Is it Better To Work in a Brothel or as an Independent?

When I was a kid, all I knew about sex work was that brothels existed. Now let me clarify, that wasn’t because my family spoke about brothels over the dinner table, but they were the places that the press said guys went to for sex.

To be fair, these reasons spouted in the mainstream media often state that entry isn’t out of choice, or at best, it is the last chance saloon.
