from the job I do”.
“People who offer sex for money. That is a normal job like any other such as
to work in the field, sing… It is not the kind of job so that you fall in love with
someone, just a sex service and nothing more.”
“Woman who works and takes care of her family.”
“A human who works in order to survive.”
The interviewees have emphasized the lack of financial means as the main
reason for having started to do sex work, as well as the fact that you are able to
earn quickly and for some of them the desire to do the job that they do.
“You earn money quickly and I adore my job.”
“Because I love my job and I earn a lot more and I am not exploited.”
“Well because I have to, I am not with my parents anymore, so I started doing
this job as I couldn’t find another.”
“Well, I have to, not because I want to, I don’t have a stabile job and I have a
child to look after which is why I stared doing sex work.”
“The money. I don’t want to depend on someone else for cigarettes, marijuana,
evenings out.”
“By looking at others doing it and earning good money, so I wished to try.”
“The reason was my child – finances, of course.”
“The reason was money. I needed it for psychoactive substances and that was
the quickest way to earn.”
“During my university studies I didn’t have enough money to pay for my tuition
fees, to secure a normal living and I needed help from my family.”
The research interviewees primarily had identical opinions regarding sex work,
i.e. that sex work is a job like any other, only a small number of them viewed it
as a negative occurrence:
“It is job like any other, but it is not easy to sleep with five or more different
people in a day.”
“Just like any other job. I have worked this abroad as well, and trust me it is
very different.”
