You''re right, I have no reason to assume you haven't done the research. (And I regret bringing up prostitution - not a helpful example.)

I suppose what I want to say really boils down to: I am unconvinced by your assertion that "society" has this attitude you're describing, and giving more concrete details would help.

Here we go: more concreteness with some examples of conventional advice vs. the perspective I am advocating.
