I've often wondered if we will ever get to a place like those depicted in some shows (Firefly, for example) where there is a professional class of courtesans who have a certain amount of respect, or at least a legal place in society. In the meantime, yes, this can be one of those topics that is difficult to have a real discussion around due to the programming most people have around it. In the face of that, I too appreciate the honest conversation. For me, Medium is at its best when that takes place.
