Abstract
ABSTRACT Based on data obtained from open-ended interviews with call girls and escorts, this article examines prostitutes' views of prostitution as paid work. Although the meaning of conventional work has been widely studied, far less attention has been paid to “crime as work,” particularly crime involving women and sexual labor. This article examines the meaning of work for elite prostitutes by exploring prostitutes' work/career orientations; their analyses of their market and relationships with customers; their views of prostitution compared to other work; and what factors influence their choices to engage in prostitution.
