why do women become prostitutes?

I suppose I was a prostitute,,, actually, there is no denying it., I was. It all started as a dare between myself and a friend that we would go out together and if a guy hit on us, which they did, we would pretend to be a hooker and give them a price to have us... Usually, it would shut most guys down and they would leave us alone..... One night, maybe because I had too much to drink and he was very, VERY attractive it went a little further. I told him 75 bucks and I would go outside and have a quickie with him. He gave me the money; the rest is history, as they say.
