a friend of mine who was a prostitute before whe was locked into a asylum gor raped in the ass by a John and was so scared that he got an orgasm. It was a realy traumatic experience. I have read testamonys from many other prostitutes that has had the same experiences. Prostitution has nothing to do with a big sex-drive or something like that.That's really shit for your friend, but don't assume it's the same for everyone.
I have found no material that shows anything else. The only material i have seen where people talk about how fun it is to be a prostitute is in tabloids and in material from groups like Coyote who claim to be some kind organisation for prostitutes but the only members are pimps and johns.
I doubt that any prostitutes do it because it's fun, but I think your friend's experience was probably an extreme one. And the extreme experiences are the ones you're more likely to hear about.

Who? I've seen plenty of people deny your assertion that all prostitutes are always in a shitty situation, and that prostitution is necessarily equivalent to rape and slavery, but I don't think anyone's said it's not a shitty job.
Where does all this reformative thinking comes from?Are there no anarchists on this forum at all? If the prostitutes would have unions who would the union negotiate with? The pimps? In Oslo/Norway Pimps are not that common*. There is an unwritten rule between the streetprostitutes(i.e most of the prostitutes in Oslo) to keep the prize on a stable level with the prize of a hit. When the price of the drugs goes up so does the prize on runketurer. Sometimes old crack-heads who has been so worn out by prostitution, drug abuse and age that they cant compete with the other** try to compete by lowering the prize on themself. When something like that is discovered the other prostitutes hunts that person from the street. Its like a cartel made by the wretched of the earth so i dont see what good a union might do.
In that instance a union could negotiate with the government, say, to make their working environment safer. But unions are probably more useful for those who work in brothels. And yeah, it is reformist - unions almost always are - but that doesn't mean we shouldn't support them.
In most countries prostitution is ilegal(in Sweden the Johns are the criminals instead tough) in any of the cases it would be hard to combine it with a union. To make it legal is no way to solve it either since al atemps to do that has had fatal effects and the prostitutes and for prostitutes like those in the streets of Oslo it would mean an even stricter form of slavery and even less indipendce. In Thailand the prostitutes are now united to stop atemp of the state to legalise prostitution.
I think there are a number of countries now where it's the Johns that are criminalised rather than the workers. In those cases, why shouldn't they have unions? And where it's illegal, they obviously can't have official unions, but surely getting together and organising (as they're doing in thailand to stop legalisation, if I understand you correctly) would be a step in the right direction.

*= I dont remember how the prostitutes got rid of them but hopefully they got together and kicked the shit out the pimps.
**= The eternal teenager is the most common ideal for Johns just like in most media. Moviestars doing faceliftes to remove wrinkles and mutilate their breasts to remove signs of agin. Pornstars shaving their vaginas to look more like children and so on...
