Abstract

Judge Posner has mentioned in the book Sex and Reason, that sex has been given economic and social meanings; however, some of those meanings remain controversial. Therefore, the primary research question in this paper is: under what social demand and/or social pressure did the existence of sex workers rise from? As we have probably known, sex worker, as one of the most ancient occupations, has long been associated with the social difficulties faced by women. Thus, this paper discusses the gender inequality, unequal sharing of social resources, and unbalanced social opportunities all together caused the formation of sex workers in our society.
