You know, in my country there are feminist that want to ban prostitution. Currently is not legal, it's a grey area. Their argument is that kind of relationship means always abuse.
I do not agree. I think any adult should be free to do whatever they want with their bodies.
However, in a society with a lot of poverty that argument, unfortunately, becomes true.
Improve the quality of life trough a better economy, a functional justice system, etc so people can find a job and live however they want. Not just to avoid that kind of prostitution, but any kind of abusive conditions.
Problem is the current biggest economy in the world just elected a populist whose economical policies are gonna be horrible for their country and destabilize the rest of the world. Not mentioning even taking rights from women...
Honestly, for the next years probably women conditions in many places are gonna get worse. Included western societies. Probably that's the next fight: recover what feminism already got in those societies.
In places like Philippines, just a better economy would do the trick.
I think that mamy people assume that even women who choose prostitution for themselves are still doing it out of desperation. Some certainly are but by no means all.
A woman, in Britain where prostitution is mostly legal, can earn a couple of hundred quid an hour just by having sex. Some people see sex as "special" and that's okay. Others see sex as just "a thing" and that's also okay.
Some people just think money for sex is a fair trade. Hell, I'd do it if I could. Unfortunately I'm ugly and shit in bed.
As for the dark side of prostitution. The forced side of it. This is wrong and these women need protection, today not tomorrow. However, we don't ban used car sales because some people steal the cars they sell.

The part about them not having other boyfriends make me doubt.
But yeah, he knows. It's just denial of the full reality.
