Pls don't ruin your entire life for FEW MINUTES OF FUN, It's not worth it. Have one trusted partner for sex even it may take time to find a one

i don't know

I essentially did striptease's in front of the camera, got paid $50 an hour for it, but that was it. After it was done I put my clothes on, went back to my apartment and studied or went to class.

This depends. If their being paid for “special” services then yes. However being tipped is not the same thing as paying for something

No. Strippers are NOT prostitutes. A prostitute engages in a SEX ACT for money.

Stripping off your clothes and dancing is NOT a sex act. Millions of people do that in the privacy of their showers every day and they are certainly NOT performing a sex act.

A stripper is an ENTERTAINER.

Yes, some do engage in prostitution, but the stripping itself is NOT prostitution.

No. A stripper takes off clothes as part of an entertainment display. A prostitute has sex for money. Both work in the sex industry and both can only do what they do as long as there is a demand for it. They simply satisfy a market demand, using their mental and physical abilities. EVERYONE sells their mental or physical abilities for money, whether they are a priest, a postal worker or a prostitute.

No they dance for money and have sex for money.

No, are politicians? (they seem to sell out even more)

No they are considered dancers, prostitution involves exchanging money for sex, they aren't doing that.

No, exotic dancers...........
