A look at women who pay for their pleasure, and the sex workers who satisfy their cravings.

What Does It Take To Be A Whore in This Town?!

A slut is someone who has sex with lots of people, or as urban dictionary defines it, “a woman with the morals of a man.” A whore is someone who gets paid for that predilection.
