This question may be best answered by an American girl who chose the profession. She lived in an apartment building I used to manage and was a cute hot 21 year old, I was late 40's, not yet exposed to Costa Rica but eager to enjoy her services.
She was late on her rent once and came to my apartment and surprised me with an offer I couldn't refuse. She had noticed I was always nice to her and also leering at her when she was wearing sexy tight outfits.
After that we regularly engaged in the activity and became friends. One time I used the term "prostitute" in conversation with her, not in a demeaning way, it's been so long I forgot what our conversation was and why I said it but she corrected me.
She told me a "prostitute" was a street walker and that she was an "escort" since she went by referrals and an agency and informing older guys like me what she was available for.
So there you have it, right from the whore's..er.. horse's mouth as they say.
Seriously, I for one treat the girls in Costa Rica with respect and appreciation who service my needs. I generally call them chicas or girls. I don't demean them or insult them. I dislike the terms whore, puta, ho, whatever, although in fun here, writing on CRT I might say "ho" as it doesn't seem as harsh, it's a bit comical to me but I would never address one of these girls directly with an insulting description.
I get to know many of the girls I have been with and find they are sweet lovely women trying to raise a K*D or two on their own and this is the only thing they know that can make them the money they need. I've been with several who are quite intelligent and are attending college on their earnings, planning to get out of the biz.
One got into real estate and is doing quite well, she used to call me up and ask for advice since I used to be in real estate and mortgages, another called me up excited after she bought her first car when I lived here and drove over to my place to service me and show it off.
Many others I have spent time with taking them to lunch, dinner, spending the night and getting to know them as people, not just fkkn machines. That actually makes them much much sexier to me when I have befriended them and we have an element of trust and respect, plus we outright enjoy each others company.
I believe the guys who disdain, look down upon and belittle them find themselves time and time again receiving minimal service and they blame it on the girl or the establishment (HDR) and don't realize these girls are able to sense their hostile demeaning attitude and it's not that they don't deliver, it's that they can't.
I have several favorites who really deliver for me, giving me true GFE, 3 hour sessions, etc., etc. it's not that I'm any better looking, any wittier or pay any more than the next guy, it's because they know and sense that I like them and respect them and treat them as human beings, and I find it pays off in spades.
