Wow. It was bad when I lived in France, but this sounds like things have gotten a lot worse since then. I would go live with family before I would choose those kinds of options.
After reading how much the whores of gov Spitzer make an hour, it seems like being willing to sell your body earns you a lot more than being honest nowadays. ;P Totally kidding- but still, it's woah.
If i had no other choice and it meant a place to live, i'd sure as hell give it up. It's just sex (to me anyway) and it can be quite a bargaining tool.
I've been temporarily homeless before due to some very bizarre circumstances, and it was a miserable experience that I never want to repeat. There isn't much I wouldn't do to avoid it. However, I'm a smart, capable, resourceful type of girl. I'm sure I can probably keep from having to prostitute myself to keep a roof over my head. So I hope anyway.
I have two children. I would do almost anything, including an exchange like that, if it meant they were warm and safe. Maybe that makes me awful, but if I couldn't find work, live with my family, or any other avenue.... I wouldn't be above it.
