And vice versa - no pun intended. You could argue about the way into prostitution, about being paid to have intercourse - and why people would do it. On both sides, as in those who are offering and those who take up the offer. But I think we agree it is better to have that, instead of people being frustrated sexually.

Of course there are many things that have to be taken into account. How especially women (and this shines a light on women who make up most of the "players" globally) are being exploited - money and otherwise. Of course the movie shines a light on that - and is not afraid to go nude! I did not expect this from a movie of this age. On the other hand, there was nudity allowed in the 70s so ... still quite risque takes we see from time to time. Nothing explicit, but some may have issues with what is shown. Just a fair "warning" for the sensitive souls amongst us.

That all said, the movie is a really good character study. Showing highs and lows of a life ... "chosen" ... the black and white cinematography is helping heightening a lot ... taking it to a different level.
