The women who followed the Civil War general's camp came to be called "hookers" or "Hooker's Women." No we don't have to call them that.
If you are an introspective person, you will gain a great deal from visiting one, but it is mostly something like loneliness and emptiness and the shame of one's own desperation. If you are predominantly a naturalistic person, who only sees the world as comprised by urges and desires, then visiting a hooker will just deliver a physical release.

Another name for a practitioner of the world's oldest profession. Hookers provide services to guys for many reasons. Convenience, availability no responsibility or emotional commitment. Hookers are paid to do things most guy's wives or girlfriends will not do. The word hooker derived from General Hooker during the Civil War.

Prostitution allows people to satisfy needs they otherwise could not. Such things as the spread of disease, brutalization by pimps/customers, etc. are, none of them, the result of prostitution as such, but of prostitution being illegal. In countries where it is legal and regulated those problems are virtually non-existent, which is probably why they legalized it in the first place. What we have, like with marijuana, and before it, alcohol, is Prohibition. When you pass a law by which no-one is willing to abide, you merely increase the profits of those willing to supply a now forbidden product or service. As an example, Britain had almost no drug-related crime for decades because it was considered a medical rather than a criminal problem. When, caving to major U.S. pressure, they changed their laws, organized crime moved in and the British crime rate went through the roof. There is, always has been, and probably always will be a demand for prostitutes, and as long as there is demand there will be suppliers. No amount of laws, sermons, finger-wagging, hand-wringing, or anything else, will change the basic economics of the situation. That's just the reality of the world as it currently stands.

We gain diseases. Ruined marriages. Ruined reputation as you're hauled away to jail.If you go with them you sin against your own body. You sin against them by using them. If you think you are doing them a favour because get paid. Wow, What a great humanitarian you are. If you really want to do them a favour, give them your money and don't have sex with them.
They are called so many other names. Personally I don't hear the word hookers referring to prostitutes that much any more. Prostitutes is the word that I hear referring to.., so called, "Hookers"
They are victims of abuse. You are the abuser by using them.
To change your ways, Change your thinking,
God Bless You,

The term "Hooker" comes from General Hooker from the American Civil War. Prostitutes followed his armies and would "service" the soldiers. Their original name was "Hookers Girls". This was eventually shortened to just "Hookers".
How much do we gain?? Well, we gained the spread of disease, that's about all.

they're called "Hookers" because some guy with the last name of Hook used to go and pick up these girls from the street. So they'd be called, "Hooker's girls" And, slurfully dubbed "Hookers"

There are people who simply drift along, searching for somewhere they belong to in this world. Looking for a place to call their own, they want to know where they stand in life. Years go by, but the answers might still be unknown to them, even til their very last breath on their deathbeds. Maybe that's what this journey called life is all about.

For those that use their services, a great deal is gained! And via the "trickle down effect" (no pun intended), The funds made from their efforts/services in turn help others because of basic needs... food, shelter, clothing etc etc etc.... So in that regard as well they too contribute to society.
No, we don't "need" to call them that, there are numerous other names, labels, titles which they are referred to as.

You don't gain from them - they hopefully gain money from you. All you are doing is enabling them to choose a self-destructive lifestyle of allowing others to use them and abuse them. You enable their pimps to use and abuse them.
I think they are called 'hookers' because their body is the bait that they "hook" you with, to make money...
Calling them "hookers" also depersonalizes them so they are easier to use.

Hookers do serve a purpose for sexual predators. It is better to pay a girl for sex than to rape some innocent woman. I don't what you mean "so called either they are or they aren't.
