I've dated a couple strippers in the past. They were nice girls. They weren't just a piece of ass when they left the club. They were real people with real lives and issues just like the rest of us. The reasons for dancing were varied, but of the 3 I dated, they've all left the profession and are now white collar professionals with college degrees. It doesn't always work out that way, but just because they're stripping doesn't make them whores.
As far as a prostitute, I dunno..that's a harder one to come to terms with merely for the disease factor. If they're clean and they have no interest in it anymore, then I probably could have dated one.
Now I want to hear more about Manic's love affair with the Dominatrix
