I posted this in reply on Independent girls of Mumbai thread but I think it is more relevant here.
"Actually, when we spend on sex workers the amount gets spent as follows:
Say we spend Rs.10,000
1) Bar dancer
Girl gets say 4000/-. She pays home rent, groceries,sends money to hometown, stitches new dresses for work, pays mobile bill, pays for traveling to and from work, she gives tips to boys who work in the bar and other miscellaneous expenses. The rent is used by landlord for his expenses. Grocery store owner earns his living from the sale. Tailor and his family make a living by this. Jio stays afloat. Driver makes a living. Helper boys in bars make a living by this.
Balance 6000 is divided as 5000 for bar owners and 1000 by waiters. Waiters spend there money for family back home and for survival. Bar owners pay exorbitant rent, buy alcohol and food, pay electricity bills, municipal taxes and pay salary to staff. Also, they have to pay a huge sum to the system to be allowed to work.
Thus the 10000 spent by you has an acceleration effect on the economy, thereby heralding prosperity all around.
2) Indie
Girl gets entire 10,000/- She spends like the bar girls above but has additional expenses like education for self or for younger siblings/children, medical expenses of parents, house rent, fashionable clothing (ready made fashion labels). At the end of the day, she tries to save some money but usually spends it with friends in restaurants and pubs trying to maintain lifestyle she is used to. Again, all her expenses have acceleration effect on the economy.
3) Spa
This is cost effective as in Rs 10000/- you can visit a spa with extra/FS at least two times. Here the spa owner gets 4000 in two visits and girl gets 6000 in two visits. The spa owners have similar expenses to bar owners but on a very small scale. The spa girls are extremely poor and spend very little on clothes. Most of their expenses is on rent and food.
As you can see, if you seriously want to eradicate poverty and be a part of a rich economy, we need to spend more in dance bars and on indies. "
