“Whores” and Showgirls in Modern Society

In modern society, sex work remains stigmatized and mainly illegal, though there are movements dedicated to changing the status quo of labor rights. What is it about humans that makes them both disrespect, and simultaneously enjoy the prospect of witnessing a potential sex worker in action?
