This title sounds so inappropriate, but I don't know any other way to say it...my prostitute passed away

And you're better? Here you are treating her as if she wasn't even human.

"he wanted to use her body to get off with"

She was actively looking for people who wanted buy her body for a short time. Whatever her reasons, whatever her circumstances, she chose this profession. Being a customer does not make him evil. She was an adult, and able to make those choices for herself. He is not responsible for her choices.

"What she needed was a friend that cared enough to help her get off the drugs before they killed her, a friend that wanted to listen to her talk without the stipulation that sex be part of the deal."

Firstly, the sex stipulation was hers. She was a working girl, she doesn't have time for idle chit chat with some college age kid. He wants to talk,he needs to pay, and if he's paying anyway is it really such a crazy thing that he'd like to get his money's worth? Secondly, do you honestly think he would be capable of talking her out of the lifestyle she chose? He was going to her for advice, he describes their conversation as therapy for him. You really think she would have taken him seriously?

"Now he wants to come here with some romanticized idea about their business relationship and get sympathy for her death and pats on the back because he didn't treat her as bad as he could have. He's only romanticizing the whole thing because it's easier to cope if he thinks of her as a friend that overdosed on drugs rather than a vulnerable woman who's drug addiction he consistently aided and abetted while being just one more guy in her life that used her for sex."

I don't think this guy is awesome, but then again neither does he. If you actually read his post you'll see what sounds like a very young and naive boy who was going to a hooker for life advice.

I doubt you've ever actually spoken to any prostitutes in your life. You obviously look down on them, considering that you don't seem to believe they are capable of making decisions about their loves or their bodies.Why don't you go meet a few and tell them what you think? Let me know how that goes.
