The Pimp

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that, in real life, pimps and prostitutes have a very intense, often dysfunctional relationship that often includes abuse, drugs, and co-dependency. The author points out that, from the beginning of the relationship, the pimp is the boss, and the prostitute is the submissive partner in a business reputed to be the oldest profession in the world. The paper relates that one of the factors that keeps the pimp and prostitute so closely tied is the secrecy of the business; they have a bond that is held together by a mutual legal protection desire.

Conclusion

From the Paper:

"The relationship between a pimp and a prostitute depends on the reason the prostitute got into the business and what type of prostitute she or he becomes. The street hookers often have drug addictions or other dependency issues and are more inclined to give the pimp complete control over their lives. The prostitutes that command high wages, travel with corporate moguls and are expected to know several languages, remain knowledgeable about world events and present themselves as polished legitimate dates, have more clout when it comes to who they will allow to pimp for them and what type of person that pimp needs to be."
