here’s my breakdown of why women provide services:

the SPOTY award for this year at the last minute, or are you just fucking with the crowd to see who's gullible?  Lol

Of course  there are populations in all those categories.
.
Of course you can never know how many are supporting drug habits, but I haven't seen much evidence of that, so I'd have to say the main bulk of long term providers consists of chicks who make more money that way than typical office jobs.
.
It's not to say they are rich, but just that it is a higher source of income than working regular hours.   Many of them have work from home jobs too, so they have a regular income even if sex work is a bit irregular.
.

Some of us are here out of free will & really enjoy making fantasies come true. I love the thrill this hobby provides. I have a full-time day job & a never ending responsibilities of being the only active parent as a single Super Mom. I’m sober. No drugs & no alcohol. I am 100% independent. I love sex, fetish fun & BDSM! I’m not your average provider. Please don’t assume you know anything about providers if you hobby a certain level. This is not an industry for the weak. Only the strong survive & continue to thrive. I just ran 3 miles. Make it great day my loves. Remember to be kind to yourself, and others. Smile for me! Xoxo

stop advertising on my posts.

If you’re too thin-skinned to take criticism on a blatantly controversial post, maybe you should dial it back your wild speculation.

Your 65% substance abuse number is separate from your other categories.

the point is…i don’t see her post as criticism…her post reads like an ad on eros. i personally don’t care about her background. per the title of the post…what’s her breakdown?

How did "scammers or being trafficked" get lumped together? What's your breakout of that group?
 
And the wording of the "abuse" category... How long have you been doing this? Think about the girls you've seen. You still want to posit that %65 of them were driven to this by an expensive habit or keep doing it because they developed one? I've only met one in that category, and that could only be said for the first part of her career.  
 
She came to like it. She liked the money, the power, the independence, the adoration. She loved guys groveling for access to her holes. She was thoroughly entertained. Haha. I go to know her extremely well, she even called me from jail! We would hang out for hours. She never did get clean, so there's still that.

I went to this site: http://pickerwheel.com/tools/random-number-generator/  
set the lower limit at 0 (0%) and the upper limit at 100 (100%) and I get the same results: 5, 5, 25, 65.  
.
Q.E.D.

I would agree on 65%  of the lower levels are substance abusers probably higher. The first thing this thread brings to mind is Skipthegames  type advertisers. For the higher rated 8-10 TER girls  I would think less likely, keeping track of multiple clients, endless travel along with keeping CSI or TER scores high requires a lot of hard work and commitment to there profession. Nothing great in business comes easy.      

4% truly love sex and meeting new people  
4% have a main source of income and demand a ridiculously high donation expecting that only occasionally someone will actually pay it  
24% are scammers or being trafficked  
64% have substance abuse problems and have to support their habits
4% undetermined.  

with reality is definitely a recipe for SPOTY level posting.
