Are You a Prostitute or an Escort?
A study by evolutionary psychologist Hannah Bradshaw showed that when you have control over your environment, then your disgust is quite high. Whereas if you don't have control overyour environment, you down-regulate your disgust. So I think an idea for a study might be to examine whether sex workers who have more control over the clientele that they see, do they have a higher level of sensitivity of disgust? They can control it, so they don't have to. Those who are really a sex worker who maybe doesn't have really that much control, they probably down-regulates their disgust mechanism. Kind of like Louise talks about there.
