There are a few studies that show abuse is also pretty common for male sex workers, there just aren't as many of them and like their non sex worker peers they are much less likely to officially report any abuse.

I have seen that where brothels are legal as long as the management is good most of the sex workers are actually fairly happy with their jobs, especially where the prices are standardized and dependant on the specific service. It all comes down to the perception that you are paying for a service and not that you have bought a person.
