It would never happen, and you know it. I collected unemployment for a short time and was not obligated to accept a job at any number of unpleasant places, even though I would have technically been qualified. In Texas, you have to actively interview and be offered a job before you are considered to have "turned down" the gainful employment. Disability benefits are a little more stringent, but prostitution is by definition a physical job, it would never make the cut on the occupational therapists' lists.

When you have sex there's a pay off. It is very simple, and it's impossible to simplify it further. Just because you don't get paid with money doesn't mean you're not being paid.

Edit: Changed my mind and decided not to bother.
