No, you're abusing the other person's mental status and situation (especially in third world countries). The transaction is thus not fair. The prostitute is not able to oversee the results of her action at that very moment and is misled by temporary cravings or the routine in it all, while the buyer is in the better position. In common ethics, the buyer is morally obliged to do what is not only in his best interest.
Compare it to signing a contract at gunpoint. While the buyer is not using any threats or violence, there is a definite pressure he is applying.
