Furthermore, the social cicle of philosophy students is apparently too small for you to have learned that most people are not capable of properly estimating the results of their actions, and understanding what sequence of events is needed for them to get or keep their life on track.

Ah, so your paternalistic views do not just extend to prostitutes, but to the vast majority of humanity? So, in your view, people should be protected from their own choices, and their freedom to make these choices should be taken away, so that someone else (the state perhaps?) can decide for them what "the good life" is.
By protecting others from their perceived inability to make informed decisions, you simultaneously take away their freedom, which is the very essence of what it means to be human.
