I love the whorestory you're keeping alive and relevant. There was a word I came across and I'll be damned if I can find it now. I believe it was ancient Greek, a disparaging term for prostitutes who stole, who fleeced their tricks. It translated directly into "chicken," and it's how I always saw myself. Gallinae or something close to that...work is work. Sex was work. Dangling sex to steal was easier work, por moi.
"The pornai" - same root as "pornography"?
Generally, "writing about whores"
:)
