I thought this too at first, but I guess it's because they aren't used to any john just wanting to talk...it's not really their job description and they might jump to the conclusion that the person is a freak or a wierdo because no-one's ever been interested in anything they have to say, that's not what their mouth is for in their experience and their world... most people don't really care about prostitutes, sadly, so they would obviously think it was wierd for someone to all of a sudden take an interest in them and their story!
Though I have met ex-prostitutes who worked in brothels and they are a different kettle of fish (no pun intended there.) The woman I spoke with about her experience said that she would often play the role of listener to many men who had ♥♥♥♥♥♥ homelives and lots of problems. Some of them have hearts of gold and consider it part of the job to be compassionate towards their clients.
Maybe the OP might want to consider interviewing prostitutes that work in brothels...they may not have as many defences to break through? Then again, I don't really know.
