Isn't there a difference between a whore and a prostitute? A whore can be a prostitute but a prostitute not necessarily a whore. A whore is indiscriminate and "does it" for the sake of it itself, for the pleasure or the compulsion or the lack of sense or whatever, but usually is not motivated by ulterior motives like financial gain.

So what does this mean as a metaphor extended to oneself in everyday life?

Know what I mean?
