Here's an interesting article on this phenomenon.
"While there are a number of women [in Japan] who take up the trade looking for money to pay for their family, or for drugs, the majority of these ladies are working to satisfy a habit of a different kind — consumerism. For women who are looking for a lifestyle of posh restaurants, massages and manicures, and easy access to the season’s latest high-class brand goods, the sex industry is a viable option to earn a high income without the education, talent or long hours normally required for a high-paying career."

This I have often found to be the case also. A lot of my girlfriend's classmates in high school were getting dates with salary men using a cellphone hook-up service (very popular...) and came home with the newest Louis Vuiton handbags (that cost over 1000$) and their parents just turn a blind eye to it, or accept the lies that "my bf got it for me" as if a high school boy could afford it (and then another one every month or so...).
