Where are you from that prostitution isn't considered exploitative and taboo?

Where are you from that murder and thievery isn't? (Kick in the door kill things and take their stuff)

I am neither condoning or condeming prostitution (and by the way, many cultures do not have strong taboos against prostitution). I merely find it amusing that we can play a game about killing random individuals to take their magic sword, but think that sex or anything attached to it is somehow off limits.

You gain a +1 trait bonus on Sense Motive checks and Diplomacy checks to gather information, and one of these skills (your choice) is always a class skill for you.

Seriously?

I don't see why this would suprise or bother anybody. Pathfinder, and by extension fairly much every RPG, involves feats of violence and thievery, why shouldn't some other aspects of human nature creep in.

Good point, my cohort will have the leadership feat and has enough con to be near to my PC in hp and ac score, so he is as safe as me incombat ( squishy wizard)

but he will mostly be buffing and not directly attacking the enemy
his main feats are crafting, mostly to make up for him not getting a share of the loot, other than what I give him. Since I am " generous" he will get 1/4 to 1/3 of my loot
depending on our needs, but likewise I get a percentage of the profit of his magic store he runs out of my safe house.

But the followers will turn into a small "army" in a few renditions too
alothough too weak to fight
I assume they too stay and run the fort and help craft etc and become a small village on their own

I assume they will need health insurance, water treatemnt plant and a hopsital with a meternity ward

I am gonna need a cleric!
And an accountant

Don't forget about paying them a salary.

Just because they are followers and cohorts doesn't mean they work for free.
