Does this make me a prostitute?

I started reading this book this morning and the first page of the first chapter made me laugh.

Once upon a time, there was a prostitute called Maria.

Like all prostitutes, she was born both innocent and a virgin, and, as an adolescent, she dreamed of meeting the man of her life (rich, handsome, intelligent), of getting married (in a wedding dress), having two children (who would grow up to be famous) and living in a lovely house (with a sea view).

Eleven Minutes
Paulo Coelho

I was born both innocent and a virgin. I've always dreamt of meeting the man of my life and getting married and having TWO children and living in a lovely house by the sea.

So, does this make me a prostitute?
