See, it's funny because I have a very hard time picturing Sam or Jared in the hooker role whereas I don't have that problem with Dean or Jensen. I don't know if that's because I've seen so many fic summaries that feature Dean/Jensen as the hooker that it's sunk in my head or if something about Dean/Jensen lends him more naturally to the idea.
Yes, and I've seen a number of fics that I wouldn't really classify as "hookerfics" but in which Dean turns the occasional trick to help them get by and it seems more plausible than Sam doing it. Dean's the one who's always been about doing anything for his family, and given the way Dean in canon has such a skewed idea of his own worth, it seems to make sense that he wouldn't consider himself above whoring himself to make a few bucks.

There’s plenty of Hooker!Jared fics around (usually with him wearing one of those tight little vest tops) but he seems to get the Happy Hooker storylines and Jensen the Damsel in Distress ones. I guess it’s that Dean, and thus Jensen by extension, looks so very pretty when he’s suffering whereas Sam goes scrunchy-faced and a bit Cro-Magnon.
As far as ‘Winchesters For Sale’ are concerned, I guess there’s more with Dean because it makes sense he’d be the one to do it to keep Sam fed.
Jensen-Dean has a vulnerability under the swagger and bad-boy bravado he puts on that you can see in his face. It makes him beautiful, especially when he's suffering. Jared's so big and muscular, it's harder to picture him needing to be rescued.
I wouldn't say I'm really reading hookerfics (AND NOT WRITING THEM EITHER, MISSY! yet). But I seem to see it in summaries quite often and I've read a few fics that aren't really hookerfics but in which Dean (always Dean in my observation) turns a few tricks to earn some quick cash.
Hm, I can't recall the names of the ones I've seen. There's a very long Jensen/Jared hookerfic, "Do I Seem Bulletproof to You" by fleshflutter that I saw getting recced all over the place but her writing's a little too extreme for me. I can't personally recommend it but I know plenty of people loved it. You can also keep an eye on spnnewsletter for a daily roundup of fics in all genres.
I have seen shorts make an appearance too, on occasion - plus the obligatory mention of the glimpse of skin visible between what he's wearing on his top and bottom halves :)
I don't know about Sam but Jared seems so good-naturedly goofy that I just can't see him as a hooker, happy or otherwise. He just totally doesn't have that Tragic Beauty thing going on the way Jensen does (see icon).

writingreading hooker!fics now?!?There're some hooker!Sam/Jared fics out there but I don't enjoy them as much as I enjoy Dean/Jensen in that role.
Because Dean or Jensen's outrageous beauty is tempered by an air of vulnerability
You've said it all there :))

EDIT - Waitaminute, you mean "vest" in the English sense, right? What we call a tank top or "beater?" Yeah, that I can see.
