Speculation
In an interview in 2008 with Buddy TV, Jensen was asked about how the boys funded their lifestyle.
:"Dean's a bit of a pool shark and also a bit of a gambler. It doesn't really show it all the time, but it's definitely implied that there are poker games and pool matches that they can win some money on. And who knows? Dean's a promiscuous kind of guy. Who knows how he drums up the funds that they use?"
The last comment was taken by some fans to imply that Jensen thinks Dean may have done some form of sex work at times.

Dean: Well, hey. Anybody could have tackled that guy and wrestled the gun away... Prevented mass murder.
Sex worker: Here's what I'm gonna do. Normally, I charge $400 a night. Why don't we call it an even deuce and get the hell out of here?
Dean: What do I look like?
Sex worker: What do I look like? Cheapskate.

Delta: Hmm. Says you. See, my sister's a hooker. So hookers get paid first, and then you get the goods. Look, I'm not the one with demons on my ass. You want to renege on our deal, it's fine by me.

Crowley: Gerald... A bordello? You opened a whorehouse in my name?
Gerald: Well, technically, the place was called Raul's girls, but... Yes. Look, Raul said that...
Crowley: [...] So, you and your half-wit pal threw me into the sex trade? I'm evil. That's just tacky.
Waiter: I don't know, I mean I thought getting two hookers in here was pretty damn unusual, but that was before Marty keeled over.
