I understand that some of the criticism comes from conservatives but the sentiment seems to extend far beyond thst. Of course, I understand it when it’s forced or when someone only does it to survive against their will. But if people genuinely want to do it, why do people hate on them?

    The escorts I’ve spoken with enjoy the work itself

    Like I said, I’m sure there are people who enjoy this, but the system is still exploitative and harmful.

    What you’re saying about the horrors of pornography and prostitution apply to ALL people that need to work for a living …

    Yes. In an ideal world, people won’t have to do any dangerous or difficult jobs. But for now, we can’t start with the worst offenders.

      do you believe that all sex work is dangerous or difficult?

      do you believe that easy & safe but compulsory work as a means to get obtain food and shelter is an ideal world?

      I think there are no worst offenders here, all labor is valid as in all labor is exploitative in a capitalist system

      Dignity is very relative here, I think you can be a sex worker and keep your dignity
