I’m not against those who work for sex, but the idea to earn for a living doesn’t seem nice. IMO, sex should be for 2 people (or more for others who prefer polyamory) who wants to be intimate/romantic with each other. My point is money should not be the purpose.

    For instance, it imply that some poor women are gonna take it regardless the consequence, just because it’s the best alternative to pay the bills.

    How is this principally different from a poor person taking any shitty job to pay the bills? Like garbage collector or similarly unpleasant/disrespected jobs. The system always forces poor people to settle for shitty jobs. Sex work is not the issue there, the system is.

      It’s different in nature. No other jobs infringe on your intimacy in this way.

      I do agree the system is the problem, i also would advocate for better conditions for any difficult jobs.

        Therapist, hospice, nursing , sports medicine, massage… a lot of jobs require some level of physical or mental intimacy.

          Therapist is another topic, with problems of mental intimacy indeed.

          The rest is the patient’s intimacy that you have to deal with. It is a vastly different intimate experience to wash a genitalia and be penetrated. And so, vastly different consequences for your well being.
