    To be clear, there’s nothing wrong with marrying a woman who does soft porn. It’s only worth mentioning in the context of the rest of the stuff.

      To me, it’s only “worth” mentioning in the context of political hypocrisy.

      Outside of that, I don’t like it being demonized either.

      In your humble opinion, sure. I know a lot of guys who wouldn’t date a porn ‘star’ because they usually have other issues that make them undateable. And Im speaking from experience. I worked with sex workers for five years in a street outreach in a major city. Every single one of those girls/guys were there because of bad circumstances in their lives - and it was very often abuse or drugs that kept them locked into sex work. The whole idea that its a victimless job if you do it online is a joke. Its a sick world and it only destroys people’s souls in the long run. Only the inexperienced and horny men want to believe there are no personal consequences. There most definitely are.

        First, she wasn’t some prostitute on the street. She was a model who did some nude modeling. I don’t recall her ever having done sex work.

        Second, like the other person says, it’s because those jobs lack protections and support, and are looked down on by our society. Only the most desperate end up in those positions usually. The problems aren’t cause by the sex work. Rather the sex work is done because they have problems, and the problems surrounding the job compound these issues.

          She was a nude model AND she ran in the same circles as Epstein and Maxwell AND she ended up with Pedo Donnie and you dont think she did sex work? That woman sold her soul to get with Donnie and given all the testimony from other women about how degrading Donnie treated them, she worked HARD to get to be his side piece and then wife. I feel sorry for her.

            Eh, maybe. Not what the person above was saying. They said soft-core porn. She did nude modeling. She may have also done sex work in private, but we don’t have any evidence of that. Regardless of if she did or didn’t, the above comment is wrong (or purposefully misleading —maybe some would say nude modeling is soft-core porn) about their claim.

        That is not a problem with sex work, it’s the lack of protection and regulation causing that symptom.

        You same problems in other professions that are not respected by society.

        I think the root cause is free capitalism with only minor regulations. This grows into oligarchy cancer real fast.

      Nothing wrong with it, but it lacks the class and dignity generally associated with a head of state and/or their partners. Though it is of course fitting right in with the rest of the shitshow.
