    Meanwhile you’re probably perfectly OK with people selling their body to do labor I assume?

      Are you really arguing that putting in a hard days work in a factory is the SAME as having sex with strangers for money? REALLY?

          sleep with this fat old ugly man who will possibly beat you or kill you or impregnate you or do deranged sadistic things to you-- or work in this assembly line making iphones! Gee what a equivalent choice! So the same!

        Sex work, whatever form it takes, is real work.

        Flipping burgers is real work.
        Construction is real work.
        Writing code is real work.
        Growing pot is real work.
        Sitting in meetings all day is real work.
        Professional sports is real work.
        Having sex for money is real work.
        Unclogging toilets is real work.
        Streaming is real work (nude or clothed).

        If it pays the bills and isn’t harmful then it is real work.

          “working against the existence of trans people is real work! especially when your wife is a literal prostitute!” is not a winning argument, my guy.

          “banning books that say things I don’t like is not a winning argument, my guy”

          “banning an entire religion while you hold a bible upside down after assaulting peaceful protesters isnt a winning argument my guy”

          “starting an ‘academy/casino/business’ that fails and professing your prowess in money making isnt a winning argument my guy”

              Dude I never said anything like that. Sexuality is wonderful and a fantastic part of a relationship. Nothing wrong with it as the Song of Solomon and my marriage would attest. But we’re not talking about ‘sexuality’ we’re talking about people USING other people for their own lustful desire. Which is NOT wonderful. There is nothing good or right about a financial transaction so you can use someone else to get your rocks off - its not love, its not compassionate, its not empathetic, its just plain lustful selfishness. And therein lies the harm. You cant do that to another person and not harm them.

                Something isn’t harmful simply because it doesn’t align with your own arbitrary personal morality. Do you know what is harmful? Projecting or forcing your own hypocritical biases and arbitrary personal morality onto others.

                  Where do you get ‘hypocritical’ and ‘arbitrary’ out of what I said? And where am I ‘forcing’ anyone to do anything? Im stating my views based on years of experience working with street workers and long experience on this earth.

        I would argue just that. Its acting and there’s a demand for that job so yeah. And its definitely not easy that anyone can do it. Plus it takes preparation and they do known each other and have to pass their STD check.

          Real “acting” doesnt involve exposing yourself to someone for money and then doing the most intimate thing two people can do so that ONE person can gratify themself and the other can be used. Ive talked to a sex worker who was 18 and she grew up being abused by her father and her uncle. Her comment was, “people are going to fuck me anyway, I may as well get paid for it” Does that sound like someone who is happy to be in sex work? Or just an victim of abuse who has given up on trying to protect herself.

            See my other comment below. I’m talking about porn. Prostitution on the other hand can be made safer but its currently not.
