Well might be ok with you, but I think the average woman has more respect for herself than doing porn shoots and I certainly wouldn't date someone who didn't have a higher standard than that. All those girls doing Only Fans are finding out the hard way that it comes back to bite you in the long run.
Leave women and what they do, legaly, alone. Thank you.
Sex work is real work. It takes no less respect for oneself to do sex work than it does to do any other work. The only reason it "comes back to bite" people is because society still stigmatises sex workers.
And WHY does society stigmatize sex workers? Because its degrading to women, its manipulative, and its generally used by men who USE people for their own gratification which is completely disrespectful. NO women (or man) ever grew up as a child thinking "I sure hope I can be a sex worker some day" because its a job of last resort.
Stop trying to control women.
Nobody grew up wanting to be a sewer worker but you aren't running around the internet saying they're lacking self respect
Are sewer workers USED (and often abused) by other people for their own pleasure when they do their work? Completely different scenario.
The only people who think sex work is fine are those who dont do it and havent talked in depth to someone who has. I spent five years on the street making friends with girls and boys who did it to survive. There is NOTHING good about it. NOTHING. Its degrading, its soul crushing. Its VERY often accompanied by physical or psychological abuse which is why sex workers kept 'bad date' lists to warn other workers of the really creepy guys. Its a horrible way to make money but they did it because they didnt have any other way to survive. Next time you have rose colored glasses on about sex work, give me a call and Ill put you in touch with a 12 yr old girl who was pimped out by her 16 yr old sister and you can have a long discussion about the joys of sex work. Or with a 16 yr old boy who ran away from home and ended up getting sodomized by a man in a park because he needed 40 bucks to get a meal. Its really glamorous stuff, everyone loves it.
And you think these issues are limited to sex work? You don't think office workers are used and abused by c-suite?
I have friends who do sex work, but you're free to lecture me all you like since you're the expert, allegedly.
Part of the massive issues in sex work is to do with poor rights and protections for sex workers, because it is stigmatised and not seen as real work. Obviously trafficking and child abuse are unacceptable but they are not inherent to the job, they are an issue in the same way child labour is in many other fields. There are simply more protections in place in other fields to prevent it from happening as much.
