sex work is work no different than other jobs other than puritanical stigma against it
I don’t agree. I have a simple test which anyone cam do. Ask yourself- Would I promote my child (obviously once they become legal age) to do xyz?
Rather than banning, I'll just explain why I think you're a troll or an idiot.
If you're not rich you're selling your body.
Coal miners? Longshoreman? Farmers? Hell, sitting at a desk all day.
They all sell their body.
The only difference is you assume that it's shameful if it's sexual, or your trolling.
You know what, fuck it. Ban me. I don't think I have broken any rules.
Upvote to bring you back to zero, because why not. I thought your other comment was a reasonable question, even if I don't agree, and nothing I've seen from you so far seems ban-worthy (although obviously, the mods might disagree with me).
To respond to your question - I wouldn't promote my kid doing anything, really. I might put them in touch with experts, give them an education, or introduce them to useful people, but I can't imagine any profession that my child could get into where I would go out of my way to "promote" their work.
If they were of legal age and decided to get into porn or sex work, I'd advise being careful (especially for in-person work) and I obviously wouldn't be consuming any of their content, but other than that, I'd let them make their own decisions. I don't let my kid play sports that are going to permanently impact their mental function, and I wouldn't advise professional wrestling or football as a career choice, but if they decided that that was what they wanted to do with their life, that's up to them.
I don't see how porn is worse.
