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.

Not really. I've never paid for a prostitute, I've never gone to a single strip club in my life or anything. I've only read the horror stories of what porn actors had gone through and it's really not a sustainable way of living.

Sex should be treated as just a consenting activity between two or more people where nobody has to be hurt or wronged in any way for doing.

There's a lot of variables and unchecked liabilities involved when it comes to treating sex as like a job.

Pretty bold talk for someone who setup a snitch line lol. But it’s a good phrase to follow. Unfortunately lots of people use it when they’re engaging in felonious levels of criminal behavior on a corporate and government level. Hating regulation, wanting small small small government - it’s all because they want to engage in exploitative, unethical, toxic and criminal business practices and they want the government to fuck off about it.

But I digress lol :-)

Like most people say here, if that's something you want to do that's all good so long as you're protected by law and workers' rights and all that jazz. Personally, though, I don't really understand it. I mean, why would anybody want to do this with all the risks (rape, diseases)? I'm open to receiving perspectives and education, currently I just don't really "get" it.

All workers deserve respect. Labor is our means for survival in the modern world, the base good everyone trades for their livelihood.

Regardless of the type of work, all workers deserve respect. Ya gotta eat.

The choice/situation blends in with every occupation so as long as no aggression or wrongful leverage is involved.

No I don’t approve sex work. Who am I? The sex work administration? Do you need a stamp from me to perform sex work? No?

Then who cares?

Yes because it's none of my business what other people do with their autonomy and they should be protected in their right to do what they want to do with their autonomy
