Its less awful than many many many day jobs and it pays far far far better.

fun fact: pimps are usually employees, not employers.

like im not sayin that bein a sex worker is a sweet gig but i think conflating sex work and sex trafficking is like conflating employment and slavery.

yeah i mean if you have to work anyway why not make it extremely high-earning for however long you can do it

i just wouldn't have the energy tbh, let alone for what some of the top earners do with the somewhat parasocial angle to audience interaction

then again a shitload of money buys a lot of enthusiasm from me

Sex work (not trafficking, to clarify) is always 100% preferable in all cases to working at an ALC.

Putting your back into it and fantastic hours vs... Spinal damage and lovely hours.

No-brainer.

lumping prostitution and camming together under the title "sex work" is either dumb or disingenuous. they are not the same.

eh i know people who do both and there's a hell of a lot of similarities, and a bunch of the differences are only because one is illegal

like they're obviously not the same but they're close enough that I think it's fair to consider them a common "job sector" or whatever

they also both take place in a society, and are done in exchange for money, and the clientele is mostly men

if a prostitute decides she doesn't want to service a particular customer, she can just say "no thanks" and the man legally has to leave without causing any problems. i don't see how that's any different than camming and being able to simply turn off your stream

that would be the differences that only exist because one is illegal that i specifically mentioned, yes

radical legalization of prostitution imo, then it won’t be as different.

there are countries in the world where prostitution is not illegal, and yet they still have a lot of these issues.

arguing over whether it's reasonable to combine two things into an arbitrarily defined label is possibly the most pointless argument. maybe slightly better than an argument in which everyone has a different definition of a word but refuses to acknowledge that fact but not by much

many places (amsterdam, germany, hong kong, singapore are the ones i know of) that have legalized prostitution end up with with a majority of prostitutes being immigrant women. doesnt seem like a good dynamic
