That may be true for the vast majority of sex work in general. But I think it's pretty unlikely to be true for the vast majority of sex work advertised online, particularly in places like this. This is an empirical question, of course, but the sexworkers subreddit is some decent evidence in this camp.
- yters 9y agoWhy is prostitution something worth promoting anyways? It is harmful to the person selling themselves, and the people buying. Capitalism doesn't magically make all 'products' morally good. Nor should we allow immoral products merely because 'capitalism'.
- darawk 9y agoWho's promoting it? People should be free to choose to do what they want with their own bodies. That seems like a pretty basic moral principle. The burden of proof is on anyone looking to contravene that.
