None of these jobs involve subjecting oneself to multiple disease vectors every day and arbitrary acts of violence. Plus, as the 'my body my choice' crowd recognizes, our bodies are one of the most important sources of our identity. To have others treat our bodies as disposable commodities essentially communicates to us that we ourselves are disposable.
- esarbe 9y agoThe current economic setup already forces us to treat our bodies, our precious time of life as commodities. Prostitution is just one example, there are many others. If you argue for changing the economic setup so that nobody has to do work they would rather not be doing -- I'm all for it. But don't make it sound as if prostitution was anything special in that regard.

- JoeAltmaier 9y agoYou've never been in a crowded theatre then. Or doctors' office. And yes that same argument, our body is important to us, I'll repeat (for the last time) is important to all performance artists. Let's not project "I would be offended by this use of my body" to everyone in the world.
