How so? The way I see it is that they rake in thousands while not giving anything permanently, on the other hand there are people who risk financial and emotional ruin from predatory sex workers (I am not saying all of them are that way, I have met honest ones myself).
If you are talking about pimps, Onlyfans has mostly indepenent workers AFAIK.
- cultus 6y agoThey are giving quite a lot permanently. Their images will always be out there on the internet and in the world, and could be used against them when applying for future jobs, etc. The sex worker generally doesn't have XXX footage of their clients. It's the other way around. Sure, some people give them more than they can afford. Sometimes car dealerships sell people dumb cars they can't afford too. edit: Regarding pimps, there's plenty of women who are forced by pimps to perform online. It's extremely common. I imagine moreso with COVID.
- jbirer 6y agoI would argue that the normalization of virtual sex work is in the process of being socially accepted because a lot of sex workers are forced into it due to unemployment and the current COVID-19 situation, and due to the sheer amount of girls getting into it. It seems quite trivial compared to people losing their wealth and emotional health because they "don't know what the world is really like".
- toomuchtodo 6y agoWhat permanence would you expect from transactional intimacy? It’s like going to the movies, you’re paying someone for a temporary escape from reality. Permanence would be a sex worker on retainer or a committed partner.
- chii 6y agoPermanence, as in friendship after the fact. And some people might mistaken transactional intimacy for real friendship.
