Because sex is not usually part of your job description. That obviously was different on this platform.

  Would you feel equally icky about employees being asked to do other things that weren't part of the original job description? If you are hired as a coder, and the boss asks you to start also joining sales/marketing calls with them (not in your job description) is that of equal moral ickyness as if the boss asks you to have sex with them or a third party (similarly, not in the job description)? I think not, but the explanation provided definitely doesn't capture that intuition.

    Every single software engineer contract I've seen in my career had something about 'providing consulting services' in it. But it comes down to personal comfort zone. Someone who tries to get a coder job is comfortable with coding, but may not be comfortable with doing electric installations, which clearly is not in the job description - and I would expect any of my team to tell me to go fish when I come to them with 400 meters of copper cables and a screwdriver. Women who are on that platform obviously are comfortable with the idea of exchanging sexual favours with clients. They may have limits on certain practices, and they probably would not be comfortable doing something icky and morally corrupt as coding. Moral is something very subjective, and I consider it pretentious for someone to push their own morals on others. If the people involved in that platform are ok with this, if they do these transactions out of their own volition, it is obviously wrong to send a sharia morality police after them because some grandma or some priest might be offended.
