Maybe, or maybe they are risking their life, health, and dignity desperate to put a roof over their child's head for the night and you're profoundly ignorant or pretending to be.

Most of the working class is selling the majority of their waking life-hours under the same circumstances, I suppose you see that fundamental foundation of our society as coercion and slavery too if you are consistent? I don't see much difference with a tech worker being coerced to spent 8+ hours a day building repulsive advertising and surveillance technologies to put a roof over their head. People sell their soul, mind and body in different ways.

Yes, but I'd choose another word than "foundation." > I don't see much difference with a tech worker being coerced to spent 8+ hours a day building repulsive advertising and surveillance technologies to put a roof over their head. People sell their soul, mind and body in different ways. Absolutely not. Your logic is vulgar. Transactional sex is a vice, so categorically different from software development. Furthermore, prostitution is a vice that undermines intimate sexual relations, both reproductive and otherwise. Family and intimacy mark a frontier of still-sacred relations that capital has thus far preserved in it's own interest. The nuclear family was wrought from villages as the smallest viable mobile labor reproduction unit. Society’s productive capacity straightforwardly depends on these sacred institutions. Software development threatens nothing of the sort. I can only imagine you are drinking libertarian kool aid, also a vice.

    Our worldviews seem to be so different that I struggle to know where to begin with responding to that. I don't see these concepts of "vice" and sacredness, it seems strangely religious

      If you hold nothing sacred, I can only assume you'd have no problem pimping your own mother? Would you?

        I strongly associate the strong desire to instantly label people with lower intelligence.

When was the last time your boss's customers put their dicks inside of you and filled your body with semen? Your cushy tech job is a world away from prostitution.

    That seems less exploitive of labor. At least you can pick your hours, clients, sex acts, and pay. With the former job, you don’t have a choice anymore.

> The transactional aspect is specifically to compensate for not doing as they please, so what are you talking about? I'm just saying that this statement is categorically false, in that, there are people who engage in sex work at their pleasure. You're dismissal of their existence, in fact, proves your ignorance. https://youtu.be/cFSrxSBrgSc https://youtu.be/cFSrxSBrgSc
