This is a very interesting piece. We are at a stage where we’re supposed to consider sex-work as “empowered”, and in some circles bringing up the negatives can be seen as “non-progressive” or even misogynist.
It’s healthy to be able to have a debate around this issue, and it’s most definitely necessary to hear testimonies and take them at face value.
- P_I_Staker 3y agoYeah you get a lot of internet philosophers on these issues who for some reason insist on failing to understand the dark side. Most people would be horrified constantly having sex with strangers they aren't attracted to. I've also seen this on the issue of assisted suicide. It's shocking how many people go on reddit with some "enlightened" idea about how anyone should be able to kill themselves. Who are you to say their life is not worth living? Well it turns out that there are countless people in programs that both want to kill themselves and to live. If we just let everyone immediately kill themselves, as these people advocated, it would be a bloodbath of incomprehensible proportions. So in either case you have tens to hundreds of people being hurt for every one that legitimately fits the profile of needing to die, or genuinely enjoying sex work. Yet we're supposed to focus on that one unicorn, and ignore all the needless suffering.

- firecall 3y agoThe media are constantly glamourising how much someone is making from OnlyFans as an empowering statement. The reality is very different.
