power imbalances are born from necessity, i disagree that sex work is empowering for anyone partied to it, but i also dislike any work that places another beneath another creating class division. so while i see sex work as bad, i see sex work creating division it is something to be accepted with in our current society and if a sex worker says they feel empowered by their work then so be it.

Yep. There is definitely a strong market for it. And i firmly believe it alleviates tensions enough to prevent a lot of assaults
Always a great question to ask software nerds. Great thread idea dude!
All workers deserve respect. Labor is our means for survival in the modern world, the base good everyone trades for their livelihood.
Regardless of the type of work, all workers deserve respect. Ya gotta eat.
Like most people say here, if that's something you want to do that's all good so long as you're protected by law and workers' rights and all that jazz. Personally, though, I don't really understand it. I mean, why would anybody want to do this with all the risks (rape, diseases)? I'm open to receiving perspectives and education, currently I just don't really "get" it.
Yes because it's none of my business what other people do with their autonomy and they should be protected in their right to do what they want to do with their autonomy
The choice/situation blends in with every occupation so as long as no aggression or wrongful leverage is involved.
No I donβt approve sex work. Who am I? The sex work administration? Do you need a stamp from me to perform sex work? No?
Then who cares?
