I’m not against those who work for sex, but the idea to earn for a living doesn’t seem nice. IMO, sex should be for 2 people (or more for others who prefer polyamory) who wants to be intimate/romantic with each other. My point is money should not be the purpose.

    Sure it’d be great if basic needs like food, shelter, healthcare and yes, sex, weren’t commoditized, but until we get Sexicaid Sexicare for All, I’m fine with people making money from sex and paying for it. Legalize and regulate it for the safety of the workers and the customers.

    ^Someone please come up with a better name than Sexicaid^

    Personally i am ok with sex being for money, as long as its a choice. Nobody should be forced into sex work. One can say that work by definition is exploitation but if one has multiple work options and they choose sex work as a line of work, i am ok with it being an option.

    It should at max be paid minimum wage. It’s a job that requires no prior experience or education. Why should it be paid better than a gas station clerk?

    I like this answer, but he deleted. It’s still in my inbox so I’m gonna share but not mention the commentor’s name

    In germany sex Work is a normal regulated job like any other. You are insured, receive vacation days, etc. It is accepted here as completely normal work like any other. Because it is. was once in a brothel with a friend. While he was in the room with a lady, talked to the others and asked why they were doing this job. The answer was “I like dicks” and “Its fun and pays very well” To be honest, the ladies seem to enjoy their work more (and earn a lot more) than any job I’ve had in my life.

      Germany still has a problem with sex trafficking however they have a much better system than 99.9% of other countries in the world.

    Not my business, but would hope appropriate precautions are in place for both parties involved.

    If both sides can choose who to engage with, would that sway you? It doesn’t necessarily have to have the sweetness of intimacy or romance to it, it can be a fantasy and a means to an end.

    It is also called the world’s oldest business. They have done it long before I could ever judge it, and they will continue afterwards, whatever my judgement may be.

    Legalize it, tax it, regulate it like any other job.

    I’d not buy any, even when single.

    I would consider selling before a lot of other jobs. Depends on the money really. Not much of a market for straight, average looking, men in their 30s however.

    By the time we normalize sex work, automated alternatives will be available.

    I am not saying holodecks will be invented soon, but if everyone had access to basically Star Trek like holodeckes, why would we need real prostitutes?
