"Sex work is disgusting" sex workers are people, here, and they read what you write.
"Porn is harmful and should not be viewed" by everyone? Every kind of porn? Why? Hard disagree.
"Sex work should be illegal because all sex workers need to be saved from it" what about sex workers who do it by choice because they want to and they enjoy their job?
What about not painting an extremely complicated industry with one broad brush and causing more harm than the good you think you're doing by condemning it?
I was a camgirl. I met so many people in my industry, both patrons and providers, who benefitted hugely from it.
-phone sex for people who are lonely and have no one to share their thoughts and kinks and desires with and aren't comfortable in person, on camera, and can only express themselves this way?
-disabled people who have no other outlet due to physical or mental disabilities that limit them but they do have a sex drive and deserve to express themselves safely
- agoraphobic sex workers! A way to work from home and earn more than bare minimum?
Sex work for me? I was providing companionship, kindness, body positivity, support, and many other positive things to my patrons on top of sex related services and while I did burn out and I did have bad experiences I was blessed to be able to enter and exit the industry by choice.
Support sex workers. Listen to sex workers. And understand that not all patrons of sex work are 'bad' either, and are sometimes just people accessing an offered service and everything's consenting and mutually beneficial.
Yeah, sometimes it isn't. Yes, there are major issues. Yes, there is a lot of bad stuff, especially involving the rules around in person (full service) sex work. I am not saying any of that isn't true. But there are real people doing real work that isn't harmful as well, and it helps no one to demonize sex work as an entire industry.
