(19,497 posts)Me too ... with the caveat being I feel this way about commercial porn. Sometimes couples like to have their own thing for spice.
But commercialized sex work is pure objectification. I'm not sure laws are the answer. I think empowerment and equal opportunity will make far more progress. But then there is a contingent that actively pursues sex work.
I have a friend from college will tell you straight up that she can make hundreds of dollars a night simply by dancing a few hours. She's smart and educated but the money is more than she'd make in the top of her field The easy money is a lure and that cannot be dismissed with a wave of the hand.
Should it be quashed altogether or do we recognize "the human condition" and provide regulated outlets for those who will always pay to objectify and those who are willing to take their money?
I really don't sense a comfortable answer either way.
