Arguably labour is intrinsically linked to the body providing the labour BUT selling does suggest handing over property on a more permanent basis. Would you be happier with SpaceNoodle saying they leased their body, given they committed to a set time period that their body could be used for their employer’s (lessor’s) purposes?

Would you be happier with SpaceNoodle saying they leased their body, given they committed to a set time period that their body could be used for their employer’s (lessor’s) purposes?

I would make the following recommendations, ordered as beginning with the most important:

  1. Avoid referring to sex work by selling one’s body.
  2. Avoid referring to sex work by leasing one’s body, or any similar variation of the same theme.
  3. Avoid referring to any work by any phrasal variation already proscribed for the case of sex work particularly.

To put it simply, just avoid the whole concept.

selling does suggest handing over property on a more permanent basis.

Selling is surrendering ownership through an exchange, usually exchange for currency.

Arguably labour is intrinsically linked to the body providing the labour

The statement is vacuous, almost entirely affirmed merely by the meanings of the terms, and lacking any substantive contribution.

Consider, for comparison, the following proposition:

Arguably air travel is intrinsically linked to the aircraft providing transport.
