You’ve got it backwards. Lots of people who face addiction, homelessness, etc turn to sex work. It pays and sometimes that’s what ya gotta do to survive. I’d argue that consent is dodgy for anyone forced to do sex work to pay rent, but barring that, whatever gets struggling folks paid is good in my book.

An acquaintance of mine who’s been living out of her car for some time just got a refurbished laptop that she’s now using to polish up her resume and portfolio and get a stable job doing vfx. She paid for it using money she earned via sex work - which she’s not ashamed of at all, it’s just another skill she has that opened some other doors for her. She met a fantastic partner who she’s now living with. And now that she’s got a leg under her she’s getting sober too. I’m genuinely really proud of her.

Yeah it’s a good thing that drug addicts are forced into selling their bodies to support their habits. What a gross comment. I happen to think that’s bad.

I wouldn’t call undressing for gross perverts online a skill, but to each to their own. Glad to see she’s doing better but I’m not sure I would consider selling your body to buy a cheap laptop a success case quite yet. You can get enough money to buy a laptop in a couple weeks working at mcdonalds and you didn’t have to let creepy guys jack off to you in the process.

Yes, which is why I brought up consent. Obviously nobody should be forced into it. But I’m not gonna worry about it on behalf of people who clearly don’t hate it. I feel it’s better they have something yaknow?

She already had a cashier job during the day, whenever they’d give her hours. But it wasn’t enough to have much left over. Dunno why you’d assume guys jacking off to you is inherently more traumatic than any shitty food service job.
