    We’re all being used every day. There’s no difference when it’s sex.

    Dude, I worked in an office job for more than 10 years. I didnt feel used. I didnt feel like my self esteem was compromised. I didnt feel like I had to give up my dignity for pay. Never once did anyone ask me to take off my clothes and insert X object into one of my holes so they could watch me and jerk off.

    You have a very warped idea of what a regular job is like compared to sex work, but ok go ahead and convince yourself that they’re exactly the same. Dear god.

      Cool. You’re in the same boat as a lot of sex workers then! However, you were used. It’s called human resources because they see us as resources to use. You can not feel used doing your work, and the same goes for all work, but if you’re doing it because you have to to survive then you are being used. You’re a whore for money. You just might be doing other acts than sex, but there’s nothing more honorable about it.

      Never once did anyone ask me to take off my clothes and insert X object into one of my holes so they could watch me and jerk off.

      What is your problem? Is that the only way you can lose dignity in your opinion? It should be doing some you find demeaning, which is an opinion. I think people who are sycophants for people like Musk, Bezos, Trump, etc. are much less respectable than people doing sex work. We’re all whores though. They wave cash in front of our faces and we beg them for it.

      You have a very warped idea of what a regular job is like compared to sex work…

      No, you have a very warped idea of what sex work is. Legal sex work the workers choose their partners and get to say no to anyone or anything they want. Sure, they’ll make more money for doing certain acts, just like any other job. They aren’t the same. Just like a construction worker isn’t the same as a software engineer. They aren’t worse though. You look down on them, but you haven’t given a reason for what makes it worse inherently.

          You can do things only for what it achieves, but if you’ve done anything you don’t want to for money, that’s literally a whore, by definition. (This isn’t saying something bad about you. It’s about all of us. I don’t look down on us.) I wish we could choose to persue our passions without needing to work for money to survive. That’s not an option for most people though.

          It’s called wage slavery, where you need your wage to survive, so you can’t just say no to it. If this doesn’t apply to you then great! I’m happy for you. If it does though, then welcome to the party. We all do what we have to to survive. I don’t look down on anyone for it. I don’t have the issue. You do, because you think your better than other workers.

          Do you think you’d help people in a different way if you had the resources to, or do you think you’d still do the exact same thing if you didn’t have to think about money? Would you choose anything different in your life if money weren’t part of it?
