I’m pretty suffering comes more from social stigma around sex and policies implemented around it creating gray spaces that people use to harm them.
Example: SESTA FOSTA lead to bans on social media centered around sex workers so their jobs became less safe without networks of people who can distribute warnings about violent johns or track down missing persons.
Would you enjoy doing sex work? Would you enjoy having sex with men that you were not attracted to, and needing to pretend that you enjoyed it? How do you think it would affect your relationship with your body? Put all of the legal stipulations you want for safety, etc, in this scenario. Do you think you wouldn’t experience harm to your mental health?
How would you measure mental health harm? Suicide rate by job?
Intimate jobs like dentists, doctors and vets have high suicide rates. Jobs that stress people’s bodies like construction workers and farm workers have high suicide rates. Jobs with exposure to violence like police and military have high suicide rates. Jobs with high chemical exposure rates like chemists and manufacturing. These kind of jobs have risks. Sex workers tend to deal with the first three.
Should we start banning jobs based on mental health outcomes? Or should we just make sure whatever jobs people have they are treated with respect and recieve the healthcare they need to function. What we should be doing is making sure such jobs are conducted as safely as possible for everyone involved.
The supposed “concern” about sex workers mental health without concern for similarly mentally stressful jobs is usually a sign somebody is actually operating from a bad faith position about how sex work is “icky”.
Nice assumption. Obviously I’m coming at this from a puritanical point of view. Absolutely none of this has anything to do with the research I shared, or my own experience of survival sex work. I must be a prude.
I think construction workers, farm workers, and dentists are all, yah know, necessary professions. We have to eat, we have to have places to live, we have to have teeth… There’s no need for sex workers. Ideally, we’d have UBI and the profession wouldn’t even exist. I’m not sure saddling someone with lifelong trauma so someone can get an orgasm is quite the same thing.
It’s funny how many “leftist” men lose their leftism the second the suggestion that se. work is inherently exploitative and harmful…
You didn’t answer my question either. You willing to suck a dick for $20?
This reminds me of how white collar office workers bemoan to physical labourers how “at least you get to be outside, it’s just so soul crushing to be in a cubicle you know” lol
What kind of well taken care of prostitutes are you getting? I’ve only talked to one my entire life and she was offering pussy for $20 as I was yelling at her to get out of my car because I was picking someone up as an Uber.
They provide sex for people that want it.
Which is good for mental and emotional health
Not speaking of the sex worker mental health buddy. It’s good for societies. See Europe.
So you are okay with an underclass of people suffering because you think it might be good for society?

Not sure about their own mental and emotional health though
The same could be said for working in retail.
Somehow I don’t think it’s quite on the same level
No indeed.
Sex workers are at least allowed to decline customers.
This reminds me of how white collar office workers bemoan to physical labourers how “at least you get to be outside, it’s just so soul crushing to be in a cubicle you know” lol
Lets be honest that will change when the stigma is removed.
If it was removed
I mean I do that too
And roughly where are you located?
At my house bro
Whoa! I’m at my house! Are you me???
There’s no way to know for sure.
Don’t most people provide a service in return for a payment
Yes, that’s good for society and the economy.

Do people need to do things out of their own kindness for it to be valuable?
I am great at my job. I don’t do it for free or out of the kindness of my heart.

you bring too dumb to use the correct there/their/they’re is just perfect. It puts that extra zing to how dumb you make yourself look.

They’re not making fun of you for having a different belief, but for having a stupid belief.
