Do you not see a difference between consensual sex, and commoditized sex which primarily preys upon the vulnerable?


I do, but I also think that people should be able to choose sex work without stigma, if that's what they want.


You'd need whole lot more prevention and education for that choice to be made. OF is full or barely legal teens who just see the "quick money printing" aspect of it but it obviously have a much broader impact, especially psychologically

It's no all black or white but let's not treat OF as the next best thing after running water, I wouldn't be surprised if it was, as many other websites (social medias cue), a net negative when you start looking at the broad/long term impact

As always with tech, what was once ok at a small scale doesn't necessarily stays ok when it becomes a world wide "1-click" away phenomenon accessible to virtually anyone over the age of 12 with half a brain


That may be, I admit I've never been on it. It's just a bit of a red flag to me when people stigmatize sex work, because sex workers have a hard enough time as it is.


Why? The entire industry preys upon the vulnerable. Customers and workers alike, with some exceptions of course.
