Why do (some) sex workers earn so much money? 1. It's unstable and unsystematized. A 'normal' profession like a doctor or lawyer has a path clearly laid out for you, with precisely defined hurdles you need to pass through. Sex work is mostly anarchy, with zero guarantees, 1/

there's a clear disdain and mockery for people who do sex work in a way that doesn't exist for other high-value professions. Sex workers sacrifice the blessing of society, the clear cultural path to romance and family and legal protection, for that higher income. 3/

Have you ever thought about the correlation to the stigmas women sex workers get to the stigma that women place on undesirable men for their natural desires to want sex?
