The flaw in your argument is that the body isn’t a commodity. The woman’s time is the commodity you’re paying for. She’s consenting to a variety of predetermined activities for a set period of time for a price. Her body. Her time. Her choice.

Knowing a good few sex workers, I’m not presenting an idealised model. And at no point during a session is a sex worker obliged to continue if they choose to stop. You’re presenting a fetishised version of reality to promote an uninformed and puritanical view of sex work.

Sex work is challenging, in some countries it’s risky, it has a lot of seedy characters out to exploit - but most sex workers are in control of their work and do it by choice. Not by circumstance. The first step to dealing with it is to not judge it. There’s a lot of myths.

Did you read the paper? They took their interviews primarily from women on the streets, and several of the sources were explicitly from refuge sources; e.g., hospitals and drug rehabs. Also wouldn't most women in low-end jobs want out but can't leave?

sorry im coughing you think that escorts are a) a minority, b) disproportionately white, and c) disproportionately middle class? but *even still*, wanting to stop prostituting usually means there's no better option available; take it away from them and it's a downgrade.

I think you're coming from a different basis here. I'm a prostitute (who got into sex work because I was really poor) and I am *really angry* at the thought that someone wants to take away the right over my body to do what I see fit.

and I would fight very hard for a society where I am allowed to sell my body to a man. It's really infuriating that you want to take my choice away from me.
