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.

It's actually infuriating that you want to maintain this obviously abusive and unnecessary industry because you get something out of playing around in it. Public policy has loftier goals than just maintaining your right to have fun while women are exploited worldwide.

Yeah other people telling me the sex work I got into because I had few other options is "playing around" is where I'm out. It's not fun, it's work. I don't do it for fucking fun. Sex work saved me from a worse life. Maybe you're too privileged to understand that.
