What are some of the ‘best’ criticisms against sex work, re: how it affects bonding, making sex not-sacred, damaging the psyche, etc.? If any of you have been lurking with critical comments lemme have em

to be specific, I'm not interested in criticisms of sex work in general (like how it's a short career), I want specifically criticisms around damaging relationship to sex or bonding

When friends are interested, I ask them if they're ok being raped. The answer is "JFC no."
Me: "OK then prostitution isn't for you."
I suspect I have a similar detachment to my body as you (don't get me wrong I love it) but sexual assault is just part of the work. It's rare.

But it happens. Mostly it's just kind of tiring. And don't get me wrong I love living in my body and all that, but it's just a body, and stealthing or groping or whatever, is just something a small percentage of people paying for sex do.

I've generally had more instances of sexual assault in recreational sex and dating but for people who aren't me that's - IDK - "more ok" ? Or they have different stories about it which changes how they relate to it. You probably get the idea.

Def't - Though "rape," "Sexual assault," etc. are wobbly terms - I'm also atypical and "gold star" re diagnosed, asperger's, and weird. So have probably put myself into some interesting situations, or failed to avoid them in ways others would. TLDR I may be atypical/an outlier.
