A common sentiment, which I usually assume comes from ppl privileged enough to have other life choices better than sex work. I don't regret doing sex work and consider it to be one of the best things that ever happened to me, but I def first got into it out of desperation. twitter.com/MarmotRespecte

Sex work is soooo heavily stigmatized that many people who get into it only do it as a last resort. I don't think it *should* be stigmatized, and the actual experience of doing it was way better than the stigma suggested, but it definitely serves as a strong gateway filter.

sex workers would probably be more interesting to talk to than a lot of people, and they’re almost certainly more informed than the average person too.

Your personal observation that stigma disincentives people from engaging in an activity should be applied to your support for child porn. Once you lift the stigma, the activity goes up.

My observation is that you are not typical in some ways. Do you think the stigma might do more good than harm if it discourages people (especially women) who would NOT have a good experience from it?

OF and similar platforms have liberated thousands of women. being poor is hard and your alternatives are to spend years training for some position (possibly with debt) or have a lucky social connection. much quicker and easier to supply the eternally hungry male libido with porn
