My opinion is that sex work should be legal. It would enable involuntary virgins to get a good sex experience for payment; they will be guaranteed a good sex experience with a sex worker: no harassment, good education, and a fun time.
Sex work gets shamed by
peoplepuritans because of payment for sex and it’s “sinful”; yet these samepersonspuritans get and have sex for free out of “passion” or marriage; they also discriminate against minorities in sec.EDIT: Apparently there is an implied difference between sex work and prostitution. I mean sex work.
I also found out that the USSR and all AES made prostitution illegal. (I personally disagree with criminalized prostitution; it could lead to victims getting harmed.)
(There should be an ask community…)
ML’s reject the term “sex work”, we prefer the term, people in the sex trade, to refer to the 99% of women and children trapped in the sex trade, or forced into the rape economy by economic coercion.

I don’t think your desire for the disabled to participate in sex without discrimination is at odds with Esperanza’s stance. While she forcibly rebukes the sex trade under capitalism, and rightly highlights the awful experiences most have under it rather than focusing on the “better” experiences of a much smaller group that “makes it big,” she also recognizes that sexual exchange itself predates the capitalist sex trade. I don’t think a socialist society would be without sexual exchange; it would be without the coercive capitalist sex trade.
