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 people puritans because of payment for sex and it’s “sinful”; yet these same persons puritans 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…)

    If you live under Capitalism you need to legalize prostitution because otherwise you are taking people under totally worst conditions that you can’t control, abolishing makes sense if you have the basis under which you can truly improve their lives and create a society where there is no need for something like that in the market.

        Well, another term used by feminists on the subject is survival sex, so yeah, it makes sense. I don’t think it is only a matter of being in ownership of you house, though, there are a lot of other factors which are as complicated, but if you don’t accompany it with policies that improve material conditions you aren’t doing much, that’s true.
