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…)

      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.
