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…)

    Hello, thank you for the information. I knew that there were prostitutes that were sex slaves but I guess the ratio of free/not free wasn’t so severe in my head. I definitely would never suggest people in such a position weren’t be raped, I meant people who do it of their own accord, but if this is a relatively small portion of total sex workers then I have been misjudging the proportions.
