      "our job is literally to get off our asses, meet people, and connect with them on a very personal level. But no, apparently we’re the ones who are alienated from love and affection."

        Implying that the existence of sex work somehow eliminates or cheapens individual romantic and sexual relationships is regressive and not based in reality.

        They're two very different things. While session-based, sex work requires the ability to make personal connections. This isn't the gotcha it seems like you think it is.
