    And there are people that will voluntarily provide sex as a service with all their needs otherwise met?

      I don’t see why not. “Sex therapy” is a relatively niche field at the moment. They have strict boundaries with the clients and only have sex under certain circumstances. Some people also just really like sex but don’t want the relationship. It’s like a one night stand, but your name and personal ‘brand’ is known. I imagine dominatrixes will still be popular post-capitalism (even if they’re not strictly related to intercourse)
