Most sex workers will tell you that their work involves more than just fucking. Regardless, it's difficult to speculate on what labor in general will look like a post-scarcity society. We nee to leave that to the material conditions and struggle, otherwise it feels really prescriptive imo
Caring labor is going to be a thing regardless of the world we live in, don't understand how a) people on this forum don't see sex work as a form of said caring labor and b) think we can evolve into a world where people won't have to do such caring labor.
