I agree sex work is far too broad a term. Taking solo pictures and putting them online for some onlyfans cash is completely different to physically allowing someone to put themselves inside you. Lumping the two together is wrong.
I think Sex Work was meant to a broader term to encompass everything from prostitution to OnlyFans. But maybe what is actually needed is to separate the two, with sexual work and prostitution as two completely different things, at least if it is firmly established that prostitution = rape in all cases.
The thing is that it's probably not in all cases. The issue is that distinguishing between the cases that are and are not feels extremely difficult while under capitalism.
It's made harder by the fact that people inside the industry are unreliable in their responses, as anyone who has fully exited the industry will tell you that their responses while in it would have been completely different to their responses years later looking back on themselves.
Because someone taking some pictures of their butthole and posting them on onlyfans does not involve penetration, therefore it is not rape.
There is no inconsistency here. The vast vast majority of onlyfans content is a bunch of people posting their buttholes or their feet and does not involve any actual sex.
I thought it was clear that this is the separation I was referring to, obviously not, I apologise for not making it clearer.
