Sex work is cool and all but it's also cool to be able to support your friends without it requiring them to give you pictures of their buttholes in exchange for money. I can't help but feel like this particular phenomenon is a product of a uniquely American capitalist hellscape and that maybe this sort of thing wouldn't need to be a normal occurrence in a semi-functioning society. What do you guys think?
I mean unless you're paying to see it, then it's transactional lol
I'm not saying it's a good thing so many people have to turn to sex work btw, I'm just saying this isnt a great take. Some people are really open about the sex work they're doing, doesn't make them your SO

I guess? Idk friendship occurs in a lot of places lol.
I don't think I would have a problem being a friend with someone I paid for sex, specifically if they are a sex worker and we are all on the same page there, but I have never paid for sex nor am I a sex worker so it's moot.
I don't see how it's necessarily a conflict of interests though.

Thats not the context though. The context is being friends with someone you know is a sex worker and you contacting them for that reason.

I mean that's sex work in a nutshell, so I'm not necessarily for it. Especially under capitalism.

Ehh, it doesn't seem unbelievable that some people would prefer selling nudes for extra cash over... I dunno, cleaning the bathrooms in a train station, or working in a daycare, or whatever other kinds of work might be available as part of a federal jobs guarantee program.
Survive, yes...just not as prolific when the only people who do it are people who specifically want to do it.
Most likely, yeah. I'm not arguing anything otherwise lol.
