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?
Trading sexual favors for basic qualify of life conditions is bad, for the same reason any imposition of labor demand in a country with our level of surplus is bad.
One could argue it is worse, due to the social stigma attached. But removing the stigma from sex work is meaningless unless you improve the material conditions of all workers.
