On one hand chapos are very horny on main and very sex positive despite not having it, but on the other hand the volcel police send horny chapos off to horny jail and porn is exploitive.

    Is criminalizing it going to reducing trafficking? Doesn't criminalizing make conditions worse?

    Why not advocate unionizing/some other form of building worker control?

    Do you trust a capitalist government to handle criminalizing sex work in a positive way?

      Criminalizing the drug trade made people not get harmed by the drug trade I don’t know if you knew that.

      The short answer is you basically cannot completely eliminate the sex industry under capitalism.

      Efforts for unionization won't eliminate sexual violence, especially considering many male sex workers are perpetrators of violence themselves and there is a financial incentive to overlook these things.

      I think there is a contradiction where criminalizing sex work (even if it's just criminalizing the customer) does lead to overall worse conditions, but legalizing leads to more exploitation and violence. Kind of a catch 22.

        Why would legalizing make the problem worse? The more above ground something is, the harder it is to use the law as leverage against workers

          If I could but in the solution offered in the podcasts I listed wasn't to legalize but to decriminalize. Legalize would mean that only a few people could afford the permits necessary and sex workers usually don't have that kind of money. I don't know if they heading down this route.
