I understand that some of the criticism comes from conservatives but the sentiment seems to extend far beyond thst. Of course, I understand it when it’s forced or when someone only does it to survive against their will. But if people genuinely want to do it, why do people hate on them?
Sex work is work.If someone hates on a sex workers, me thinks they doth protest too much.
I don’t I love their work \s
Personally, I think influencer/hustle culture, parasocial relations, personal “brands” are a rot on society coming from the worst parts of capitalism. The influencer benefits from alienation and I think that’s wrong. I don’t think an OF model is any worse than any other influencer. I also think a lot of OF models didn’t feel they had many options when they started. But the really successful ones could get out or be less parasocial or something.
people think it’s easy money and get jealous
and people like that never realize just how much work actually goes into it (speaking from personal experience here)
This, it’s purely moralistic fart sniffing. That and folks who can’t control themselves and blame the performers for being too tempting.
Because it is cheapening your worth. You are saying that your body is about as valuable as getting someone off, who will cum in a minute. That is clear as day, what it is saying.
Cool, some coomer will save pics of your body for extensive jack off material. Do you want your legacy like that?
My legacy is a bunch of data on a server 🤷🏾♂️. My value lies in how good I am at putting it there. A job’s a job. If they like it and aren’t hurting anyone, I’m not judging.
I don’t like how it’s spammed around, otherwise I wouldn’t care about it.
ITT: misogyny
Sex workers face mortality rates from overdose that dwarf the general population. We’re talking about an external-cause mortality risk roughly 8-12 times higher for these marginalized groups. The direct link is undeniable: studies show a significant history of substance dependence (100% in one cohort) with opioids involved in ~90% of those fatal events. It’s crucial to note these are likely “conservative estimates” because many records don’t capture sex work status.

The driving factor isn’t the work itself, but the trauma surrounding it. You see a high burden of PTSD, anxiety, and depression that predates or coincides with substance use. For many, the drug use, especially “polysubstance” mixing of opioids and benzos, is a form of self-medication to numb the violence and stigma
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/acps.13559
The overdose is often a direct consequence of criminalization and policing. Research shows that when police target sex workers or create barriers to safe consumption sites, the odds of a fatal overdose more than double (AOR 2.15)
They don’t. Generally, nobody cares. The few that do are just so damn loud you’d think there was a lot of them.
Misogyny.
I don’t care for ads. They are basically living ads.
I only have a problem with sex work if people feel like they have to do it to make ends meet, or if they are being coerced into it. The latter being a big problem in the porn industry.
All work is done through coercition Some coercition are worst than other, but the all the worst one are not only in sex works. Fighting for emancipation is done by the workers themselves, not aqainst them
The first is a form of coercion as well.
I feel like I have to do my job to make ends meet - how is that different from sex work? Coercion is a different story
Fact is, we humans make quite surplus enough for everyone to make ends meet. Your job is a form of coercion, to make others money. That health care in the U.S. is tied to one’s job is evidence of that. That housing is dependent on mortgages being paid consistently or one risks homelessness is more evidence still. Taxes are coercion by governments to give credence to fiat currency, not because they need it to pay for goods and services… they could print money to pay for goods if that weren’t true. Point is jobs are coercion, and sex workers are under the same pressures I described above, enough that I doubt any sex worker is in it just for their love of the game.
We are not free. We are just able to choose from a limited selection of approved choices or face retribution, or maybe you can’t even get a choice and that is seen as a personal failing.
And thus… Sex work is no different to the others
and that’s why sex workers made their unions too
Then why so many sex workers die from drug overdose?
Why do so many people in other jobs die from a drug overdose? Because the world sucks

I agree with what you’ve said but I don’t consider these things as caused by the job, rather symptomatic of how the job is treated in society (and how poorly regulated human trafficking for sex work is)
Time to abolish anesthesiologists /s
I think they mean it’s their only option to make ends meet.
So you are saying some people want to do porn, and others don’t. Presumably because some like it and some don’t. They all do it for money though, none of them do it for free.
What’s the basis of knowing if someone does it because they like it then? Because they say so?
I mean that is the same basis for regular labor so yes because they said so
There are a lot ore conservatives in the world than you would believe if you live in a big city and/or a developed western nation.
I respect sex workers but I really don’t want to be advertised to while I’m jerking off, or ever really. Like if i’m in the market for buying nudes I’ll come to you. I have nothing against anyone who buys or sells pics on onlyfans.
how do find these people if they can’t market themselves? (honest question)
