The escorts I’ve spoken with enjoy the work itself Like I said, I’m sure there are people who enjoy this, but the system is still exploitative and harmful. What you’re saying about the horrors of pornography and prostitution apply to ALL people that need to work for a living … Yes. In an ideal world, people won’t have to do any dangerous or difficult jobs. But for now, we can’t start with the worst offenders.

I think there are no worst offenders here, all labor is valid as in all labor is exploitative in a capitalist system Dignity is very relative here, I think you can be a sex worker and keep your dignity

No, you misunderstand: ALL labor under capitalism is exploitative. ‘Dangerous’ and ‘difficult’ has nothing to do with it. The system is set up so that your labor must be used for the benefit of someone else in order to obtain the bare necessities of survival, and you don’t get the full value of your labor. It doesn’t matter if that’s working in an office doing spreadsheets all day, or as a sex work; ALL labor is exploited under capitalism. Work is work; sex workers are workers.
