I have done sex work occasionally and it actually is work. A surprising amount of time is spent on advertising, communication with flaky clients, making sure you actually get paid your promised share, etc. The industry is also full of exploitation, abuse, mental illness, addiction, and everything that comes with it.
Finding a well paying niche requires actual effort. Competition is fierce.
Agreed 100%. If it wasn’t clear, I was posting from the perspective of the 4channer as if they tried sex work, where they discover it is actually a lot more involved than they thought.
I like how you got a bunch of DVs simply for not wanting to be a sex worker, as if everyone has to want to be a prostitute or else.
What if they just love being an electrician? Being an electrician may not be preferred by prostitutes, why just assume electricians would prefer to prostitute? If “sex work is work” means it’s just a job then it’ll be right for some and not for others, just like every other job ever.
What if they’re asexual? Not everyone has to by hyper- or even “normal”-sexual, some people don’t want it at all and that’s fine. While sex work may be “work” it is also “sex” and therefore I could see an ace not wanting to be employed in this manner. Hell what if they’re Demi-? I know that wanting an emotional attachment before physical contact is anathema to some to the degree where if you say that’s you without using the word demisexual you may get unslut shamed, but some people do require it and that is ok too.
Or what if they are hypersexual and don’t want to monetize their hobby and turn it into a job they hate? That’s perfectly reasonable, just because I enjoy bike riding doesn’t mean I want to be a bike messenger and take all the joy out of it. As funny as that is and it’s kinda a joke, I’m sure that is actually true for someone out there.
Well anyway, I’m done shitting at work so I have to get out of these comments now. (Another thing, prostitutes can shit on the clock while they browse lemmy, but it’s different when they do it, for me it’s slacking off, for them it’s just another rough day at the office.)
As if OP wouldn’t do that if he could.

I appreciate this elaborate work. Time well spent.
I wouldn’t

Well yeah, you’re not OP.
Coward.
