Edit to add my opinion so I’m not just replying “I agree” to 90% of comments. I think it should be legal, properly regulated, taxed and viewed as a profession. I haven’t personally engaged in it but I have no moral objection to it. I do hate the common sentiment that it was the individual’s “only option” though.
Exactly how i feel too.
Every now and then there are headlines how some restaurant made their immigrant chefs work absurd work days with very little pay, or how some construction workers had been told they cant leave the site at all and they are made to live in shipping containers etc etc.
Prostitution has deep connection to human trafficing and using narcotics to controll the workers with addiction, so its not like every professional of love would magically be saved in an instant.
