Yo... You think people never thought about selling sex before this was posted on Lemmy?

This is like giving people the idea of the wheel. I'd be willing to bet that human beings bartered for sex before they bartered for food or water.

... human beings bartered for sex

I think you mean men bartered for sex before food or water.

Women are smart enough to put their lives before sex.

This is some of the dumbest shit I've read in a while.

Doing porn is a permanent stain on your reputation. I hate seeing young girls turn to it because of the easy money to be made. For every girl that has success on only fans is 50 girls who will have their nudes circulate the internet for eternity for a measly 100$.

It's only a permanent stain to people who care.

The people who make a big deal out of it are the ones that should be ashamed.

And a lot of people care. So it does matter.

I mean with this logic:

You know a lot of people were okay with slavery......

Just to be clear I'm pointing out that morality is not something that humanity votes on. Because humanity voted okay on slavery.

When was slavery voted upon?

I don't see anything about a vote in that link

Well, imagine each slave ship filled with about 500 votes.

what? It's okay to admit that you were wrong.

What do you mean? Wrong about that many many humans thought slavery was okay by voting with their wallets

You are all over the place

Have you never heard the term "vote with your wallets" before? I feel like a broken record so maybe I'll just let this one go.

Voting with your wallet is something you do everyday it is not something you do on November 4th.

Barring any of the other context here, you need to back up and think about why you think it's so awful for a nude picture to exist.

Are you helping or are you pushing your own moral code onto those who may not share it?

I'm giving my opinion. If nudes are so harmless, why is revenge porn such a big deal? The answer is because once your nudes are public, you are no longer in control. Any man can see your most intimate moment and do with it how they please, and you can do nothing to stop it. Your child will have to grow up knowing there are videos of your mom shoving a cucumber up her butt for a months rent.

And what’s wrong with that? I have a cucumber in my ass right now. So what?

I don't think it's healthy for a child to have their friends show them pictures of their mother in intimate situations.

I don’t think it’s healthy for you to worry so much about what other people do with their bodies.

You know that society is a big system right? Things other people do can have an indirect affect on me and my family. If everyone in my town smoked crack, I would get the fuck out of there, I wouldn't gaslight people into thinking its "wrong to care about what other people do with their bodies".

You’re just prudish and ashamed of sex. Other people are not. Your aversion and lack of openness about sexuality is not anyone else’s problem other than your own.

I think sex is better off behind closed doors. Sex is extremely important to human relationships and I feel like making exposure to sex abundant hinders relationships. There's a reason most porn stars/sex workers end up depressed and addicted to drugs.

Okey dokey, you do you. I prefer fucking in the park in broad daylight. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. It’s just human bodies having sex.

You can believe whatever you like but your magical thinking doesn’t make what you believe true.

Then you're a pervert. Stay away from kids please. Sex should not be something you non-consensually share with other people, like fucking in a public park. I kind of don't care what a sick pervert has to say on this topic.

You've got it backwards. Lots of people who face addiction, homelessness, etc turn to sex work. It pays and sometimes that's what ya gotta do to survive. I'd argue that consent is dodgy for anyone forced to do sex work to pay rent, but barring that, whatever gets struggling folks paid is good in my book.

An acquaintance of mine who's been living out of her car for some time just got a refurbished laptop that she's now using to polish up her resume and portfolio and get a stable job doing vfx. She paid for it using money she earned via sex work - which she's not ashamed of at all, it's just another skill she has that opened some other doors for her. She met a fantastic partner who she's now living with. And now that she's got a leg under her she's getting sober too. I'm genuinely really proud of her.

whatever gets struggling folks paid is good in my book.

Yeah it's a good thing that drug addicts are forced into selling their bodies to support their habits. What a gross comment. I happen to think that's bad.

it’s just another skill she has that opened some other doors for her

I wouldn't call undressing for gross perverts online a skill, but to each to their own. Glad to see she's doing better but I'm not sure I would consider selling your body to buy a cheap laptop a success case quite yet. You can get enough money to buy a laptop in a couple weeks working at mcdonalds and you didn't have to let creepy guys jack off to you in the process.

What a gross comment. I happen to think that's bad.

Yes, which is why I brought up consent. Obviously nobody should be forced into it. But I'm not gonna worry about it on behalf of people who clearly don't hate it. I feel it's better they have something yaknow?

You can get enough money to buy a laptop in a couple weeks working at mcdonalds and you didn't have to let creepy guys jack off to you in the process.

She already had a cashier job during the day, whenever they'd give her hours. But it wasn't enough to have much left over. Dunno why you'd assume guys jacking off to you is inherently more traumatic than any shitty food service job.
