I have nothing against sex work or sex workers, but I do think it's inherently more degrading than most other jobs. We're talking about the industry that normalized selling used panties and bath water to lonely strangers online.
It's perceived as degrading due to the societal stigma that has been created against it. If it's between consenting adults, there is nothing degrading about it. Don't degrade people for any choice that is not harming another individual. We've created a prudish society where we look at anything sex adjacent as someone we shouldn't talk about in public.
Who is this degrading to exactly?
Everyone involved. But that's just my opinion.
From the customer point of view, I don't see how paying for sex if I can't have it in another way is any more degrading than buying instant meals all the time because my hypothetical cooking skills barely allow me to boil my own water without injuring myself.
Is it because sex is a sin for women, but something that must be earned for men? Is it because sex outside of the established order is bad? Is it because sex without love is degrading? What motivates you, consciously or not, to make such a value judgment over such an exchange?
