  • It wouldn’t really be “sex work” if they weren’t doing it in exchange for something would it?
    Yes, we have currency as a placeholder for trading goods directly but people who perform sex acts for other goods like drugs are just as stigmatized and no currency was involved.
    And if people are just having sex with a fun of it then it’s not sex work either, it’s just sex, which is less stigmatized now then it was 30 years ago but it still has a stigma attached to it, otherwise slurs like “skank” and “slut” wouldn’t exist.

    And every capitalist country slowly removes these benefits until major uprisings.

    We figured out a long time ago that there’s only two things people need in order to keep them happy:
    Bread and Circuses.
    As long as people have food on their table and a source of entertainment you can take everything else away and they’ll be content enough to not revolt.
    But it’s important to not take everything else away at once either, that’s why they chisel away at them until only those two are left.
