      Yes, but writing computer code is not the same as offering sex. One if a purely intellectual practice, the other is connected to our souls and will damage us inside.

      I think it’s great that sex workers get benefits, but let’s not kid ourselves that sex work is purely a normal job, like selling furniture or making cheese.

        Working in a business environment is connected to our souls and will damage us inside, it’s not different in kind, and if it’s different in intensity it is because of the lack of protection and the level of abuse which people get away with.

          Agree to disagree on this one. :) To me it’s so obvious it’s not the same that I’m surprised not everyone thinks so. But we are all different.

            Yes, of course it depends on the person, their ideas and feelings and beliefs about sex will have a big impact. But I want to be clear that I’m not arguing it’s not at all damaging, just that people really underestimate the way other jobs are damaging and the centuries of work that has gone into improving labour standards so that they are less bad.

            It seems obvious to me you lack the perspective and experience to make such a claim, no matter how much ayahuasca you’ve used.

            Let me guess, you also think that vaginas can get worn out, and that women should be subservient and submit to their owner husbands.

        True enough, selling your soul to Google to pay the bills might make.you reasses your life and becone a sex worker.

        My snark aside, your assertion is the most ridlcious ludicrous thing I’ve read this year and theres not much left to the year. Its that weird perspective that makes it different to what ? fisting a cow as a vetenerian or jacking off a horse to collect it’s semen ?

        I’m sorry, you count “selling furniture” or “making cheese” as normal jobs? Call me sheltered but I’ve gone over 30 years on this planet and never met anyone who’s done either lol.

          You’re sheltered. You’ve never been to a furniture store, or any department store with furniture? Nor been to a market with vendor reps, one being cheese?

          I mean, I thought I was sheltered, but I’ve been to Macy’s, consignment stores, and Goodwill. And just the other day I was at a holiday market where one of the stalls was a cheese company.

            I’ve actually worked in shops when I was younger, ones that sold furniture and cheese, which for someone as sheltered as me was shocking - took me about two days to recover!

            Jokes aside, I totally understand these jobs exist but what I meant was that the OP picked some weird jobs to support their backwards ass point.

        You don’t think writing code damages your soul? Have you met software developers?

        Devs are at the bottom of the list of Cosmo’s dateworthy by profession for a very good reason.

        I love this thread you created where you’re like “hooking is bad for you unlike software developing” and all these devs hop in like, “so is there a certificate program for sex work?”
