IMO it’s fairly understandable for in-person sex work, it has to be fairly hard to navigate that business while avoiding abuse even if you start doing it out of your own free will. But online sex work removes a huge component of what makes in-person sex work so risky, i.e. the physical in-person interaction. IMO, forbidding that as well suggests that the lawmakers not only view sex work as dangerous, but also as immoral.
Yep.
They don’t talk on a practical, physical level, it’s a matter of power and social acceptance. Sweden refuse the idea of a gender who’s subordinate, which is right but creates some turbulences, as you pointed out.
It sounds to me like wanting to fix next year problems other then todays ones. Kinda a long time program.
It is not the physical danger, but the risk of people being manipulated, pressured, or straight up forced into doing it. That can certainly still happen with online content. It may not be the image you have of Onlyfans, but I can’t imagine it not happening to some degree.
Exploitation also happens with foreign workers in the farming and logistics industries though. So under the argument they are making, I recommend also closing the entire farming and logistics industries.
Definitely. It’s just a lot less likely.
Wasn’t there multiple popular porn formats where it turned out they were human trafficking rings and raped the women for millions of people to view?
