Edit to add my opinion so I’m not just replying “I agree” to 90% of comments. I think it should be legal, properly regulated, taxed and viewed as a profession. I haven’t personally engaged in it but I have no moral objection to it. I do hate the common sentiment that it was the individual’s “only option” though.
How many different professions does that apply to, though? If I had a choice, I wouldn’t be working my current job, and most of the sex workers I’ve known were doing it for the same reason. Not a whole lot of people get to choose their jobs
