Well if we as a society have indeed reached a point where sex work is considered a legitimate, lucrative, and acceptable career choice then I have often wondered why there is such a desire to sanitise it’s title, ie “sex work”, or “adult entertainment industry”. For example person 1.
”What do you do for a living?”
”I work in the Construction Industry”.
”Really what do you do exactly?”
”Well I put bricks in line, apply cement to create the structure of a building which people will go on to live in. For money.”
”Oh you‘re a bricklayer”.
Person 2
“What do you do for a living?”
”I work in the adult entertainment industry”.
”Of really! Wow what do you do?”
”I strip, masturbate and have sex on camera, often with strangers. For money”.
”Oh you’re a prostitute”.
Where will it end I say.
Person 3
”What do you for a living”?
”I work in the removal and redistribution industry”.
”Wow. Sounds interesting. What do yo do”?
”I informally enter premises, often when empty, and remove objects, which I then sell onwards in pubs and clubs, or via agents, at much reduced prices. For money.”
”Ah I see so you are actually a thieving bastard”.
