Decriminalization could absolutely make it safer in certain ways, but it doesn’t magically eliminate the social attitudes that contribute to sexual entitlement, objectification, boundary violations, and exploitation within the industry. A person isn’t suddenly going to develop respect for a sex worker’s boundaries just because the transaction is legal.

Decriminalizing something can change the legal circumstances surrounding it, but it doesn’t automatically change the mentality surrounding it.

It’s not just physical health or physical safety. Sex work and the porn industry also perpetuate harmful social attitudes that affect people who aren’t choosing to participate in it at all. It contributes to sexual entitlement, the objectification of sex workers, women, and entire demographics or professions, boundary violations, and exploitation. I literally cannot tell someone I’m a teacher on here without someone telling me about their fantasy of fucking a teacher.

Sex work is one of the oldest professions as long as there has been pussy there has been sex work. The social attitudes you are referring to are from pornography itself as well as misogyny and the disrespect directed towards women. To blame SW for that inherently when it’s not the one to blame inherently is just misplaced.

Just because something has existed for thousands of years doesn’t inherently make it okay or beyond criticism. And pornography, misogyny, and the sex industry are not these completely separate things that we can neatly compartmentalize. They go hand in hand. They reinforce each other. And I’m not blaming sex workers as a monolith. I’m criticizing the industry, the people who perpetuate it, and the people who actively participate in and reinforce the harmful attitudes that come with it.

There are people who engage with these things who absolutely contribute to the problems I’m talking about. If you actually detach yourself from the topic for a second and read what I said, you’d see that I’m talking about the bigger picture and the societal consequences. I’m not individually blaming every person involved, but people who participate in and perpetuate these things do contribute to those problems, and that’s just facts.

When the conversation gets difficult, you’re just going to run away with “agree to disagree.” That’s such a cop-out. You don’t get to dismiss the entire conversation just because you don’t want to engage with the uncomfortable parts of what I’m saying.

I’m not uncomfortable at all I just don’t care to continue. I don’t have the facts studies or intellect needed to refute ur points with 100% integrity. I believe what I believe and you do too so that’s fine

Anonymous beestboy 16h

Then why did you engage in the first place? If you’re admitting that you don’t have the research, facts, or knowledge to actually respond to my points with integrity, why are you arguing against them to begin with? You can’t spend all of this time telling me I’m wrong and then, once you can’t substantiate your own position, suddenly say you just don’t care to continue. You clearly care enough to keep responding, so let’s not pretend you’re above the conversation now.

is being against the glamorization of sex work.... bad? is encouraging women to have avenues of making money (degrees & stable careers) that arent dependent on (usually) men, bad?

I would not recommend that someone do sex work right now given the state of the industry & how common it is for it to be dangerous. that said, sex work is not inherently dangerous nor demeaning, and there are safe(r) ways to do it

Sexuality is one of the few true powers/influences women hold over men in a patriarchal society, so I think it’s dangerous to over-police / demonize it

“Women are making the content themselves” does not mean women suddenly control the industry or the systems surrounding it. OnlyFans itself takes 20% of creators’ earnings, and the company is not female-owned. While some women might have the autonomy to engage with platforms like this, that doesn’t mean men have somehow been removed from benefiting from the ownership, profit, or power structures surrounding sexual content. That’s just not true.

I think you’re conflating sexual autonomy with being supportive of the sex industry. Being sex-positive and believing people should have autonomy over their own bodies does not mean you have to believe every industry built around sex is inherently good or beyond criticism. I can support someone’s right to make their own sexual choices while still criticizing an industry for exploitation, objectification, and the ways it reinforces harmful stereotypes.

I think you need to learn more about the modern sex industry before preaching to people about it..?. 👀 Like obviously, no one supports the entire industry and why would you think I’m saying the entire industry is beyond criticism ? You’re focusing on the example, not the point so I don’t see much point elaborating.

I’m not sure what utopia you think the modern sex industry exists in, but that is not the reality of the industry I’m talking about. I’m fully aware that it’s not one monolithic thing and that there are people who participate in it willingly and have positive experiences. That does not erase the exploitation, objectification, and harmful stereotypes that also exist within it.

If you disagree with the specific criticisms I made, address those instead of telling me I need to ‘learn more’ about an industry I’m clearly discussing beyond the surface level.
