Sex work does not contribute anything to society other than creepy men getting their fix.
That's not even remotely true.
Have you ever actually spoken to a sex worker before?
They primarily sell intimacy.
People are able to tell and be things around sex workers that they can't be in their daily lives.
In one of your other posts, you said that sex shouldn't be commodified. Well, we live in a society where EVERYTHING is commodified while simultaneously alienating people to perform their peak consumption.
Sex isn't holy. It's a need that we all have, like water, food, and oxygen. When you make it so that people who are bad at getting it can't get it at all, you make a population of stressed out, deprived, and desperate people.
Sex workers bring so much more to the table than being a cum dump. A good sex worker gives you a safe place to be yourself and meet your base, primal needs. That's not just valuable, that's invaluable.
You don't need sex. You sound like an incel with that kind of rhetoric. You can survive 100% fine without sex, but you can't without water, food and oxygen. I seriously hope you aren't that stupid.
Ah silly me, I forgot that humans reproduce asexually and we can just survive even if noone has sex and doesn't waste their time giving birth to these useless babies that noone needs.
I also forgot that everything in this world must be suffering and small release of dopamine from sex once in a while isn't something anyone needs, we're just machines that do nothing but work all day then go home to refuel outselves and fix our limbs at rest so we can work hard the next day, noone needs anything more... Only incels need more than food, water and oxygen.
You'd make a good manager in a soulless company.
