I do feel bad for anyone stuck in a desperate situation. Some people might enjoy working in fast food, but I didn’t. I’ve never worked as a prostitute, but I cannot imagine being so desperate for money that I’d be willing to do that. I’m sure there are some prostitutes who enjoy their work, but there’s a big difference between cleaning the grease trap and… well, actually now that you mention it…
Preferred term is sex worker given the long and negative history of the word prostitute.
There’s a decent Louis Theroux doco covering a brothel. The staff aren’t desperate. It’s a form of work. Some enjoy it. Some find it a boring slog like most do the 9-5 office life. I can’t imagine doing sex work but then I can’t imagine working on an oil rig either.
Sex trafficking, homeless sex workers etc and all the horrible things that go with it are obviously a thing. But don’t project that extreme on all sex work.
I would imagine that would be less the case in places like Nevada that have legalized and regulated sex work.
Out of curiosity, do you feel the same way about people and other jobs? Like, do you feel as bad for the line cooks at McDonald’s?
