I'm not against those who work for sex, but the idea to earn for a living doesn't seem nice. IMO, sex should be for 2 people (or more for others who prefer polyamory) who wants to be intimate/romantic with each other. My point is money should not be the purpose.

What's your profession and why do you presume there is more dignity in that over sex work?

See how quickly you resort to thinly-veiled insults?

If someone thinks sex work lacks dignity, they clearly have a weird puritanical fixation and they have a lot of growing up to do. Sex workers deserve workers' rights, same as any other profession.

See, he downvotes and moves on without looking up the Nordic model. You can take the redditor out of reddit, but you can't always take the reddit out of the redditor.

You clearly don't even have the attention span to understand what the Nordic Model is lol.
