    Do you think it would be okay for a state to, for example, cut off social benefits for a person who can’t find any other job but refuses to do sex work?

      No, that would be wrong, but there is always some form of work out there that isnt sex work - it may not be pleasant or well paid though

        Do you really think sex work is pleasant?

        Most sex workers are from poor countries, many are single mothers who have to send money back home. Often times there is a pimp (or “boyfriend”) in the back who expects some kind of debt payments.

        How do you explain that about 95 % of sex workers are disenfranchised women from poor countries when it’s supposedly a pleasant job that makes a lot of money?

          That’s not at all what he said. He just said these hypothetical other jobs may not be pleasant or well paid. He never said - or implied - that sex work IS pleasant or well paid.

          Calm down, sparky.
