“They’re quick to hop on porn platforms the moment they turn 18, even when the majority of them don’t need to do it to survive. The idea that sex work is empowerment is being forced, despite it still being mainly made for and consumed by men.”

“On the one hand, I get it. If you’re an attractive 18-year-old woman, I could imagine how hard it would be to turn down easy money that requires no employable skills. I don’t blame them because what are legitimate options at that age? Especially if you’re struggling to pay for college. Seems like now, more than ever, the first rungs on the ladder are paywalled.

Having said that, it still freaks me out a bit. Not because a woman’s pictures are out on the internet, or even that she might have slept with people for pay. What gets me with all forms of sex work is I can never shake the worry that she’s spent so much time in a world where affection is bought and sold. I just don’t know how you spend any time with that mindset, and not have it affect real relationships.”
