"It's just a job like any other! Ever heard of coal miners?! Know how many of them get lung cancer?!"

This isn't the gotcha Cool Girl libfems and men think it is. If we obtained that oh so sought after regulation of the industry, it would have to meet OSHA standards. Let's not forget that diseases like herpes and HPV can still spread, even with condom use, and even with no active infection. Did you know that the johns at the Bunny Ranch out in NV don't have to be tested before being serviced? Only the women. Taking this into account, a woman would need to wait a minimum of 2 weeks before servicing her next customer. What a giant risk for bad sex and $200-$1k once every two weeks. Those are the prices for the bunnies. Let's say you're in the midrange of that, so $600/mo, keeping in mind our two week wait period. We won't include taxes in this example because you're only making $7,200/YEAR. Do you think that more saturation would make prices rise if we had wide scale legalization? Capitalism says likely not. If UBI became a thing, then you maybe could convince me that there are women there by choice and not being pressured by a man or any other factors.

"There aren't men in it because there isn't any demand! It's totally not because of sexism."

You sure about that? The orgasm gap clearly states heterosexual women experience the least orgasms. A business savvy individual could see that there are many women desperate for pleasure and close that gap. Besides, we all know how much men love sex and all they need is a 30 minute class on how to find the g spot with their fingers and dicks, and... all the other stuff. It's just a job anyways. We also know that once traditionally female tasks become profitable, men promptly take over. Quick! Who's the most famous cook you know? Gordon Ramsey is who immediately comes to my mind.

"It's really not a bad gig. You set your own hours, no boss, lots of money.."

Mia Kalifa ranked number one in the world in her 3 month stint in porn, and #2 two years after leaving the industry. I think it's important to point out that she became famous because her and her husband were posting sexual photos on gonewild subpreddits. My gut tells me she was pressured into this by her husband. She admitted to only making 12k despite being so famous. She wanted to be a sports announcer, but gets incredibly upset any time someone brings up her past. The very thing that made her famous is what she denounces. Only Fans has been exposed as a pyramid scheme and reports say most barely make $200/mo. "But that just means they need more protections so they can be paid better!" How much do you think an industry that's oversaturated such as this is really willing to pay when most porn is given away for free? Even if you make it to the top, the income is not on par with traditional actresses.

"If we just removed the stigma, it wouldn't be so bad! Mia wouldn't have been so upset at people bringing it up! Women are just prudes!"

With hook up culture and women being as free as ever sexually, where are the business savants recruiting the men for the reasons listed above? Where are the professional men and women quitting their jobs because they really do love sex that much and it's so fun and they'd rather be doing that instead of their boring office job - money aside? There are countless examples of highly paid corporate workers leaving their jobs to pursue their passions and even take a pay cut, but somehow none of them make it to prostitution.

Where exactly is prostitution empowering - financially or emotionally?
