Edit to add my opinion so I’m not just replying “I agree” to 90% of comments. I think it should be legal, properly regulated, taxed and viewed as a profession. I haven’t personally engaged in it but I have no moral objection to it. I do hate the common sentiment that it was the individual’s “only option” though.
Yeah, from the sort of cold, heartless, detached, and incredibly oversimplifying level that those sorts of governmental decisions happen at… selling sex is one of the few things just about anyone can technically do. It’s also the kind of thing that it would be hard to prove doesn’t have effectively infinite demand.
I can totally see bureaucrats going: “You’ve got working holes, go get to it.”
Let me say again, that’s a horrid oversimplification of reality, but one that I can easily imagine coming out of government organizations.
