Totally fine, work is work, you decide what you want to do with your life and if that fills the gap more power to you.

We need more regulation though, like Amsterdam where if you're working you have to get weekly check ups, and psychological counseling should be freely available.

Yes, as long as everyone involved is consenting. It needs to be destigmatized especially in healthcare settings.

The choice/situation blends in with every occupation so as long as no aggression or wrongful leverage is involved.

No I don’t approve sex work. Who am I? The sex work administration? Do you need a stamp from me to perform sex work? No?

Then who cares?

Like most people say here, if that's something you want to do that's all good so long as you're protected by law and workers' rights and all that jazz. Personally, though, I don't really understand it. I mean, why would anybody want to do this with all the risks (rape, diseases)? I'm open to receiving perspectives and education, currently I just don't really "get" it.

Regardless of the type of work, all workers deserve respect. Ya gotta eat.

Always a great question to ask software nerds. Great thread idea dude!
