Yep. There is definitely a strong market for it. And i firmly believe it alleviates tensions enough to prevent a lot of assaults
If only there were some way to judge if the pornographization of society had led to more assaults and trafficking 🤔
Very cool to steal the arguments pedophiles use to justify what's on their hard drives.
Yes. I am a libertarian.

I think whether anyone approves of it or not is really irrelevant. People have bought and sold sex for thousands of years and will continue to do so.
The only questions is whether you think the sex trade should be illegal or stigmatised. My personal opinion is that criminalising sex work is a fools errand and that it's no ones business if two consenting adults want to trade money for sex.
It have side effects on the people who do it: yes, I don't give a flying fuck about it: yes
it should be decriminalized and it shouldn't be financially compulsory for the desperate
The purpose of sex should be defined by the participants, not by third parties. Government (public, third party) interest in the private act should be limited to protecting the participants from fraud, undue influence, unexpected diseases, unexpected pregnancies, violence... Basically, so long as everyone involved in the act is aware and freely agrees to the purpose, the actual purpose is functionally irrelevant.
Sex work is work.
I can see regulations against establishing an employer/employee working relationship, and instead mandating a private contractor relationship: an employee can disciplined or fired for failure to perform, or for refusing to serve the employer's customers; a contractor can pick and choose their own clients.
The right of assembly; the freedom of association should broadly protect mutually consensual activities.
