I’ve seen the videos of factory workers in some non-western nations where people mix caustic chemicals with their hands or feet. That’s still safer work than sex work, where you run the risk of getting a communicable disease, or pregnant. Getting a STD is not the same as getting cancer from bad work environments in a factory because communicable diseases SPREAD. If your daily work requires exposure, then all you’re doing is being a disease vector, and I am guessing your work and pay will decrease as well, even if you’re fucking people who also have STDs. There’s a lot more to say here, but do everyone who you talk to about this a favor, and argue it out with a chatbot before bringing it online.

Let’s talk about getting pregnant now. First, children are not accessories or extension of yourself. They deserve a safe and healthy environment to grow, ideally with two parents to add a counterbalance when one is not someone you can like or trust. Even if sex work is legalized and normalized, you run the risk of creating an unsafe environment for your child if your work follows you home, and begins to stalk and harass you. Too many people have gotten killed, mostly women, because they jilted someone. That’s not even bringing up the fact that someone might want to rear the child with you, and what if that’s not what you want because you’re already in a relationship.

So you get abortions. The human body can take only so much physical trauma from invasive surgical interventions before your immune system starts degrading. Abortions are not an endless solution to getting pregnant, and contraceptions are not 100% child-proof, including vasectomies. Again, lots more to say here but I encourage reading instead. One is more likely to take to an if they find it themselves rather than someone telling them.

I’ll say one final thing about the body though. The holes used for sex, minus the mouth, degrade each time they’re used. If someone is a sex working, they’ll have to factor in the depreciation of that physical material into the cost of their services. That’s not currently done because sex working is relatively rare, and there’s fast turnaround in workers because natural aging is also a factor. Basically, if there’s lots of competition your holes are not that valuable, and they’ll degrade each time they’re used.

Factory work doesn’t give you communicable diseases, or run the risk of pregnancy.
