Here's the difference between you and me. I whored (I used that term, no as disrespect, but as a descriptive term for mostly me) out my mind and was treated with much less dignity and respect than it sounds like you were. And I'd be willing to bet for way less money.

Sex work wouldn't be for me, especially now. Who wants to look at a 53 year old woman. Although there have been times I've been on that edge and wondered. Groceries are expensive!

All that said, even if I'm not super comfortable with it for me. That's me and MY choice. If a grown person chooses of their own volition, to offer such services (and it is indeed a service), and as long as everyone is safe, I don't see the problem. Actually, taking it out of the shadows would make everyone safer. Everyone needs connection and sex, well, most people, so honestly, I don't see the big deal.
