re: #285 dog philosopher

There was a case recently of a young man, a high school senior, who was expelled from school for his work in adult films. He recently was allowed to return to school. He was doing this to help his Mom pay the bills (there might have been health issues for her too, I can’t remember at the moment).

Anyhow, I would think this is mostly purely an economic choice, though there may be some sex workers who like their job. I don’t know, I just have a hard time thinking that anyone would do that if they didn’t have to because of homelessness, addiction or economic circumstances. I don’t know. There’s a case to be made for legalization and destigmatizing of sex work, but it just makes me sad to think there aren’t other opportunities available for people to take care of themselves financially.
