Well, personally I think that working in sex work is totally fine, but using the service is morally questionable. I believe that there are people who want to work in sex work, but I also believe that people who are in it out of desperation. These people will lie about their motivation because people who care to ask don’t want to if the motivation is desperation. And so you can’t know if you are just using a service that someone willing provide, or a service that is motivated by desperation. I don’t want to use a service powered by desperation, especially when it is something like sex work.

GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 1 week agoYou’re old, single, horny and financially solvent. Why would you not want a 20 year old live in maid / fucktoy? You have no fucks left to give what anyone thinks, the girl is okay with it, so why not enjoy your last years? Transactional relationships are common all around the world.

My man, almost every worker you have ever interacted with is doing that job out of desperation. That doesn’t stop you in every other case so why choose this issue to start being concerned about their motivations?

It is fun how you ignore parts of my message. And i don’t think we talk about the same kind of desperation.
If you are human trafficking and you might get killed if you don’t earn enough money for your pimp, is not the same kind of desperation than what someone feels when they look at their account and see that they only have money for 1 month rent.
i have no interest to discuss what kind of desperation is or is not fine to abuse. Or what kind of desperation could possibly motivate someone to do anything.
In case, you are wondering what you are ignoring. 1. I don’t want, not I don’t. I need to eat, I don’t need to fuck a sex worker. 2. I said especially something like sex work, highlighting that I have a different set of rules for different kinds of stuff.

That’s why there are escorts, but I see your point.

But on the other hand, why wouldn’t I want the person I have sex with to have a similar amount of life experience so we can have more interesting conversations?

Older does not always equal more interesting.

Personally I’d want a partner more than a 20something fuckservant as well, but I can definitely see the appeal for horny old dudes with too much money. That also somewhat ignorantly precludes the likely possibility that the young woman has more to offer than her body though, which I’d think is quite likely in reality.

Social media users love to clutch their pearls.
Treating it like it’s exploitative let’s them get their little dose of outrage, it doesn’t matter if it matches reality or not.
Despite the fact that, as you pointed out, to do so often requires that they assume some pretty offensive things (like, “a 19-20 year old is only good for sex and housework”).

I wonder how much of it is horny old dudes and how much is actually lonely old dudes. These types of arrangements, somewhere in the gray area between transactional paid sex work and companionship between equal partners might not satisfy the loneliness part of the equation.
