If you believe sex work is the one group of professions that compromise and invalidate people’s (usually women’s) worth, respect, and humanity, then that’s the problem, not the occupations themselves.

Sex work, by definition, means that those professionals are not (strictly) monogamous. Obviously the ethical ones choose partners that are aware of and okay with this. Polyamorous people (including sex workers) have already worked out the ethics of their arrangements.

The problems they face are finding partners that won’t dismiss, degrade, humiliate, and invalidate them the way general society does.

How about we NOT contribute to that sorry state of affairs?

Having sex workers as intimate partners is pretty much like having any other sorts of professionals as lovers: they want and deserve respect, dignity, choices, options, love, passion, and freedom as much as anyone else would.
