For the providers who are reading this, this should be old news.

It will never be destigmatized.

In the Obama administration, we had the most liberal House, Senate and White House ever. Even the SCOTUS was leftish. Decriminalization was not even a low priority issue for any part of that administration.

With that out there, the Indonesian legislature just passed a law-making coitus between non married people illegal.

It will never be decriminalized or legalized in the US, because we have the highest population of lawyers and politicians per capita in the world. Those whores don't like competition!


A sex worker gives something of value in return.


Lawyers and politicians take your money and then screw you, and not in a good way! (Unless your are a fan of being pegged with a telephone pole.)

Thanks for the links. This is new to me.

She appeared in a documentary and has petitioned the state of Nevada for specific sex worker rights in the past. She appeals to mainstream viewers by offering "Ask a Sex Worker" type of programming about sex, without violating YouTube policies.

There are various strippers and escorts who have YouTube channels. There is also a channel that interviews women who are well known in porn. The interviews are less about porn and more about their personal lives.

I think with all the free porn widely available online nowadays, that eventually I can see sex work decriminalized. I think it will take losing a lot of ancient old dinosaurs of all political stripes who have been entrenched in our government systems since the 1980's. Some lawmakers are actually in favor of decriminalization, they just cannot be open about it until our current system henchmen and henchwomen finally die off. A lot of things will change eventually when younger people who are not easily shocked and offended by sexuality, become lawmakers.

I'm a trick in the hobby, but it isn't my lifestyle that's above other things in life, I wouldn't want to encourage or display my actions to the youth, the more WE want things to change to make things favorable, things are fine as they are.

It really is the future of relationships, no loosing your house or half your wealth at least you can get what you want and should be as common as going to get your hair cut or nails done. With mental health at an all time low it is just a mater of time.

In my opinion... The problem with Sex Work is easy to find. PT is a huge part of the hobby as far as girls getting into the biz to support a habit. Girls being forced to hook or trafficked, violent pimps etc etc. Law enforcement isn't interested in spending resources to bust a single working girl unless there are a lot of complaints from neighbors or there is a chance she is involved in PT. Legit PROVIDERS are a minority part of the whole deal. Most of those do it as a business, get tested, have nice places, some even pay taxes. Just sayin...

I think there's too many people in positions of power right now that it would become legal the world over. And as long as it is illegal, it will be discriminated against. Even if were made legal, there's too many religious folk out there for it to be accepted as civil behavior. Of course... this might not be the case 20 years from now; who knows.

I see it being legal buy Destigmatized, even legal strip clubs have a stigmatized. Just like hunting, coughing on ice cream, eating food you did not pay for.
