Melissa is correct, of course, to emphasize that porn is not alone in the entertainment industry in regard to its sexism, debasement, and exploitation of women. But the influence of porn might be unique. As mentioned, the amateur porn on YouTube provides some evidence of this. (Btw, the number of men with military haircuts in the amateur videos seems to be quite high. But this is a matter which requires far more analysis than I can provide here.)
She used some graphic language to grab the audience's attention and urged them not to refer to prostitution as "sex work."
"Sex is not work," she said. "God did not create any woman for the purpose, excuse me, that she be a cum receptacle. God did not create the female to be a human being that are basically masturbating into. ... These are human beings, made with human dignity, and sex was never intended to be a job, so let's not use the language of 'sex work.'"

Sorry, you'll have to call for rates.
littlegreenpills posted:ya apart from when she says one of the major reasons sex trafficking has exploded is because of moral degeneracy and the degenerate media
how can you think this is not a valid criticism? the fact that the race-to-the-bottom sensationalism and sleaze in media would encourage people to act in more unethical ways seems fucking obvious to me

While some may compare the practice to prostitution or question the morality of trading money and gifts for affection, the people who use these sites contend that they're merely a conduit for both parties getting what they want.
Men who engage in such relationships, many of whom are older and married, enjoy taking care of young women and assuming a mentor role in their lives, said Steven Pasternack, who launched Sugardaddie.com in 2002.
"If you look at the language of various state statutes, the terms of many of the relationships fall under the definition of prostitution," said New Jersey attorney Alex Miller, who has studied "sugar dating."
Authorities shy away from prosecuting sugar websites and their users because the relationships can mirror a typical romance, Miller said. Plus, users are savvy enough not to broadcast online whether they're trading sex for cash.
Wade, 42, (who met his wife, 27, on the site) said most of the men on the site begin communication with potential sugar babies by asking them why they're looking for a sugar daddy.
He's found that women who say they need money to pay for school get asked out more often than those who admit they want cash for breast implants, for instance.
While most of the sugar daddies Cervantes has met through the website prefer to arrange a per-date per diem, one married man wrote her a check for $1,600 to go toward her tuition and rent after their monthlong courtship.
She said she prefers dating married men because they tend to be more paternal and offer a steadier source of income than single men.
Without the extra income, Cervantes said she'd be back at the homeless shelter she lived in for three months in 2009. "In my heart of hearts I don't really like the situation," Cervantes said. "Right now it's a survival mechanism."
Sugardaddie.com's Pasternack said the relationship between a sugar baby and sugar daddy is all about perspective.
"I helped my wife get through school, I pay for the bills, take her on trips, buy her nice gifts," he said. "I guess you could say a lot of married guys are sugar daddies without them realizing it. I think you can say basically any guy who wants to impress a woman is a sugar daddy."

sex worker unions are run by pimps and madams, also known as sex workers
sex bosses (would be a good band name)

sorry but sex does not produce surplus value and therefore is unproductive labour. calling prostitutes 'workers' is incorrect, a more valid term would be sexual aristocracy. read marx
