First of all, says who? There are loads of sex workers who are content with their job
Second of all, isn’t that something you could say of any job? Do you think the McDonald’s burger flipper is content with their job? They actually are paid shit to do something they don’t want
What about porn? Should we forbid that too, then? Because no one making porn must want to do it, right?
Yeah, let’s keep sex work illegal, that way if a woman decides to get into that, she can’t go to the police when abused, she will need to do it in ways that are much more dangerous than needed, she won’t be able to say no, and we can improve and increase human trafficking… I mean, all great stuff, right?
Here is a kicker: people like sex. Bigger kicker: women like sex. OMG! I know! Who knew! I did, you didn’t!
If both parties consent, it is fine and should be perfectly legal.its not your job to tell other what they can and cannot do, or what they can and cannot like.
The difference between McDonalds and sex work is that the employee isnt giving up their dignity and their body autonomy for someone else’s use (and often abuse). HUGE difference and equating the two is really quite disingenuous. ‘I’ll flip burgers for minimum wage’ is nothing like ‘I’ll suck your dick for $50’
There are loads of workers content with their jobs? Really? I’d believe you that they were if they actually would say that but you know why they won’t? Because they don’t want people to know what they do. They aren’t proud of the work they do and they know that exposing their work will more than likely cut off the opportunity to do any other regular job in the future. Because inherently, everyone knows that selling your body is soul crushing and demeaning despite the porn industry’s attempt to make it look lucrative and enjoyable. Not surprisingly, its almost always the young and vulnerable who get drawn into it and either right away or after a few bad experiences, they end up leaving. Because its not what its portrayed to be.
I’d be fine with banning porn if that’s were an option. The world wouldn’t be WORSE off without it. Pretty sure a few thousands generations of people figured out how to have sex and enjoy it before porn came along. Porn sets up false expectations, especially in youth who have no idea that what their watching is not real life and not how women respond. eg. No women has ever groaned in ecstasy cause some dude is jizzing on her stomach for example. Just unrealistic versions of what orgasmic sex is like for a woman because its all made for men by men. Just recently read a report that said that near asphyxiations are become far more common as people come in to emerg units - guess where THAT idea came from? And young people, especially young girls who dont know better think that’s “normal” - its not. Its not normal, and its downright dangerous.
Yes, people dont just like sex they LOVE it. And Im no prude, I have a great sex life with an amazing wife. But that doesnt mean we make it easier for people, especially women, and vulnerable young people to get into ‘sex work’ Theres nothing good that comes with it and like all other vices, people who argue ‘well we cant stop it so we may as well legalize it’ aren’t usually the people who have to clean up the mess and suffer the consequences when we finally realize we have a big problem with gambling and drug use and drinking and prostitution. Making it legal doesnt solve anything, it just puts a nice veneer on something so we can pretend its not as harmful as it really is.

They get treated like shit by their boss and society, and told what to do with their body and when. They absolutely are giving up their dignity and bodily autonomy.

(This is of course ignoring your implication that people who watch porn cannot have and enjoy sex as well.)
