Around 20 porn scenes to my credit beyond the little things
I leik aesthetic
is my jam and has been getting me into coding
:antifa:
I'm kinda lost in life and hella isolated

My ideal is a sex worker co-op but my lived experience is my peers profiting off of me in ways I still struggle with the internalization of rugged individualism, etc

@Leigh welcome!
same problem of egocentrism vs. solidarity in so many fields. I am not very much into the topic but I'd love to see self-determined sex work! most of my leftist contacts totally condemn sex work as patriarchal and I agree to a certain extend but I think this could be transformed by approaches like co-ops or public love-houses.

@aka2
It's a complicated and multi-faceted thing
Personally, I consider all traditional feminine societal roles to be various spectrums of sex work, as wives or otherwise

Not all of it exists as a monatized thing,

Having the agency to do so safely is a way to amass wealth for marginal and struggling ppl in the context of the world

Allowing people to do it safely means decriminalization and to halt state repression

@aka2
Sex work is an individual act of direct action, more so for people just finding a way to survive in the context of late capitalism particularly with its accessibility - particularly in this age of the web

It needs to be analyzed no different from any other job. Exploitative bosses aren't unique to porn.

No other job gives such an opportunity for self autonomy, in my experience. I'm too poor otherwise to be self employed

@Leigh
I agree and would like to encourage you to organise to fight marginalisation and give sex-work the recognition in society it deserves. The current situation is just a big bigotry at all levels.
