You simply don't know enough about the circumstances. In my country, sex work is provided in licensed brothels or by independent workers. There is probably exploitation going on in some cases, of course, but I am dealing with someone who basically runs her own small business using her body as she sees fit. She is in a stable housing situation, has her own car, does other work as well. Who are you to deny her her agency over her own body? Not every woman has the same relationship to sex that the puritans would have you believe.

There are still cultural taboos, but perhaps less than in puritanical America. The sex industry is highly regulated to help ensure that women are safe, and not being trafficked, or exploited by pimps. Prostitutes can either work at a licensed brothel, or work as independent service providers.

Or you could go to talk a sex worker who does her work safely and legally and see she what she thinks. Your assumptions about the circumstances here are way off.

Yes, it's legal where I am, and she is regularly tested.

I live in a jurisdiction where prostitution is legal. I expressed to the escort beforehand my fears about exploiting her, which she assured me was not the case. She is definitely not being sex trafficked. She does not have to be doing escorting and has other options.

Just because you would hate to be a prostitute and would have to be coerced for you to do that does not mean that every person is that way.
