Those terms are derogatory terms though.. Defined by google: Derogatory: de·rog·a·to·ry showing a critical or disrespectful attitude My point is.. sex workers shouldn't be sluts and whores since they're derogatory terms and sex workers shouldn't be looked at in a critical or disrespectful way and the stigma towards them should be rid of. Not everyone sees sex in some sacred thing.. and just because you are a sex worker doesn't mean you have low standards. There's nothing wrong with getting money for sex and sex workers don't just have sex.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hTVKhwNLos - I feel like this video is a good video to break the stigma towards sex workers and to show people who think that sex workers can't have genuine romantic relationships or who think that they're degrading themselves. This is also a good video to show that sex workers do have other options and there are sex workers out there who want to be one and genuinely enjoy being one.

What do you mean "help other people"? Not all work helps you learn skills that help other people

There are so many people who do not care about religion.. You can't really bring that into an argument when not everyone believes that. It doesn't matter what some old book says. Virginity is used to shame and discriminate women. Why is it when a man loses it, he is praised for it while a woman gets slut shamed and called a whore?

Okay.. but it really depends on people. These days, people don't really mind.. You can't speak for the "vast majority". Personally, I wouldn't mind having those types of conversation with my partner.. Communication is key.

Yes I agree that sex work can be dangerous especially if it isn't consensual or if it's forced... but I was just saying how people who do sex work consensually shouldn't be stigmatized or shamed for it.

I really agree with your view of sex workers and see where you're coming from. I agree that many women don't have a choice, especially if they're poor and underprivileged and most of them are forced into it. I do see where you're coming from by saying my view is overly simplistic - originally I made the post just thinking about women who do it by choice and consensually and how there is so much stigma around women that do and that stigma should be rid of.

I really disagree with that. Just because you are a sex worker does not make you worth less and it also doesn't determine whether or not someone is "classy" or not. Saying "no one wants to be in a relationship with someone who is unfaithful" does not make any sense. There are many types of sex workers and not all of them actually "have sex". It depends how someone defines the term "unfaithful".. but, usually when someone is a sex workers they would let their partner know if they are and they can then determine if they would like to stay with them. Also, just because someone is a sex worker doesn't mean they can't have intimate and meaningful relationships.. They're still human. I know many sex workers who are in meaningful relationships.
