>It's something that wouldn't happen without the money

People never have sex, hook up or send nude pics of themselves without exchanging money?

You're conflating what sex workers do with what people who feel lust and excitement and decide to get intimate do.

You should spend some time with sex workers. Pretty much the first lesson in this line of work is that you act well and submit to the whims and wishes of your clients, and the second lesson is to put some hard limits on what you'll do or you'll be abused.

It's generally an act, one person faking attraction or friendship or whatever and another person paying for it. Sometimes sex workers get to know clients personally, but outside porn where the 'client', i.e. the producer or whoever is paying, isn't the one you're fucking I've never heard about a sex worker initiating a non-paying relationship with a client.

To answer your actual question, no, this is not a common type of behaviour.

You're conflating sex workers with sex slaves. Nobody's forcing you to be a sex worker for them if the job is done within the confines of the law between consenting adults.

Unemployment is low in the developed west, there are tens of thousands of other legal careers you can choose if you want to support yourself.

There's no manufactured imbalance of power here since nobody's forcing you into sex work. You choosing to strip to gooners online for money is your voluntary choice as an adult so take responsibility for it and don't outsource it by blaming those paying for your life choices.

No, it's not a choice to sell your labour, unless you're born into wealth and a few even more unlikely options. It's something you do under the threat of misery and starvation.

And you should really, really spend some time with some sex workers and listen to them instead of some grifter dipshit that calls himself a fan of Mises or whatever.

		And survival sex workers don’t represent all sex workers no matter who you listen to Its mostly an information asymmetry if they choose to sell their labor that way and dont want to, or do want to and believe it is the most lucrative choice for them part of the whole sex worker activist movement is the observation that other kinds of workers dont have to be representatives of their entire occupation based on their mood that day

		And if you are American you are born into obscene wealth that most people throughout history wouldn't be able to comprehend, so what's your point? Throughout my life I've listened to all sorts of people who were "poor since birth" and it's always code for "I want money from you without having to work"
