im thinking of jobs that involve contact with the private area. doctors, beauty salons, tattooist/piercer. they all wear gloves and work in sterile environments, also the worker is clothed.
im thinking of jobs that involve saliva. also doctors, covid test stations. again, sterile environment, worker is clothed, probably even wearing a mask, and gloves.
im thinking of jobs where the worker has to get naked. actors and actresses, models. they are at least supposed to have a coach on set and an agent supporting their safety.
none of this is implemented in prostitution and never will be because it destroys the illusion of it being about sex and not money and power exerted through it. sex cant be regulated or professionalised and thats beside the point that with all possible regulations it is still unwanted sex.
so apparently there’s a woman on TikTok who found out her stepdad subscribed to her onlyfans and my heart definitely goes out to her because that sounds traumatic but also I feel like the rightful outrage over this is just another thing that disproves the lie that “sex work is work and it’s exactly like any other job”
there is obviously a huge difference between a family member coming to visit you at a restaurant you work at and a family member paying to see naked photos of you. and unfortunately from what I’ve heard it’s not even that uncommon for women to find out that their male relatives are subscribed to their onlyfans
“If we say “pregnant people” instead of “pregnant women,” abortion becomes a people’s rights issue instead of a women’s rights issue. And then you can’t complain if men decide.”
my official stance is a pregnancy is whatever the pregnant woman wants it to be. if it’s a 4 week old clump of cells and she wants to call it a baby it’s a baby. if she’s 20 weeks and she wants to call it a parasite it’s a parasite. if she’s 39 weeks and calls it a fetus it’s a fetus. “why are you so sad about miscarrying at 6 weeks it was literally just an embryo” because that was her baby. “how can you get an abortion at three months” because that wasn’t a baby. hope that helps.
It’s really a tragedy that most people get their education on what sex acts to perform and how to perform it based on porn. Positions and sex acts in porn aren’t chosen based on how they feel, but how they look like for a camera and what the majority male audience wants to see (which includes violence and pain btw).
People pay lip service to knowing “It’s not realistic” yet, to the best of their ability, a vast majority of those people are mimicking the acts and positions they see in porn.
How many acts and positions that have their origins in a certain camera framing or a trending director’s choice have integrated themselves as “standard”’sex in people’s imaginations? If people focused on pleasant sensation only in their sex- it would probably look radically different from what most people reach for.
