'sex work' is a distasteful term to me. it implies that what a 'sex worker' does is unpleasant, distasteful. i prefer to look at the practice of buying or selling sexual favors as something which when engaged in freely, not under duress, is mutually agreeable and rewarding. i also think it's natural and nothing to be ashamed of, no reason to be stigmatized or criminalized. quite the contrary.
getting paid or rewarded for providing sexual pleasure and fulfillment to another is good. paying or rewarding someone for providing sexual pleasure and fulfillment is good. at it's best, 'sex work' isn't work at all. there may be an imbalance of pleasure, an imbalance of passion, but just because the provider receives less pleasure and fulfillment, they can still derive pleasure and fulfillment in this 'work'. in that case it's literally and figuratively a labor of love.
