This subject makes me feel weird because I have difficulty being okay with sex work in general. (I’m not a Puritan! I just dress like one. What can I say, I enjoy a good shoe buckle and wide brimmed bonnet).

I guess I accept consensual sex workers at their word, but it’s simply not the same type of physical work as other jobs. There’s a fundamental difference and exploitative possibility between spreading mulch or mowing lawns or laying bricks and inviting a stranger into your actual body for money. (Although in this context all three things I listed first sound like something someone would ask a sex worker to do on Craigslist.)

The validity of sex work is obviously not the point of your post. Ugh, fine. So I guess all this is to say, yeah. Someone should look into this.

Jeff, what's steamy is your mind and your craft. You could write about corruption in the reupholstery industry, and I'd get hot.
