> prostitution

I argue: prostitution is illegal but not reprehensible.



It’s not even illegal in large parts of the world.

I can understand wanting to fight revenge porn, child porn, human traficing and exploitation, but we’re also making it unreasonable for prostitutes, porn stars and cam girls to do their job. And I kinda doubt that these rules makes much difference to the unlawful actors in those businesses.


I agree, actually. I guess what I mean is that it’s outside the intended purpose of the site and makes the site owner look a bit more brothelesque which has seedy undertones.

I was mainly pointing at the fact it’s “more obviously” illegal than, say, facesitting or spanking.


It's not illegal where OF was founded, the UK.
