@RickiTarr 100% yes.
IMO, The reason it's illegal is that sex workers are/were primarily women. By criminalizing it hundreds of years ago, it severally lessened a woman's earning potential and pushed the narrative that women belonged to their men. It forced us to toe the line or be seen as moral degenerates.
We pay people to clean our houses, cut our grass, build stuff, etc. Sex work is just another way people use their bodies to make money. There should be no moral stigma attached to it.
