A long time ago, I wrote a piece defending sex workers. Although that piece has been removed and was not reposted, it exists on the Wayback Machine and was backed up probably by someone in order to spite me. That’s why I took the time to write a rebuttal to my own argument, especially given the numerous recent events where people in many professions were fired for having done sex work. With this new information, I’ve come to a completely different mindset.
When I did adult content, it was on a much smaller site than Only Fans. I didn’t show my face and not everyone knew who I was. I couldn’t be identified easily. However, many of the numerous women who have been busted for their Only Fans accounts and fired did the exact opposite – they showed enough to not only get the attention of other employees, but also their students and in the most recent case I’ve read, people who have committed crimes.
Yes, you heard me right. A female officer is now being held accountable for operating a secret Only Fans account that she thought no one would discover. Unfortunately for her, one of the criminals she was going to arrest had just seen her having sex with her husband and numerous others the day before. Because the man had this level of dirt on her, she couldn’t arrest him. He could have killed someone and would have walked away scot-free because the information that this man had posed a threat to her position as a police officer. You see, being both a sex worker and a police officer don’t quite match. It’s an obvious conflict of interest.
This is of course, just one small example. It is going to be very hard for children to respect their teachers if they find them doing very obscene things on the internet. Yes, Van Halen gave us the hit “Hot For Teacher” decades ago, but the fact that students have found their own teachers in compromising positions is a problem. You can try to block kids from every porn site in the world, but they’ll just use a VPN to override it. It’s not even the egghead nerds who only know about this kind of stuff now, it’s everyone in the school. Nevermind the school, how about the office or as we just discovered, the precinct?
Suffice it to say that sex sells, but I don’t think there’s ever going to be a day where one can be both an online prostitute/courtesan and a person to be respected. If you’re a teacher or police officer and you’re posting things that might compromise your position and get you fired, it might not be such a good idea. In the days where even an offhand comment (referring to the Thy Art Is Murder controversy) can get you fired, then posting nude pics and full length videos of you having sex with people for various amounts of money might not be such a good idea.
The main issue is once again, that sex sells. Women doing this kind of work make hundreds of thousands. There’s no shortage of Daily Mail articles on the internet that prove this true, almost to the point of being constantly spat out of a machine just to gain ad revenue. (Imagine that?) All joking aside, having read through several of these articles on the show, I know for certain that even if these articles are written for Clickbait ad revenue, that doesn’t mean that the incredible amounts of money that these women are accruing from sex work is anything to laugh at.
Right before the collapse of a society, the selling of sex and debauchery was quite common. There’s no doubt in my mind that this latest revelation is just another part of that eventual collapse. Even though I not only enjoy, but promote adult games, all of this was originally a behind closed doors sort of thing. Not being able to put a lock on it and having it available to the children is a recipe for disaster and society as a whole. Maybe I spoke too soon when I said that businesses should be a little more lenient, because when a criminal can go free because he knows you for your sex work and can use that to get your fired from the police force, then that opens up a can of worms that I can guarantee no one wants to deal with. We can’t allow criminals to get away with crimes because they can incriminate the officer. Seriously, that statement sounds like right out of a comic book and it should certainly never be a reality.
