    Tbh I know little about the topic and was under the (maybe wrong) impression than many sex workers are poor people that need to do it to survive. But then I guess the issue I was pointing is more about our capitalist society than about sex work

      The thing is we can’t know because it’s illegal in most places.

      There’s some who only take clients they’re attracted to anyways and manage to pull in a lot of money.

      There’s some that if they dont make X amount of money a night, they’ll get beat.

      Anyone that claims to know how much are in each group are pulling numbers out of their ass. And people that act like they’re all the same are usually using the services of people who are forced into it.

      Not all sex work is equal ethically.

      But generally speaking, the less legal it is, the worse they’re treated. Because they have no legal recourse if they’re mistreated

      In Germany the majority (about 95 %) of sex workers are people from the poorest countries of EU. Because of the high demand and the amount of money you can make with brothels there is also an increase in trafficking from countries outside of the EU.
