    There’s still examples of people being paid to live in peoples’ homes as sex servants and whatnot, let’s not act like this kind of thing just evolves out of existance. I think I even remember a reddit post of someone talking about how a married couple paid for their tuition in exchange for being a plaything for them while at college.

      There are stories in British tabloids every few months about how young women in university are paying for their education by being available at the whim of wealthy sugar daddies.

        If I had been able to do that as a man, I would have 100% been on board with it. I don’t see any issue with the situation as long as both parties agree to it.

        Although I guess I technically did it since the job that was fucking me had tuition reimbursement.

          Personally I think the sexual exploitation of the youth to pay for the job training to become wage slaves isn’t something a society should be proud of.

            You can also view it as independence and agency. Why shouldn’t I capitalise on my resources?

            Broadly speaking that’s only an issue if the former is much more powerful than the latter and I don’t think that"s the case in the UK. There are plenty of other ways of funding education that are very much accessible but selling booty is easier and more fun than flipping burgers why not?

            The real pain point here is society’s judgement towards sex work.

              Gonna be real bro, I think you should take that blood lubed orphan crushing machine you’re defending and shove it where the sun don’t shine, then sell the video because it’s just society’s attitude about exploiting the hope for a future keeping you down, maaaaan.

              Or maybe you can just admit that there’s a difference between taking up sex work because you like it, or at least don’t mind it, and selling yourself to gross old perverts for tuition?

              There’s always going to be a power disparity built into people dangling your future on a string in front of you, it comes as a package deal with the capitalist cannibalism of its own youths.

      my body looks weird. lots of scar tissue. i was a regular model at the art school and they loved me because i’m so fucking lumpy. my mother would be so ashamed to learn i had to take my clothes off for money to get through school, because i also had a full time and part time job and loans and that still wasn’t enough to survive. she’s a prude though, this was art. that one is a secret between my wife and i (who funny enough did it at one of those mormon schools, so she got to wear a swimsuit)
