    OF, like anything connected with capitalism, suffers from the same motivation: extract as much value for as little effort as possible.

    Unless the model is truly, 100% wanting the life associated with OF (they exist but are rare), they gonna capitalism.

    I have made friends with a handful of OF models (met them completely outside OF and found out that’s what they do) and they hate the grind but they have to. Their competition is every other model and porn site so they have to be personal.

      Yeah, that’s the frustrating part of the sex worker morality debate. While it can be argued that a decent portion of sex workers don’t really want to be doing it, their motivation is the same as the rest of us and sex work is the best option they see for surviving, either because they genuinely like it better than other options or because they don’t see other options (though the ones who are forced into it are a different story, though the laws against sex work make things even harder for them rather than protecting them).

        The Moral problem isn’t the Sex, it’s the Work, specifically the being forced to Work within an Economic and Political structure set-up and de facto controlled by others, to merelly survive.

        We’re born in a World were somebody else already owns all the stuff we need to survive (most notably Land), and unless lucky to have been born in a high net worth family, de facto slaves who have no option but to Work for the owners of everything in order to survive, and for some people that means Sex Work.

        In this line of Work like in many others, I bet that if something like a proper Universal Income came along a lot of people, thus having an actual choice, would be doing something else.

        There’s no problem in doing Sex Work because you want to, there is a problem in doing Sex Work because you have to.
