No one knows the worth of selling their body like they do.

      How? Everyone sells their body and they know how much they need to live and hopefully are setting their own prices.

        So why mention prostitutes in particular? Why not fry cooks or line workers?

        And “easy”?! There’s nothing “easy” about collecting data on sex workers by visiting different areas and polling them! It’s definitely SO much easier to just Google “Cost of living index”

        If it’s not easy and it’s not specific to prostitutes, it means the statement is false. WHY ARE WE LAUGHING AT A LIE?!

        Answer: BECAUSE IT’S A JOKE. It’s a joke about sex work. It’s a joke about how only a desperate person would sell their body for money, therefore offering customers a discount based on their location.

        So, yeah, it’s a bit in bad taste. As are many jokes. In fact, I feel a bit depressed now. No worries, it’s nothing a night out on the town with a couple of teenage hookers won’t cure! :)

          Most those jobs do not set their own rate and are at market whims not their own. Plus it is interesting to see what the regional specific cost of living would be. They have a job that is very direct cash in and out.

          This is very antagonistic and reactionary from the profession. Its a job that I have friends that do.

          Your response leaves me feeling more afraid of you than thinking you have a legitimate concern here.

          Thats an insane way to blame someone else for not explaining. Like an assumption to make it ok to not put in any effort, after starting the conversation, is wild. Mostly it seems to let you look down at others automatically?

          Just… Wow.
