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.

    I don't understand?

    You are saying that some of your friends are sex workers? And...you come online to bash sex workers? And then get defensive when people misconstrue your intention?

    Is that correct? Is that what's happening here?

    If you don't know, you probably won't accept any response.

    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.

    OK, I'll rephrase it.

    How much to hold you down and fuck you? We can set that as the livable wage.

    You a sex worker, Velma? What's the rate?

    edit: I love so much that this question is offensive, but the entire premise isn't. Y'all are flat weird.

    Then we cannot set a livable wage in your city at this point, I guess.

    Would you consider your work to be more or less valueble than that of a plumber. Either service or new work, please specify.
