So long as everyone involved consents sans coercion, I do not see why anyone else should care/be involved
Does getting paid still counts as "sans coercion" though ?
I suppose it depends on how desperate someone is for money. I am in an industry where client relationships are important, but more money will not make my hard no a yes
Indeed, as I clarified under another comment
Labor as coerced selling of oneβs body is an interesting view.
That's literally all work in capitalism. You use your time and body to do things for other people in exchange for money. We're all prostitutes, only a few of us have sex for it.
It's objectively true.
That I cannot say, and seeing as in the vast majority of the US it is illegal, all we have is supposition unfortunately
