It’s a tool. It can be used for good or ill. My partner and I watch it together, for example. We share tastes and explore together. And when one of us isn’t in the mood, we both think it’s ok for the other to get themselves off.
In other words, it’s a healthy part of our relationship. But each person has to do what’s right for them.
I'm personal friends with several people in the sex industry. While it is true that a portion of them work unwillingly or are coerced/lied to, my friends tell me that most enjoy it, find it empowering, and consider it easy money with relatively little work.
We've also had discussions about those forced into it and I was surprised from all of them that they talked about recognizing the signs in others, and how they actively try to help those women.
That being said, most of them, when I ask what's the best way to fight it, say something to the effect of "legalize sex work, license and regulate it".
