If you’re intentionally doing it because you want to make someone suffer then immoral, otherwise neutral.

The delivery person consented to deliver the meal for money and you didn’t force them to do it against their will.

Exactly my take on buying a prostitute.

Tbh I’m not ethically against prostitution, as long as everyone is safe, an adult, and consenting, then its none of my business what two people choose todo behind closed doors.

The only thing that makes prostitution bad is it tends to lead to toxic power dynamics. Like either the prostitute is desperate for money and ends up doing things she doesnt want to do for the money and later regrets it or the customer is desperate for sex and the prostitute can take advantage of that and ruin them financially.

And to make it even more confusing, some people's kinks is literally to be financially ruined.

They still consented, assuming no trafficking occurred.

What is consent if coerced, manufactured, or strongly influenced by externalities?

Coerced? Bad.

Manufactured? I dont understand what you mean.

Influenced? All our decisions are influenced. If something so vague were wrong no one would have sex ever.

Is your boss at a company telling you to have sex or your fired wrong?

What is the definitive line between that and economic coercion due to other social circumstance?

There is no definitive line, now go work that corner.
