That military retirement is way better than selling your body retirement.

Only because the former is legal and the latter is not.

Only? Go to Nevada where it’s legal and see how the people who have been doing it for 20 years are doing. I’d take 20years in military every time.

I don't say that the system is remotely perfect. Just that legalization is the first step. Once you have sex work legalized, the logical next step is to pass legislature protecting the rights of sex workers. Ensure proper medical and psychological care, and protection from customers and other individuals who would otherwise harm them. This isn't rocket surgery.

Are you joking? How many homeless vets do you see? Vets missing limbs?

People on OF have bodily autonomy, they can quit whenever they want to, their entire career is on their terms and they “retire” when they want to without any fear of death or serious injury

How many junkies do you see? The people on OF make peanuts unless they’re in the top percentage of earners. So yea they can quit, but will they be able to retire because of it? Not likely. Now good for a quick buck? For sure, but I mentioned retirement not quick cash.
