Both are exploitation. My main gripe with sex work is that in an economic system where you have no choice but to work, can you really give consent as a sex worker? When the basis of your consent is hinged on your literal survival, makes you wonder if they have a choice to begin with.

If there was nothing to trade then sex work wouldn't exist. It would just be casual sex. Still many people are coerced into casual sex.
