(We’ve nearly all paid for sex via consensual non-professional relationships either financially or emotionally or both but that’s another tale.)

But I don’t see any reason to get in the way of folks who want to pay a professional for their orgasms. The puritanical idea that it always negatively impacts relationships is bullshit for many reasons. Think about folks who for many reasons struggle with interpersonal relationships – must they also forfeit sex? Why? Who thinks that’s intelligent? Think about folks in relationships where sex is no longer a feature for whatever reason, must they forego all sex forever more? Why? Who thinks that makes the world a better place?

If the gossip pages are to be believed, even a certain traditional marriage advocate and former National Party leader was in a marriage which was sexless for five years. These things happen, I’m not judging, it’s just unfortunate. He left his family. Is that a good outcome when families break up because sex has left the relationship, I’m asking you anti-sex-work Liberals? Is that a better outcome than him getting his rocks off with a sex worker or two every month rather than build resentment to the point that even he as a committed family values campaigner left his own family?

Of course like anything pleasurable in life some folks take it too far, but zero sex work is a much worse outcome for society than too much sex work.
