Like the porn industry, it seems to be inevitably exploitative, primarily of women

I know what you mean by this reservation, shanks. But it often seems to me that this sort of discussion takes place in a moral vacuum. If viewed relatively against the actual texture of our daily lives, how many of us are not party to some sort of contract of exploitation? When I employ a factory hand for £x per hour and they sell their time to me so that I can make £xx from the results, to pay my £xxx salary, after which the company’s principals draw their profit of £xxxx… We surely, every single member of this forum, engage on a daily basis with these relativistic exchanges of power and freedom. Is prostitution different in some way I am failing to understand? Convince me!
