You're making some pretty big assumptions about sex workers there. The truth is that most of them don't have pimps or drug habits, and a lot of them prefer being able to set their own hours and make more money in less time than they would in an office or a restaurant. Do they "enjoy" it? Some do. Some don't. Just like in any other job.

As for people framing it as them "selling their bodies," do you say the same thing about masseuses, athletes, and manual laborers. Do lawyers and engineers "sell their brains"? Or do they all just sell their services?
