(5,763 posts)If you control for the monthly cycle and the lower rate of reaching orgasm, women desire sex as much men.
However, both sexes also vary about equally in the libido spectrum. I'm convinced this debate isn't between women and men. Many men want to suppress the sex industry as well. This is between people with low libidos and uncommon orgasm pitted against those with high libidos. The two live in completely different worlds, see two completely different things in porn, and have different meanings for the same terms.
Let's say the contention that sex workers are actually acting out a psychological symptoms that causes them to want to strip, have meaningless sex, get kinky, and/or demean themselves and, in effect, get abused. If then you effectively suppress the sex industry, you can then expect them to be doing all those things anyway-- for free. Why? You haven't "cured" them. The illness would still be there.
You can't correlate behavior in a child to behavior in an adult. Not sexually, not in any way. That's been debunked in other things, and it would hold even truer in sex.
