    I can think of a few reasons why AES countries would outlaw sex work:

    • They’re in a very early stage of socialism, so there are still many people who work for private businesses and not everyone is guaranteed a home regardless of their job (e.g. China, AFAICT)
    • They had a severe problem with prostitution pre-revolution and don’t want to risk that happening again
    • They live in a largely capitalist world (i.e. every country) and don’t want people to be tricked into doing sex work
    • They ban pornography as a whole because they believe it is detrimental to the mental health of their citizens, which means that sex work is also prohibited

    Obviously, there’s no simple answer here. If there was a worker-owned alternative to OnlyFans, that would at least be a better solution as long as there’s a market economy

      Literally none of these reasons are valid

        “Valid”? Whether or not I agree, it’s not up to me or you to determine what’s a “valid” reason for an entire country. I doubt the CPC decided to ban pornography without serious consideration.
