There seems to be a current of “pro sex work” in the left yet prostitution (to me at least) is not work it is not labour. Nothing of value is produced and all that’s provided is access of womens bodies to be raped by bourgeois men

Also does anyone have writings on the new trend of polyamoury?

Surely this has underpinnings in economy rather than “free choice to coshare a house amongst 4 people” (as in split rent 4 ways due to rent hikes)?

Again the trend of polyamoury seems to have it’s underpinnings in economy and the stunted sexual development of adults that are no longer able to “grow up” because wages are flat, houses are out of reach and rent is sky high. So why not YOLO and engage in as much meaningless sex as possible and collect relationships like commodities

(I’ve provided my opinions here but am looking for a solid marxist analysis of prostitution and polyamoury)

    That shorter article is incredible. It gives a good analysis on the revolutionary sounding “Sex work is work” and how this ends up as defence of the Sex industry instead of the prostitutes.

    Thanks a lot

    I’ll be sure to read the longer one and the podcast
