Robyn Few - Harm reduction among sex workers

Is sex work always a rape? Can women give their consent to do sex work? Can we speak about harm reduction among sex workers like among drug users?

Robin Few was interviewed by our crew at the International Conference on the Reduction of Drug Related Harms in Warsaw, 2007.

Oh yes its stigma, not predatory pimps ie "business owners" and johns in the legal industry causing suffering for sex workers.

damn those feminists and their honesty, it makes us feel bad.

[Born2Nonconform]

I agree with the stigmatised environment. The "buyer," however, is not immune to this stigma which is why I don't agree with Robin's aim to counteract THE feminist movement when in actual fact it is the radical feminists who are blind to the sex worker's act of consent. There needs to be an evolution of feminism around thinking on sex work.

mamachip..your statement is clearly the idiotic one. People who come to sex workers for services are not "buying" the other person's body. Your argument from the very beginning falls apart.

What's so funny is that it is not illegal to have sex with a stranger for money. It depends on who is paying. If a corporation is paying, and there are cameras rolling, it's called "movie producing" and it's protected as free speech.

I hope someday my country will let me own my own body, and let me do what I want with it: rent it, sell it, or give it away.

Robyn Few is magnificent.

The government should not have any control over your body. You should be allowed to do anything you want with your body. I shiver when the government says this is "for your own good." Buying anything, no matter what it is, is an agreement between the giver and receiver. Why should we allow the government to have power over decisions that you make that make both people happy, one for the sex and the other for the money. If they didn't like it, they wouldn't do it.

[mamachip]

This is just IDIOTIC. It's not an agreement. It's about POWER. "I have money, so I can buy your body"... If you had money, you wouldn't sell your body. We don't allow people to sell their children, their organs, so why should we let them sell their bodies?
