Thats funny because a statement such as "sex work is miserable and demoralising for 99% of the people doing it" is as far from subtle as you can get. Not to mention detached from reality. The lie that people don't "want" to be sex workers should end. The vast majority do. But as noted it goes back to religious moralistic nonsense, where sex work is not seen as a "real job" or that they have no other skills to cope so they resort to that. And it's like um people just like making bank while banging other people, it's not hard to understand. They can have degrees and all that "respectable" stuff. And still build a brand using their body.

The thing is that most people on the outside look at prostitution in the more extreme situation, like the street walker who has no choice in who they have sex with to stay alive, and/or pay a pimp. The situation you're painting is an idealistic one where someone is willingly having sex with people they want because they can, while making money doing it, which I'm not saying it can't happen, but that's not the image that prostitution has.
