As always, leftism gets human nature wrong. The reason many leftists defend “sex work” is because leftism is based on the worldview of materialism, which asserts that human beings are just clumps of matter. Thus, sex isn’t special. Thus, making money doing it is fine. https://twitter.com/mattwalshblog/status/1339670315677470723
But the fact that the industries are rife with exploitation, abuse, addiction, depression & suicide belies leftist’s claims that “sex work” is just as moral as accounting. Sex is different, because humans aren’t clumps of matter. We’re whole people with hearts and souls.
Thus we were made for commitment, connection and relationship. We weren’t made to be objectified, whether we consent to it or not. It will always depress us & leave us unfulfilled, because we were made for more.
The secular view of the body is a sad one. Secularism/materialism *must* see human beings as mere objects- what other option is there? Thus there is nothing wrong, in its view, with objectification. (As long as it’s consensual they say—a standard it has no moral explanation for.)
The Biblical worldview, on the other hand, recognizes people are more than just objects. We are both body & soul. We were designed with purpose for love and belonging. Therefore porn & prostitution—forms of objectification—will always be wrong.
