The work could be done cheaper by robots, presumably. And sure, I'm all for legalized sex work. But if a machine can do it better, faster, and cheaper - why not? Fleshlights exist - are you opposed to those because they take work from sex workers? Ludditism always fails - if human sex workers are still around after we have fully functioning sex bots, it is because they can provide something the bots can't. And I think this will be the case - at the end of the day, we know on a deep level that there is a difference between fucking a bot and fucking a real human.
But not necessarily because they were wrong.
Just because we can automate something, doesn't mean we should. At least not until we live in a moneyless society.
