Seems like like this could be rephrased as: people driven into prostitution to avoid starvation.

The way it's phrased is that they added an additional payment method, not that people are turning to prostitution to eat.
Could just be that food is all the Johns have to pay with.
Who started this ridiculous trend where the fucking words letters are substituted with symbols or numbers. Sex. Why can't sex be written? I've seen it with tons of other words too but can't remember the which ones.
It sorta makes sense on overly censored social media platforms but what, that's an article on their own personally managed website? That's bizarre
Advertisers avoid placing ads in controversially named pages. They are likely protecting their income
And it's Zimbabwe, which is like 80 something percent Christian according to Wikipedia, so their cultural mores might be different from more liberal and progressive areas.

Why are 'beans' and 'corn' in quotes there? Are they euphemisms for something else?
Flashbacks to 2023 Lemmy
good, more trading of things.
I went down to the corn-chemical exchange bank, and gave em 2 ears a corn, and they gave me 2 beakers a chemicals!
Definitely not, it’s bad for the most vulnerable portion of society to not have access to money. You can’t pay rent or a doctor with corn and beans.
You can pay for prostitutes, which means the situation is dire. Doctors can probably be bargained with in this scenario if you have the beans to pay.
I'm a therapist in the states and I accept barters
Doctors can probably be bargained with in this scenario if you have the beans to pay.
I’m old enough to remember a republican Senate candidate getting dragged for suggesting this as an alternative to the ACA.
