I "kind of" see your point. Just because people would masturbate to these women doesn't mean they'd want to be in a relationship with them. It's not always because they look down on them, it's just that they don't like the idea of their partner having sex with other men and women and if it's their career then it's going to happen a lot. Doesn't necessarily mean they think "low" of them for it, just that they don't think they are compatible with such women.
It's a little difficult to follow who is responding to who on this site, so on the off chance this is directed to me...
This isn't about whether or not you'd want to be in a relationship with one of these people, it's about whether it's hypocritical to utilize their services then shame the provider for the commodity they chose to purchase. I assert that, yes, it is hypocritical to do so. As to relationships anyone should be allowed to choose for themselves who they would be in a relationship with. So then if you're opposed to being in a relationship with such a person then... don't. Much like it doesn't make sense to oppose gay marriage; if you don't want to be in a gay marriage then don't marry someone of the same gender, and beyond that leave others to the choices they prefer to make.
If a comment is on its own and not got a @____ sign on it, then it's (usually) directed to the OP (original poster).
It doesn't necessarily have to be hypocritical to be wrong, so I'm not in agreement that it's hypocritical. I can understand why people will look down on it even if I myself don't look down on it (or highly of it). Kind of like if someone was bullying another for their kicks, just because they look down on the person that's putting up with their BS doesn't necessarily make it hypocritical, it still makes it wrong just not hypocritical.
I think people look down on it because they're doing something that doesn't take as much effort, they're doing something that every human being can pretty much do, they're profiting off of basic human intimacy. Like I said, I don't look down on them for it nor do I look highly of them for it but I can understand why some people would.
Thank you for helping me understand how it works, I was trying to follow the little lines next to the posts but there are too man comments (which I think is a good thing) to see it all on my tablet.
When I say I think it's hypocritical I'm referring to two specific condition coinciding: The use of adult entertainment AND the mocking, derision, etc by the consumers of the product.
At the risk of using another imperfect analogy (sort of a reverse one but it may work) let me venture this: A man comes home and when frustrated kicks, beats or otherwise abuses his dog AND he volunteers or works for an entity that crusades for animal rights (being kind to animals). This would be hypocritical as well. Either condition on it's own just is what it is (beating = bad, helping = good) but when one engages in both there is hypocrisy. Anyway, I feel I've made that point as well as I can, so I'll let it be (for now).
I see that many of you are attempting to explain why it's looked down on. That's all well and good but not really what I was looking for. Believe me, I know the reasons I've heard them all many times. But what struck me about your reason is that, while I have heard it many times, it simply isn't true. Doing pornographic films or working as a prostitute are excruciatingly difficult vocations. That people don't see it that way is part of the problem. I'm not some ultra-feminist that wants these things banned, quite the contrary, I'm trying to foster understanding and create an environment for those involved in sex work to have better working conditions. Again, I ask you to take my word for it when I tell you it's far from easy, it, like some other professions, leads to many emotional problems.
Is it normal that sex workers are looked down on?
