Er, yes. Without a question. Would you date an ex-prostitue?


As long as she matched with me on a personal, intellectual, and moral level, and is a good match in general, sure. I would like to understand her motivations for doing so of course, but that's what dating is all about.

Besides, if some other hypothetical perfect match told me she still went to church until her 25th and actually believed all that stuff I wouldn't dismiss her outright either for doing something so silly, but similarly seek to understand her first.


If we connected, why not? I guess I'd make sure we both had clean sti panels before engaging in sex, but I'd do that with any partner.

"They used their dick or vagina to make money" is not any different to me than "they used their brain or hands to make money".


Thats a fine opinion, and I fully agree with you.

However its slightly different to the discussed point here, which is that people who use their dick or vagina to make money publicly can later have that used against them.

Theres nothing wrong with dating a sex worker, but when you want to make them a wife and have children, there becomes a risk that some crazy drug addict is going to spot them in the future and do something. Mabye they are going to call out to your wife while she is dropping the kids off at school. Maybe they will be a bit more sinister and threaten to send old OF videos to your kids ands kids teachers email address unless you give them some money, or do it again etc.

These are of course hypotheticals, but they have happened in the past and it is a risk, however small, of having an ex sex worker as a life partner.


It can only be used against you if people think it can be used against you.

Like, imagine a world where we said, " you flipped burgers in college? Eww gross, you've robbed your life!"

It sounds absurd because we've collectively decided one of those jobs is good and one is bad. We can collectively decide they are both fine, actually.

Also, if you're that model includes "random drug addict who is aware of my wife's porn career notices my wife, then chooses to act on it" I think your threat model may need revising. Yes, I'm sure that happens hundreds of times a year in the US. Driving a car to school seems statistically MUCH more dangerous.


How would you even know if somebody you like had engaged in transactional sex before?


He admitted it in an attempt to get me back.
