I don't see how that can fulfill any sort of emotional human need when you know it's not real, but that's just me I guess.
I'll also add that prostitution relies on women who have had some sort of traumatic experience, mental illness, or desperate need for money.
Thats why prostitution is inherently exploitive. You seldom find a well put together, mentally healthy, ducks in a row type person who chooses to have sex for money.
So no, I don't think it's realistic.
No, what is unrealistic, is maintaining a stigma on sex work, forcing it to stay underground and unregulated which is far more dangerous. You are going to have spread of disease, crime and drug addiction in unregulated conditions.
EXPLOITATION is what causes trauma, not consent. Regulations where ANY industry can be monitored and give workers recourse is far better than unregulated exploitation.
Of course forced exploitation is going to cause trauma. You are making this about sex, but exploitation of labor in unregulated conditions can cause crime as well.
I don't know if you know who 80s/90s porn star Nina Heartley is, but she is a HUGE advocate of women's rights and for someone in the industry, she'd be the one to tell you you cant nor should keep sex work unregulated and underground.
NOBODY is advocating forced sex work.
