Just wanted to clarify one thing.
The legal age of consent is 16/yo in almost half of the states (regardless of age of other person a 16yo could have relations with a 50yo), it's 17yo in 1/4 of the states, and 18yo in only 11-states. But sex workers MUST be 18yo in every state regardless of each states own age of consent laws.

So wouldn't part of your logic be that if the age of consent is 16-yo that an individual should be able to work in the industry, or are we just adopting 18yo as the magic number where filming/profiting off it is allowed..

(I AM IN NO WAY IN SUPPORT OF PEOPLE UNDER 18yo WORKING IN THE INDUSTRY, JUST MAKING A POINT!)
