By Amelia Gentleman

As a business journalist, Nilsson began rigorously reporting on the power players of the adult industry, who prefer to remain in the shadows. Along the way, she uncovered how porn has shaped the internet – and our lives as a whole

When I comment on sex work-related news, it usually gets ranty fast, and with good reason…

So, particularly after the recent stream of much worse news, I'm highlighting a lighter one:

[H/t @ljwrites; RE: https://writeout.ink/@ljwrites/117239080037424065]

To be clear, there IS whorephobia on the article. After all, it's a first contact (not an analysis) with prostitution and it's context around the 16th century's Venice and focusing on the upper-class one… the were severe prejudices at the time, and they are plastered pretty plainly.

The article does remarkably steer away of the pity porn so usual when talking about these things; arguably though it does go a little too far and into glamourizing its topics, which is also… not ideal, when said topics are class and specifically sex work.

Nevertheless, it serves as a nice enough intro to the social context, it's not a hard read, and as noted, does avoid one set of stigmatization sources — all of which very welcome.
