I believe that prostitutes, porn stars, and other jobs which directly relate to selling the body SHOULD be treated as equals in society. CMV.

I hold my view that a porn star, a prostitute, someone who designs sex toys, etc, all people of this manner (clarity: Someone who sells their body or spends their career directly in this business (e.g. a prostitute and 'procurer' (pimp) respectively)) should be treated just like any other job where it is legal, because I believe that the selling of their body is just equivalent to someone selling their mind or any other skill. A scientist is paid merely for his mental work. A footballer is primarily and sometimes only paid for their physical skill in their respective field. So why can't a porn star be treated to at least a relative level of societal respect for their sexual skill? Some of them work extremely hard at their jobs, and gain extreme prowess in sexual areas.

E.G.: A prostitute is someone who you don't trust, don't go near (unless for the obvious), and someone who is generally looked upon as inferior and menial in society. The same applies for some porn stars: in Boogie Nights, a good example is when a retired porn star attempts to start a business, but is unable to because nobody will give loans with his history as 'a pornographer.' Nothing illegal, no robberies, just pornography. While I doubt today is not as strict as the world back then, some businesses are still this judgmental. 

Please Reddit, CMV.

Every profession has a certain image, not just sexworkers. Plumbers aren't as respected as brain surgeons. The reasons sexworkers are on the lower end of this spectrum are, for example, that they didn't have to get any degree and that they often have connections to criminality.
