argues, "Criminalizing adult, voluntary, and consensual sex — including the commercial exchange of sexual services — is incompatible with the human right to personal autonomy and privacy."Here in Miami, decriminalization is a long way off, according to Mai. Because of the stigma around sex work, politicians don't want to be associated with the industry, Mai said, adding that even progressive organizations distance themselves from the group.
"We have the right use our bodies any way we choose, including selling sex," Mai said. "It's the laws and the police that need to change — not us.""I've had normal jobs," Mai said. "But sex work has always been the thing to get me over the poverty line."With inflation squeezing households, Mai said more people are turning to sex work and adult content sites likeMai said it's becoming increasingly difficult to find work.
