Just saw a tiktok where a girl referred to herself as a mattress actress and for the first 2 mins I genuinely thought she did commercials for like Tufts & Needles or smthg

The normalization of sex work among gen z is something I’ve never seen before. 

I recall a hooker saying once the biggest problem for them is they used to rely on their clothes (or lack thereof) to signal their work but it’s now hard to tell them apart from any other girl at night going to a party. I think about that on occasion

the normalization of barely there clothing / bathing suits, accessibility of only fans, mattress actresses now, i don’t know it makes me sad? maybe im just a prude

I’ve been thinking about this recently after watching the documentary The Century of the Self.

In it, they talk about how a guy that convinced women it was cool to smoke. 

It makes me wonder if there is anything left to be made cool?
