When a country's factories disappear, brothels become the substitute industry. It sounds exciting, but it's actually cold, hard economics. Why do developed countries like Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands legalize sex work and allow it to be a profession? Many people think it’s about being 'open,' but in reality, it’s driven by necessity.

Don’t forget:
It’s often feminists, not male beneficiaries, who advocate for legalization. They argue for bodily autonomy — but that's just the surface reason. The real underlying logic is 'de-industrialization' + 'employment gap' + 'social welfare bottleneck.'
When a country transforms into a high-end economy, manufacturing and labor-intensive jobs are outsourced, leaving only high-tech positions that ordinary people can't fill.
If you lack the education, don’t have the skills, and the factories are gone, you can only survive through low-skill service jobs.
Although there is social security, you will find that:
Being able to afford food ≠ Living with dignity
You may be wealthier than before, but you are still far behind those around you.
At this point — sex work becomes a form of 'active choice.' The same applies to flower picking:
Working in a factory earns 3000 per month, or 3000 per session?
Although the former is legal, the latter is tempting. You don’t have to say it, you understand. So stop asking 'Why is it legal?' and start asking:
Why are more and more people left with no choice?
Developed countries weigh:
The turmoil brought by 'mass unemployment'
vs
The order stability brought by 'a few selling their bodies'
The answer is clear. Laws are not tailored for idealists.
They are products of power and capital, selectively protecting order while selectively ignoring dignity. Those who truly have 'the right to choose' have never been the poor.
