That is making the assumption that pornography and prostitution only exist because people need food and shelter.
The rich porn stars (they do exist) would be a contradiction to this theory.
I agree. For some people, I think pornography and prostitution are their preferred jobs.in your scenario, they would be more empowered to speak up for themselves. Right now, with food and shelter being a concern, people may not always feel comfortable turning jobs down.
