Ftr Incels exist in Australia and they have a red light district.

Incels don’t want to pay for sex.

Don’t get me wrong, I think it should be legal too if for no other reason that it makes it safer for the sex workers.

But just manage your expectations of what sexual deviants expect as Sex work doesn’t put an end to that part of the equation. Buying sex is still available even if illegal and you’re still going to have sexual deviants,psychopaths and incels. For Those groups in particular it is less about sex and more about power (and often hatred for women) hence the toxic energy they bring into sex.

Another issue for some deviants is sex workers carry a degree of consent. And shitheads like that aren’t looking for consent.

incels may not be seeking for paid sex as much as they want more power top relationship towards women(or feel entitled to) but they are unwilling to work on their personality. So their problem stems not from sex but more from their personality and feeling unloved with the sex they feel entitled to combined into that.

You don’t bring that kind of hate energy for an entire gender just over being horny.

If you want to deal with a problematic group, in this case incels, I don't think it's generally helpful to consider them a monolith. There's different clades in these types of groups that have different views and motivations. I think you're probably right, I did set my expectations too high there, but I do think that there's some quantum of incels who really do end up getting into the toxic shit because of the sexual frustration. I think it's probably much fairer to say that you could defuse at least a meaningful number of incels with legal sex work.

I don't doubt that some get into problematic shit due to sexual frustration (and inability to cope), but that doesn't mean getting laid is what they need first. They need to learn to cope with sexual frustration, get out of the problematic shit, then getting laid would be nice.

Incels also tend to behave poorly when they do interact with sex workers.
