Idk what the fuck Twitter is on about because I’ve been aggressively avoiding it but the Netherlands has had a formal program supporting disabled people who otherwise have great difficulty in finding satisfying intimate and sexual relationships to get some nookie. It’s been a thing for years, it’s been widely debated and argued about, there are professionals and advocates and everything.

Read up, I guess.

Isnt this actually that it is allowed to use your disability benefits on sexworkers rather than mutual aid?

My understanding is that there are professional sex carers or something that help disabled people with intimacy and sex. It goes beyond just going to the red light district, there are extra ethical concerns and practices, thought about how consent applies to people with various forms of diminished capacity, stuff like that. I got the impression that people were mostly yelling at each other about semantics rather than actually talking about sex work for social benefit.

There’s also a theoretical distinction between the discourse I was hiding from yesterday and what the Netherlands are doing. They’re positioning sex and intimacy as core human experiences that everyone should be able to enjoy, and there are professionals who are trying to help people who have difficulty with that get sex and intimacy. It goes beyond purely transactional sex work to something based on compassion and creating a social benefit. Closer to mutual aid than just paying for sex.
