No because 14 is not old enough to make an informed decision about that and involving the parents will increase the likelihood that they will pressure their kid into doing it for the money.

The thing that gets me is even when you up the age to 16, a common age of consent, you still have consent issues. 10 million dollars creates a consent issue for any poor person of any age. Are they truly making a choice? And I get that this is what sex workers already face.

But for fuck's sake our society seems far more willing to entertain this than just having a society where nobody needs sex work to not starve.

Once one is of a consenting age, sex work is just work

The better question to ask is if it's morally acceptable to force someone to work to not starve? And then there's the whole exploitation of the global south thing.

And at least personally, I'd much rather do sex work than be a coal miner
