  Forced? They’re already making a shitload of money, they just want more.

  There are real people forced into sex work, this isn’t an example of that.

    Whatever replace “forced” with “coerced” or “pressured” if you don’t like that word. Doesn’t change the fact that young women are taking up sex work for financial stability when they shouldn’t have to.

      young women are taking up sex work for financial stability when they shouldn’t have to.

      This is true, and depressing.

      But I think Kate Nash and Lilley Allen pros have other options to raise cash here - I doubt OF is a last resort for them. It is, however, a headline grabber for the British gutter press and will generate a lot of cover for two artists who really don’t have a huge amount of space in the public consciousness these days.

      For what it’s worth, there are also some sex workers who do it because a)they enjoy it and b)it’s a faster way to make money than other avenues available to them. Nash and Allen both seem to fallm under this bracket.
