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.
