Prostitution ceases to be prostitution and becomes “sex work.” Moreover, earning money from one’s sexuality is portrayed as a job like any other. The left and the media that follow it are trivializing the serious social problem of selling one’s body.

“No one believed me that I had such a client who brought me canisters of gasoline. He worked for a state-owned company and had a fuel allowance. When he got more than he needed, he refuelled my car in front of my building,” this is how the confession of “sex worker” Ola begins the report published by the gazeta.pl portal. The text has an unusually telling title: “Work like any other.” “Every day Ola starts by feeding her two cats. Both of them come to her. Then she either goes to the gym, where she has a personal trainer, or directly to her rented apartment, where she works. She has been in the business for a few months. She claims that in a ‘good month’ she earns up to 100,000 PLN [app. €22,500, ed.]. She wants to have enough money as soon as possible to buy an apartment in Zakopane and have, as she puts it, ‘passive income’. She previously worked in a bank, and is a lawyer by trade,” we read.
Once a bank employee and now a “sex worker,” thanks to her new profession she sometimes earns as much in a day as she did before for a whole month. Another of the protagonists, Joanna, is fed up with the taboo of prostitution in Poland (the word is used only once in the report, in a rather negative context; the left promotes the phrase “sex work”). “I love people. I believe that you can find something unique in everyone. And I would very much like to de-demonize sex work in Poland,” the woman hopes. Joanna sells videos over the Internet, and also meets clients in person. She assures that she maintains the necessary security measures – she doesn’t make appointments at home, she doesn’t give out her real data. She makes no secret of the fact that “sex work” brings her not only money, but also satisfaction: “The joy on their faces is like a shot of dopamine for me. When a client comes to me who hasn’t had sex in 20 years, and is happy after the meeting… that’s a wonderful feeling.”
The third protagonist of the report, Zoja, raises the formal aspect of her “profession.” “She would prefer sex work to be legal.”
