Neither. Unless they're being forced to do it (which unfortunately does happen), then it's degrading.

It depends on what work is being done, how the worker feels about it personally, and the environment in which it is being performed. I don't think it can inherently be seen as one way or the other.

I don't think it's up to me to decide that.

I think the nature of the act has some bearing. I dont think anyone is getting empowered by getting pissed on.

Seems a little unrefined, but its work and I dont see why it should be treated as degrading. Theres a market for it and it can be done safely, so whats the problem?

I do think sex work (like a lot of other occupations) can shape how you view yourself and your self worth if it's all you do for a long time

It depends on the context. If there is coercion involved, if the work conditions are poor, then it is degrading. If the performer(s) has/have control over their labor, then it can be empowering.

In other words, it's work.

I have 3 female friends who have done it, all said it wore them down eventually and they were thankful to eventually quit

Anecdotal but I really wouldn't be surprised if it was miserable. There'd be so many weird guys being creepy and disrespectful to you all the time

Yeah but there really arent many jobs that dont wear you down and everybody is thankful when they quit them

I guess you're right. But a lot of customers think because they're paying you a bit of money they can do or say whatever they want you. One of the 3 was just a topless waitress at bachelor parties and got groped all the time and asked for sex even though the guys were always informed no touching before hiring her(or at least the guy organising the party was told, but maybe they never bothered informing their friends)

One was a camgirl and an escort and constantly got pressured into bending back her boundaries and to do things she didn't like doing in her personal sex life. She said it made her forget how to enjoy regular sex while dating

I think it can all be far more traumatic then typical job issues and I wouldn't be surprised if that was the norm. There are probably really respectful customers too but it only takes one horrible sex experience to do series mental damage

Thats why it needs to be normalized, organized, and empowering.

the way it is now is not how it should be

This. All employment is selling your body and time for money.

Like with most jobs, it depends.

And largely depends on the customers/bosses of your job.

I agree. But isn't this topic whether it's degrading or empowering right now? If the situation changed, I'd have a different opinion

This.

Except I also think it depends equally on the person doing its perspective.
