The question isn’t whether if guides everyone to their best realities? Does it guide some people to their best realities?

I completely agree, but that applies to all jobs, and the welfare office dgaf about someone’s preferences on that level, or their feelings of uniqueness! 
In those circumstances with welfare conditionality, it’s down to losing the money which keeps food in your belly and roof over your head, if you don’t accept any job you’re able to physically do. No wiggle room.
As I said, highly qualified people who had great careers are often expected to take very unskilled work, even if it causes severe damage to their self-image.
If the job exists, and you’re offered it and refuse, no more money.
So why should sex work be any different, if it’s really just a job like any other?
I’m genuinely interested in your views, and happy to share my own later on.

I refuse to consider that healing.
It’s like putting a small patch on an open artery after a car accident.

Oh I think it’s very different and not like every other job lol and I think that hopefully that will be enough to disqualify it from the unemployment job list and we should deal with the negative stigma (regardless of how wrong it is) for the greater good

However I also will ad there are other jobs that are not like every other job as well that ARE on that unemployment list that probably need to not be counted as well

In the examples you can think of, do they share anything in common with sex work?

It is freelance work, and freelancing isn’t even presented as an option at welfare offices in my country.

I have read somewhere that, when we were still on Hunter-Gatherer way of living, dopamine was a hormone we would get when we would hunt something. And dopamine would ‘push’ us to hunt again. So it kind of worked as a prize. Nowadays, you can get this prize with a simple click. And then you will crave for more dopamine, you will watch porn more, and the story goes… After a while, in some cases, one starts to watch more degenerated kind of porn because normal ones dont give you much dopamine as before. Man I was an addict myself, its terrible. I can say it hurt me and my magick. Cant speak for everyone tho.

Hmmmmm
You know I think sex work only shares similarities in regards to freelancing but there are freelance jobs that count so I’m not to sure and will have to conduct research📚 to answer this effectively

Legal representation and government’s involvement has little to do with the overall ethics / health / value of sex work in society. You make a fair point that, in essence, if sex work is considered real work, shouldn’t someone be forced to accept a sex work position if it’s offered to them?
People are not qualified for every job they are offered. The question is, are you qualified to be a sex worker? Not everyone is, nor should everyone be.
As a society, it is important to factor in things like this since we’re trying to maintain laws for organization of a large population and not get too chaotic. That’s the battle of finding personal freedom amid social responsibility. Government involvement in civilian life and our legal systems is a complex conversation alone as it is.

Lol you are one fraction of the human population. You don’t have to!
I love how much people love to tell me how miserable and slowly declining I am. lol! If that’s true for you, then it is true for you. It is not true for me and many other friends of mine.

People in the UK are expected to apply to agencies like Manpower who then offer work to freelancers, and refusal to do that is treated the same as refusing any other job.
So in my scenario, that would equate to giving our jobless person the name of the local pimp or madam - so, the “freelance” thing doesn’t disqualify it at all.

I’m just saying when I was young teenager I wish someone would’ve told me the effects of it every year because it takes digging out to get your mental state from the effects of it
And here you are advocating how great it is when there’s people here telling you testimonies of the opposite , and supporting that point of view scientific evidence

Ooooooo I didn’t think qualifications!!! Probably more so on the healthy self image side but in my case I did not have that going in to the industry Soo would I have been disqualified and unable to go through a path of immense self healing had I been disqualified???
