A survey to assess what non sex workers think about sex work!

This survey is for people who have not done sex work themselves, to gauge both your opinions on sex work and how much you know about it! Click here to take it. (Closes August 21st 2025.)

Please share to get as much of a range in respondents as possible.

You are encouraged to answer these questions no matter your current level of knowledge or how strongly you hold to your positions. While you might feel compelled to look things up when answering these questions, it's ideal that you respond without doing so - you can always do some research after if these questions spark your interest.

Questions in this survey will also have an additional focus on trans and/or intersex sex workers, because information collected will be used to inform the themes for Transactional Intercourse, an anthology of trans and intersex sex workers' writing. Some parts of the anthology will be aimed at correcting misconceptions and addressing topics which are the most controversial, and to do that we need to have a clear idea of what those are.

A lot of otherwise intelligent people are scared to criticize chatGPT because they think there is an observed pattern in history where new technology is always either good or inevitable, and people who are skeptical of new technology always look like fools, and they are scared to look foolish when AI is The New Technology That Revolutionized Everything.

I am not scared of any of that nonsense. The first reason, is that chatGPT isn't a "new technology" at all, both because it is just a scaled-up version of stuff that already existed, and because "technology" implies a thing that does something useful and ChatGPT doesn't appear to do anything useful.

The second reason, is that the people frightened of looking like Luddites assume that because we are all alive, the feared bad outcomes of new technology have never happened, and that is just completely false. New technologies have sometimes had awful impacts upon human quality of life and the environment. Sometimes, unilaterally inferior technologies have replaced superior technologies for economic or other reasons. Almost always new technologies have a mix of positive and negative impacts.

In fact, I think the uncontrolled, rapid growth of generative AI and large language models is happening because of the common belief that "new technology" is always inevitable and good. This is a new technology, therefore "developing" it is inherently leading towards Something. But instead, the amount of resources and environmental and human devastation is simply accelerating and accelerating. The new technology takes everything and gives us nothing.
