Every time I see one of those forms I feel like the hungry, desperate sex workers who "consent" to being degraded and humiliated so that they can feed their families for another day...

We say "yes," but the head shakes "no".

Just say no if you feel you shouldn't. It's not required to live -- it's required to get something from someone else that you want. You have agency (as does any sex worker who isn't being trafficked). It's absurd that you'd make the comparison between a family starving and you using a website, but it's even worse because you're pushing off the responsibility of your own actions onto anyone and everyone else.
