    as far as I can tell, there is (officially, at least) no such thing as “publicly-funded” sex work… and that is unfortunate.

    You lost me.

      Due to both criminalization and demonization, sex workers are prevented from performing very necessary work in our society - such as being the only people that are qualified to perform sex education, for instance - so yes… it is quite unfortunate that sex work cannot be performed as a service to the public.

        Sex education is more about the changes your body goes through during puberty as well as how reproduction works. None of that is related to sex work. Sex work is about making people feel good.

          Sex education is more about the changes your body goes through during puberty as well as how reproduction works.

          That’s basic biology - not sex education. The fact that you can’t even discern the difference proves the point.
