Sex work etc is not selling the body as no organs etc are usually collected.
Also sex work has existed before money. It is a legitimate form of work, nurturing, care and a vital function of society, it's only 'bad' because of laws against it and cultural attitudes, people should have the right or not to choose to pursue it if that is what they wish, for whatever reason.
Also also, most people don't make that much money from it, so it's likely not always for that reason alone.
I agree that sex work is real work. I will even further agree that some people do it because they enjoy it but counter that some men shovel coal in mines because they enjoy how it makes their bodies feel (big, strong, etc) and just like sex workers they might not make much money doing so.
My point was more that we should not consider being able (or forced) to make a living a in a particular job a blessing but take a moment to reflect and extend empathy towards others.
