To be a bit stunned by Lily Allen’s new album

Oooofff. I mean it might as well be called Fuck You David Harbour, You Cheating Bastard. Safe to say she’s set a new bar for diaristic songwriting. I feel so sad for her, I know she’s not everyone’s favourite person but it’s always been clear that all she wanted was to love and be loved and she seemed so happy with him- he popped up on her podcast with Miquita Oliver a few times and seemed so genuine in the way he spoke about her… for it to all collapse in such spectacularly public and hideous fashion must have been awful to endure, so I don’t blame her for working through it by going back to what she does best but still… blimey. I feel like I’ve been spying in their bedroom or something after listening to it!

I don’t know, they’re your organs 🤷‍♀️ and it’s your body. I don’t think prostitution is ideal for most people, but I do feel like if people stopped moralising about it and recognised that it actually happens and regulated it, sec workers would be lots less likely to get trafficked, hurt, abused or killed.

People don't sell their organs, or their bodies, unless they are desperate. And when people are desperate they are taken advantage of and abused.

There are obviously some exceptions, but the women who are in command who have chosen that life are not the ones who have to be protected. You have to be quite delusional to think that prostitution can ever be healthy for a woman.

I am genuinely curious how people get through life with such poor reading comprehension skills and understanding of nuance as have been demonstrated on this thread.

I didn’t say it’s healthy for women who haven’t chosen that life at all, that’s abuse. I said it happens and that I don’t believe it’s all exploitation. What about onlyfans? Is it only certain exceptions who aren’t forced into it? Where does the line get drawn? Is it only women who are having actual sex with men that are being exploited for the most part? What about Bonnie Blue, is she exploiting men or are they exploiting her? What about when she’s out at universities looking for barely legal guys? I know that’s not the norm, but it’s not always straightforward and I don’t think there’s a one reason fits all as to why people get into sex work. I’m not trying to say it’s wrong or right that people do it, but I’m just really on the side of making it safe and legal so that people are as protected as possible and are less vulnerable to being abused.

Obviously onlyfans is the milder end of the sex industry, however I wouldn't be too sure that everybody who does it, does it exclusively of their own free will.

If my daughter had an onlyfans I wouldn't criticise, I wouldn't judge, certainly not from a moral standpoint. However I wouldn't be "happy" about it either, I would be concerned for her future mental health and self esteem. I think Bonnie Blue is being exploited and is setting herself up for a difficult time ahead, money isn't everything.

However, as you said earlier, everyone has different opinions, and it's getting off the point of the thread.

I think a discussion about Lily Allen and her ex husband's Pussy Palace might be more than I can take on a Monday morning 😏

Shut the front door - she’s a mother in her 40’s - she doesn’t actually sing the lyric ‘pussy palace’ does she??
Stone the crows what a cringe fest for the kids
I’m all for taking inspiration from real life but Amy Winehouse/Adele, Lily Allen is not…
Neither the voice nor the nuance or wit…

I think someone must be pretty stupid to view reading comprehension as a life survival skill, yes.

I think that some people need money and some people need sex and when you put those things together people get what they need. And if you make it legal and safe then everyone can do the thing they’ve been doing since the beginning of time and sex workers are less likely to get hurt or killed. So yeah, I’m in favour of prostitution. But you clearly aren’t, so why not? I’m very curious.

Almost everyone needs money. No one needs sex.

You would think that this part wouldn't need to be explained but here we are.

I think Lily and David have been and still are messed up in various ways. You can judge one or either, it doesn't matter, they won't be any different as a result of what we think. The point for me has to be is it good art? And yes, I think it is. Very catchy, especially P*y Palace. Maybe not one to play in front of the kids though...

Do you honestly believe that no-one is forced into doing OF.
There are very vulnerable people on only fans, the average earner earns fuck all and opts for more degrading act's for money. @Arcadiusdonk
Shitting in a bottle, massaging in shit, the amount of weird kinks on OF plus desperate women trying to earn a few hundred.
You seem to only consider high earning OF members and independent prostitutes when both are only a tiny part of the business.

Why is LA "messed up", she is a very fortunate person, it comes across as artificial because "good art" IMO, is about genuine struggles not fake ones.

I didn't say she was sweet. I didn't say I liked her. I didn't say being damaged was an excuse for doing bad things. This is all projection.

Why is she "damaged".or is this just an affectation? I think that pretence is a useless tool as it appears like a checklist of wo s and struggles that ahe believes you have to have for 'good art', those struggles only work as an artistic device when they are authentic. If she is a good singer then why not just run with that?
