Summary:In this interview, we discuss Flanigan's libertarian defense of the decriminalization of sex work. One core argument is that restrictions on the sale and purchase of sex violate the rights of sex workers. The reasoning is this. Since people have the right to choose whatever job they want, and since people have the right to decide whom to have sex with, it follows that people have the right to sell sex.
