how would it be interpreted as prostitution? the close analogue is porn stars right

Porn comes from pornē, Greek for prostitute. So at least etymologically (and arguably logically as both involve sex for money) porn is prostitution.

If that’s accepted, then I find it hard not to also accept OF as a form of prostitution.

  • School comes from skholē, Greek for "leisure" or "spare time.".

    Therefore people can't be stressed for finals at university, since it's all leisure!

    “Etymologically, X comes from Y, therefore X is a form of Y” is quite the jump in logic...
