Yes, imagine very deeply what it would be like if colleges had women majoring in sex work……  Picture it in your head…..

Hopefully the fact that actually doing sex work is a better way of learning it is what would prevent colleges from doing that, unless the government somehow required all prostitutes to get a $200,000 degree at a top university in order to get a job. (I guess if freelance prostitutes were banned and they could only work for large corporations that could theoretically happen, if respectability for brothels were really important and the demand were strangled somehow?)

If sex work were fully legalized you’d totally see some kind of Juillard for Courtesans but the graduates from would make eight figures so who cares

You might see some sort of lower-key credentialist gatekeeping as the industry professionalized, like with cosmetology, but I can’t imagine it’d go too far given how entrenched sex work is as DIY employment. I could see that happening for prodommes and other sorts of “complex/risky” sex work, though, like after a scandal hits the news about someone who gave a handjob wrong and made someone’s dick explode

Charm school. You are reinventing charm school.
