    Why dont you create your own instance and write your own rules, if you dont like the exisiting ones?

    Emphasis mine.

    Sex work does not only include prostitution, which usually means selling intercourse with physical contact. It also includes many sexual services not related to physical contact.

      You wont know unless you try. I wont get into an argument on this topic, but I would not mind federating with such an instance, as long as it doesnt have advertising/spam.
