Temporarily Yours: Intimacy, Authenticity, and the Commerce of Sex Book

Picked up because 'labor of love' by moira weigel described sex work as anticipating broader trends in the economy and cited 'temporarily yours' as an example of this. i enjoyed 'temporarily yours' a lot and now have a bunch of arlie hochschild and erving goffman on my reading list. academic sociology just hits. re: weigel's point that sex work often leads economic trends, it seems pretty reasonable to see onlyfans, etc, as anticipating what li jin et al. calls the passion economy. i am curious if anyone has tried to derive prognostic or (strategic) forecasting insights from this kind of leading the general economy, and what other economies might also precede the general economy
