If it was Sonata I’d say it was practically guaranteed but for Aria I’m never sure with that attitude. Though as I recall She hasn’t said no to any suggestion Yet.
Closest was perhaps when Smoothie and the Green Dude were playing with her boobs, and she suggested they have sex with each other instead of with her.

I’ve heard enough different things about how best to deal with the legality of sex work that I don’t feel qualified to have an opinion about the right approach…other than the standard thing of criminalization being bad.
So I suppose what I meant to indicate was “there exits in Equestria some sort of legal/regulatory framework in which sex work can be practiced in a safe and ethical manner” while hoof-waving away the details. :)
prostitution is legal…but regulated, presumably primarily to protect people from possible exploitation or unsafe working conditions.
That tends not to work as well as you’d think it should. In Amsterdam they want to do away with the regulated red light district not due to prostitution, but because it’s become a tourist attraction, with too many drunken louts wandering around causing problems. In the Phillipines prostitution managed to be both illegal and regulated, which did mean mandatory weekly heath exams, but didn’t really work to prevent exploitation.
The best system seems to be what Canada and the Nordic countries do - prostitution is legal, but pimping, whorehouses, streetwalking, etc are not. So a woman (or, I guess, a guy) has the right to profit from their body if they choose, without all the negative side effects.
Well, that confirms we’re dealing with reformed Starlight and that she’s here as part of… er I mean, definitely not part of any magical gem research Twilight might be doing.
Certainly not. And this additional research undoubtably has no connection with the beepy box from the other series - I suspect that, having sucked a bunch of energy out of Fruitbox, Twilight then discovered she didn’t know how to get it back out of the beepy box. Hence the need for more research.
No technically needed. Porn actors get paid to have sex but they aren’t prostitutes. In fact, that’s basically what’s about to happen here. It’s just the audience is paying to see it live instead of the recording.
This gets into a very weird and poorly defined part of the law. In general, in the US it’s illegal to pay to watch someone have sex (it might be legal in San Francisco, laws are different there). Porn is OK because you’re not actually watching people, you’re watching a video (film, photo, whatever). Swingers clubs are sort of OK (depending on where you are) because in theory you’re not paying to watch, you’re paying to be in a room with a bunch of consenting adults who may or may not have sex with you (or let you watch, or whatever). Strip clubs are OK (again depending on where you are) because you’re just paying to watch a naked lady, not any sort of sex.

All of which kind of shows the absurdity of making some kinds of sex work illegal and not others. Hence the comment about “the usual regulations”, implying that in Equestria, prostitution is legal (I mean, it’d have to be. That’s technically what JB is doing) but regulated, presumably primarily to protect people from possible exploitation or unsafe working conditions.
Maybe a little utopian, but it pleases me to have the setting be a little more sane than our own, in that area.

it’s technically not prostitution.

Ah, yes, the old “my tits are great and all, but have you considered getting buggered?”
My point exactly. You can’t predict What she’ll do so long as it’s what She wants.
