My answer is: exchaning sexual favors, as any other form of exchange
(sexual or otherwise), should be permitted under socialism. Socialism is
not to limit exchange (which is the nature oif human relationship) but to
prevent the concentration of wealth resulting from those exchanges in
private hands, and allow equitable distribution of that wealth among those
who produce it.
