I have taken the precaution of spell checking this post
 
Joy is NOT calling anyone a "sexual receptacle" she is saying that that is how people involved in the sex industry are being used  which is quite different , its also how the capitalists who run the sex industry  and the customers of the sex industry see
sex workers especially female sex workers.  
 

 You  have failed to address in any way the question of misogyny 

without which there would be no demand for prostitution or porn
Why are you so sure such attitudes would persists in a future Society , thereby creating the demand for "Voluntary"  sex work ?

I am more concerned however about the present (2009)
Today Joy pointed out to me that Just down the road from
 where I live there is a large poster advertising cosmetic surgery for Woman and promoting the idea of this being a good(and no doubt as a subtext necessary)  thing 
My res pone ?  " In 2009"  ( I also plan to subvert that particular ad)
 
This is another example of misogyny the idea
 that women need to have cosmetic surgery to improve themselves for the benefit of men
 
Your whole position fails to address the question of
 why such attitudes persist and how to educate against them,
you seem
to want to accommodate them and then spin them out
 using the language of freedom and choice and accusing
 those who disagree
of opposing those things and being anti sex to boot

Why are you calling human beings (prostitutes and other sex workers) 'sexual
receptacles'? I think that fits even your definition of sexual harassment.
