Um, what? What??? No. You're way, way off mark there. There is no equivalent whatsoever between what is meant as *positive* feedback on erotic fiction and likening an *individual's* behaviour/preferences to that of a sex worker (complete with a strongly implied moral judgement on sex workers).
If you are a writer of erotic fiction who is unhappy that your work might be praised as being "filthy" - and it *is* a term of praise in this context - then maybe you need to take it up with your readers. Otherwise, I can't help but feel you are being really rather judgmental about how a large number of posters are choosing to express their sincere enjoyment of some excellent fic.
If your point is that we should all be more open about our enjoyment of Napoleonic-era buggery fic, then fine, bully for you, go for it - but I'd rather my co-workers/my mother/the world at large didn't know about my addiction, tbh.
