Hare Krishna, my humble obeisances.

As a young man, I am constantly taught the importance of Brahmacharya and to withdraw the senses from lusty images,videos, sounds and thoughts so as to not be attached to this material world and be reborn in a lower species. I completely agree to this and have stopped watching porn, even watching Movies, Music which have sexual suggessions or social media creators who sell sex or are being suggestive. After a few years of this I feel very much purified and attracted more and more to Kirtans and Hari katha, but I can also see it is sooo difficult to escape sexual imagery as it is everywhere.

I was curious what is the karmic reaction of people who sell sex or sexual imagery with the intention of making money. Is their karma nullified because they see it as a buissness transsaction?

In todays world of social media and with websites like onlyfans, young girls are millionaires selling their body online. Many women are convinced, also some of my friends who are actually good people at heart, that if you want fame on social media you have to be sexually suggestive and wear smaller or tight fitting clothes. 

If you run after lust you are bound to a worse fate in this world after death.

But what is your fate if you sell lust? or delibrately increase lust in people? to gain money or fame? 

The main answer I get that it is a legitimate buissness transaction, so these activities do not incur bad karma. This answer did not sit right with me, so I have come here to ask

Thank you for your patience and time!
sorry if I have offended anyone,
Haribol.
