It's commodification of (mostly) women's bodies, it supports and spread the idea that women's bodies are a thing that can be bought, most of the women who work in that trade are suffering for emotional and mental trauma and often physical violence, and in general we don't believe that consent can be bought.

Just because a bunch of women feel "empowered" by it, it doesn't mean that the practice is healthy and should be supported. Not to mention, the only ones who have some kind of liberty about choosing their partners are the ones who don't need the money to begin with.

A better question is, why are liberal feminists so in love with prostitution and pornography when they jump to attack objectification at any given chance? Pornography and prostitution are objectification taken up to eleven, it literally is reducing women's bodies to a tool for men's arousal/sexual pleasure, but they are awesome, while, say, an actress in a movie wearing a bikini out of nowhere is the ultimate sin.
