Wanting to get out of a pre-existing obligation that every man has, and most don't get out of, should not qualify as lack of consent.

The obligation itself already lacks consent so anything you feel forced to do to get out of it is similarly non-consentual.

If by "similarly" you mean "equally bad at most", then I can agree with that.

But I think most people would rate non-consensual sex as significantly worse than a non-consensual day job.

So if you say the sex on camera is not consensual, you're implying a very different kind of consent violation than is actually happening.

The argument here is non-consensual. No work is totally consensual, since you need to survive. You accept a life-long inconvenience in exchange for a beautiful house. Can we make sex consensual in exchange for a large enough inconvenience? The response lies in an experiment: Propose a menial job to prostitutes. Even at the same rate, most prefer their occupation. Therefore it’s consensual.

A funny quirk about non-consensual work is that the 1930’s ILO convention against slavery and forced work… excluded able-bodied men in age of working (article 11). Which kind of defeats the purpose of the convention.

This article was only abolished in 1957.

But compulsory military service still exists in probably half of the world countries.

What part of that isn't a lack of consent? Forced consent is not consent, their only other option was forced military service.
