Am I understanding your position right?
If you have 10 employees and say to 1 of them "have sex with me or you're fired" - that's coercion.
If you have 10 employees and say to each of them (separately) "have sex with me or you're fired" - also coercion.
If you have 10 employees and say to 5 "have sex with me or you're fired" and to the other 5 just "you're fired" - suddenly no longer coercion?

No, that's not it.
At its core, it's about whether you're trying to pressure them into sex with you.
I should have specifically said everyone gets the offer, to keep it simple. If the expectation is that basically everyone refuses, then it's not very different from walking around town and telling random people you'll hire them if they have sex with you. Which is just prostitution, not coercion.
Whether someone feels pressured is a difficult communication problem. It's hard to reduce to a simple thought experiment.
