Yes, indeed it is. My comment is so politically incorrect that I dare not make it in real life. Yet I suspect that plenty of people (though probably not the majority) would agree, but can't speak out about it.

The question is what proportion of sex workers truly, voluntarily, entered that profession (i.e. had viable access to alternatives, and chose not to pursue it).

It's a lot less then 100%.

Is there a profession where answer is 100%?

There aren't that many professions where we ask you to trade an intimate act involving your own body.

Maybe the military, but you know, conscription is also kind of a big deal for that reason.

Any professional sport also comes to mind. Especially full contacts. But there the risk reward ratio seems to be greater.

"politically incorrect" is one way to describe your apparent belief that men are owed sex slaves, yes.
