Indeed, as I clarified under another comment

Tbh I know little about the topic and was under the (maybe wrong) impression than many sex workers are poor people that need to do it to survive. But then I guess the issue I was pointing is more about our capitalist society than about sex work

That I cannot say, and seeing as in the vast majority of the US it is illegal, all we have is supposition unfortunately

Labor as coerced selling of one’s body is an interesting view.

That's literally all work in capitalism. You use your time and body to do things for other people in exchange for money. We're all prostitutes, only a few of us have sex for it.
