There's a large literature about "lacking in choice." There's a full  
range of stories, from very willing to highly reluctant. Most are not  
destitute, however - kind of like the U.S. military. And another angle  
is thinking that there's something particularly awful about sex work,  
as opposed to working in garment or solid waste.

But our fireman-in-chief sez no more. So I'll stop.
