I think I finally get why libertarians have a boner, so to speak, for legalizing prostitution. That's the ultimate expression of adding elasticity to the labor market, and vastly more people could be participating in that market than do now. It makes such claims about there being infinite work to do ever so much more believable.

No, you don't "get" it. Libertarians just don't think it's the state's place to decide the conditions under which consenting adults have sex.
Forcing people to relate exclusively under free market rules is very much deciding the conditions under which consenting adults have sex.
The absence of government regulation is not the same thing as "forcing" anything.
