I prefer not to use the "sex worker" euphemism. Those who have exited this abusive industry often refer to it as paid rape, so I follow their lead on this.

Also in fact it is often not even a bribe, in cases of sex slavery and human trafficking. The john is paying someone else to organize the rape for him.

That seems like a biased sample. People who exit are obviously people who didn't want to be in the industry. Try talking to people in it willingly.
Why are people so quick to remove all agency from women?

I find it hard to believe these women have no other options than to sell their body.
