A few years ago I saw a Twitter post highlighting 2 studies asking sex workers if they had been the victim of childhood sexual assault. One study reported 70% responded ‘yes’. The 2nd study reported 90%.
If 70-90% of people working in AI had been the victim of childhood sexual assault, we would question WTF was going on. Yet ‘sex work’ gets a pass.

1) Sex work is largely criminalized around the world today.
2) Yes, childhood sexual abuse (again, also a crime) is associated with both hypo and hyper sexuality. Hypersexual individuals are more likely to engage in sex work.

Gets a pass on what? Asking "what is going on" with the correlation? Is it mysterious? It's very unclear what you're trying to say.

It gets a pass because there are far too many men out there who self-servingly advocate for this form of paid rape.
