Comments  20 or 30 years ago from three German girls in different brothels when asked why they were there: (1) when told prostitution was illegal in Canada: "That's outrageous. It's my body, and I do what I want with it." (2) "It's a nice way to relax after a week in the office, and make a little money into the bargain." (3) "The money's good and I get to have sex with a lot of nice men." I don't think they were coerced. But then the German authorities are (were?) pretty quick to shut down activities that did involve coercion.
