Do you think it's OK for a woman to be paid to be sexually tortured with needles, nails, fire, electricity, suffocation, and whips to the point of getting welts and bleeding?

Would you feel better if she did this for free?

While I'm not sure it would make it OK by me, I do think it would make a big difference. With respect to the libertarian argument about consent, there would be no question that a woman doing such things for free wasn't doing it because of financial coercion or desperation, though there would still be the question of other forms of coercion. For example, a Japanese drama I once watched had a scene playing on the reputation the yakuza has in Japan for forgiving debt for women who can't pay back loan shark loans if she'll make a porn movie for them. Not sure if that really happens or how often it happens, but I don't think that qualifies as "consensual" any more than statements hostages make seemingly willingly are "consensual".
