It's a crappy argument IMO. In most cases rape has very little to do with sex. Conventional theory on this used to be rapist fell into one of three basic categories:
Power, Anger and Sadistic
Power and anger each making up about 45% of all rape while sadistic roughly 10% (don't quote me on these numbers, it's been a while) Of course these numbers and "types" don't account for things like date, spousal, prison rape etc... but there are those out there that don't place these sexual offenses in the rape category.
Rape is a power and control thing, paying a hooker to blow you usually isn't.
As for your other comments. I'd hope the regulations in place for those in the sex industry would safe guard workers at least as well as OSHA does for any other industry.
