I don't disagree that selling sex doesn't involve economics and if we did a better job with the social safety net and funding education we could seriously reduce prostitution, even by those that one wouldn't suspect are selling their affections.
But because you tend to paint with a broad brush the task of eliminating human trafficking for sex become harder because people like you would have police resources going after the male of female Masters or Doctoral candidate that is freely selling sex to pay for education and housing instead of going after pimps that are forcibly holding women and girls against their will and forcing them to sell sex. You likely don't see a difference between the two situations, that is a societal problem, IMO.
