This is a good answer as far as it goes, but the book is about male entitlement. The more interesting question about sex work is does it imply an objectionable entitlement to sex? This seems like a hard problem for Manne's framework, especially considering male sex workers. 2/
Similarly, Manne sends a footnoted "pace Srinivasan" to @amiasrinivasan's truly outstanding essay on the question "Does anyone have a right to sex?" I would love to read Manne's considerations on it. 3/ lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v40/…
