I was intending to make a more general statement on the effects of the practice on all participants and in other industries. The disadvantage for being "not willing to engage" would be applied to those potential artists who refused the sexual advances of these people and were therefore passed over; despite potentially being a better candidate. I think you could even argue that there may be an element of coercion if the person was willing to engage originally. Now that your manager is responsible for your career are you really safe in saying no the second time? The question is really whether we're okay with allowing sexual favours to be placed over merit when accepting people into an industry. I think the answer is unequivocally no, even in industries where sex is the product.
