She complies and takes off her clothes like it was no big deal? Wasn't she supposed to service the owner of that house? Who hired her and all those other women and how did they get so much money? Anyways, would be nice if all women were that easy and never questioned what a man told them to do (especially women as beautiful as she was) ;).

Hey, it's Charlton Heston. Enough said.
1. For once, a guy she was actually interested in wanted to get it on with her, so she was happy to comply.
2. In the 2022 of this film, there's no such thing as women's rights.
3. She was simply furniture.
Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!
Same thing happens when cops show up at a brothel these days
shareThe film is obvious that she is simply furniture and will bed anyone at a moment's notice, particularly a cop. It is only late in the film that Thorn begins to regard her as more than furniture and as a person with whom he may "have a future". The plot does not permit this outcome, of course. That Furniture services men with little prior consideration is shown by Connor's own furniture, who suggests that she would have serviced Heston, and Heston casually lets her know that he'd have asked "if I had the time". That's just the way of Furniture in the film.
shareNot uncommon for films of that era. The leading man often gets a "wham bam thank you mam" from the obligatory hottie. It was almost a necessary plot ingredient, often involving a middle age actor with box office appeal, and a no name actress in her 20's.

My question is what did they use for birth control? If a guy can just say get into the bedroom how do the furniture girls keep from getting knocked up since who would want to bring a child into that world. If there is no food how is there birth control? Anyway, look at that apartment, so cool, I would be a furniture girl and Hesston is so cool in this movie.
shareThere are a dozen ways of having birth control even now. The most sure fire way would be to have her tubes tied. Only a condom would half way protect you from AIDS unless it breaks.
I don't know everything. Neither does anyone else
There was no AIDS when this movie was made. "AIDS was first clinically observed in 1981 in the United States." (Wikipedia)
shareClearly, there was little birth control because of the overpopulation. But Furniture girls probably had some or had their tubes tied.
