Not literally forcing, because like you said you wouldn't do it if it was just outright too smut ridden for you. But even if you agree you make it sound like you still dislike mild nudity, and thus will still dislike doing the commission. Art shouldn't be forced, it doesn't feel like art anymore. Asking an artist to do something they don't enjoy doing generally makes any commissioner feel uncomfortable. So if you don't want to do something, then why not just not do it instead of saying basically that the option is there, but you not going to enjoy it doing it.
It's like if I was some little kid and I was Michael Jordan's biggest fan and I won some contest and I get to shoot hoops with him for a day, but then he says "Yeah ok...I'll do it...I don't like to play basketball anymore, but I'll do it...I GUESS..."
Sorry if I'm being too critical, but it might be something you want to consider.

Unfortunately, the way the world works, we can't always get paid to do stuff that we like or want.
