Could you pleade make me understand the meaning of the sentence below especially after " than it does" ?

I think it has more to do with willing giving up control of their body to someone else than it does with being forced to have fun.

The sentence is not correct. My assumption is that "willing" should be "willingly". The overall structure is "I think it has more to do with X than it does with Y".

  • The sentence is not correct.
  • My assumption is that "willing" should be "willingly".
  • The overall structure is "I think it has more to do with X than it does with Y".
  • The author is saying that X is more relevant to "it" (something previously mentioned) than Y is.
  • X = willingly giving up control of their body to someone else Y = being forced to have fun
