The laws against the hobby do not reflect a moral absolute like those prohibiting rape, murder or other crimes inflicted upon someone against their consent...even within the US there is legal hobbying and is left to the states to regulate. For me, most of the laws against it represent a form of oppression limiting the basic right to "autonomy of self" and the ability of women to exercise agency over their own bodies (not to be confused with situations where participation is coerced..which is heinous). While I will never hold my breath for the legal landscape to change, I don't feel any moral conflict in not complying with unjust laws. History is filled with examples of laws that promoted oppressive, unjust and plain evil agendas. Providing undertaken by all parties of their own free wills can be as honorable as any other endeavor.
As for military service...aside from a minor consideration that any violation of law is potentially prejudicial to service...there's no real conflict between service and getting serviced. The oath is to support and defend the US Constitution which is silent on the topic of hobbying...
