they both have sex for money what the differance?
2007-03-29 07:40:03 · update #1
Because usually either (1) the porn star is not actually having sex, they are just making it look like they are, or (2) the contract specifies only payment for acting, and the sex is voluntary.
The illegal aspect of prostitution is the contractual exchange of sex for money. That's why going out on a date where one person pays everything, and then both have sex, is not prostitution. There is no contractual obligation to have sex.
In other words, they skirt the legal issues very carefully.

Not really hypocritical, because both parties (Or all parties in the film) are being paid to perform. Money is not being exchanged between the parties for the sexual act. Plus, when the parties involved are done with the act, a product will have been generated. Now If there wasn't any film in the camera, and people were being paid to perform live sexual acts for an audience that included penetration, then it would be illegal.

I have pondered this very question myself. I have no idea how the law has managed to over look this loophole for so long. My guess is that the porn industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and can afford lobbyist to keep it legal where as Jane Doe on the street corner is one person and probably bringing down less that $50,000.00 per year. Therefore she can't afford the lobbyist to start lobing to make prostitution legal.

Prostitution is out in the open and porn stars have sex in hidden locations.

Porn stars are prostitutes too, both male and female.

I never understood that one either. The only thing I can think of is that (maybe) the porn stars pay income taxes.

The difference is that porn studios check their actors and prevent the spread of disease...streetwalkers do not.
