What’s the difference between prostitution and someone that participates in a porno?

Why is one legal and one is not?

In the United States I can't really come up with a good answer other than one is being filmed and one is not.

PROSTITUTION IS ADVERTISING YOURSELF IN PUBLIC? I THINK THAT MIGHT BE THE DIFFERENCE.


NOT SURE THOUGH.

One is being paid for pleasure, and the other is providing virgins educational material. I think we can all agree that the latter is a good person, and the former is most certainly committing a crime

Is that a crime?

That's a good question.

In my first year philosophy class, we had a heated debate about it.

I think it was decided that if one is legal, the other should be legal too, as both are pretty much the same thing.

one has a pimp and the other doesn't

it's hard to tax.

Pimp = boss
A porn star has a boss, there for he is her/his pimp.

prostitution is legal in parts of the united states. there is an entire show about a brothel in nevada on hbo (i think or some other cable channel)

As long as you call yourself an "escort" here in Canada, it is legal.

Although... they do say you aren't supposed to engage in sexual activity, but they do say that if you choose to have sex with a client on your own time, then it's all cool.

LOL!

One is performing, the other is physical interaction with the paying customer.

Umm, they are BOTH performing.

I think it's down to who's charging.

The courts consider most pornography to fall under the first amendment, and since the "speech" is the act of sex between the two actors, it cannot be rendered illegal by prostitution laws.

Even if that weren't the case, it seems to me to be faulty logic to conclude that what is being paid for, when pornographic actors and actresses are paid, is the act of sex itself. Rather, the payment is in exchange for the right to film the act as a means to generate revenue -- that is, the sex is in this case a "means to an end" rather than the end itself (as is the case in prostitution.)

i think its there to protect the hookers themselves.

porn studio is a pretty controled enviornment, and all actors/actresses are tested regularly.

with street secks, anything goes, rates are anywhere and who knows who's spreading what. plus you ight have alot more dead hookers.

then again the agrument could be 'well if it was legal it'd be controlled and what not'

i can't answer that :/

yea, if it was legal then it would be like in nevada, very controlled and safe.

they both work for a final client. however one client can get infected by STD, the other cannot.

This thread makes me horny

Prostitution isn't illegal in Canada; everything related to it, however, is.

Both should be legal as both are victimless crimes; where no person's rights (life, liberty, or property) are infringed upon.

But for some reason in "the land of the free", the government criminalizes behavior that which is victimless. All parties are willing participants! Granted, both should heavily regulated, but in a purely legal sense, they should be decriminalized.
