Porn stars and prostitution

[Miriel]

Actually, prostitution is legal and regulated in many countries other than the United States. Heck, the United States itself had legal prostitution just a few decades ago.

Dreedz made a valid point.

What if prostitutes were forced to test themselves at regular intervals by law, and keep track of their clients in case one of them got infected or infected them? Sort of making a legal agreement where both parts warrant that they are clean before the service is performed.

If that was the case, do you think brothels should be legal?

I suggest you look for the episode of Penn and Teller's Bull:skull::skull::skull::skull: on this very topic, wherein they look at a nevada brothel with exactly those self set conditions. In short, yes, I do.

because everyone in a porn movie is getting paid while only the prostitue/prostitutes are getting paid in prostitution, and the person hiring the prostitue is doing the paying. SO if one of the porn stars were to have sex with the person giving them the money for the porn movie in order to get more money that should be illegal.

See it's not the same thing, one is getting paid to recorded having sex while the other is getting paid for the sex itself.

Yes i know what i said makes little sense

To the point that the porn industry is?

Nah, hookers might want to keep low profile, while a porn star could be famous in the adult world.

I never thought of it that way before.

For some reason, "doing porn" doesn't seem as bad as prostitution.

Porn is far more acting-based, whereas prostitution is entirely pleasure-based. They both have to look the part, they both have to have appeal, and they're both selling their bodies, although prostitutes sell their bodies directly while porn stars sell images and videos of their bodies more than anything else. I think that as vocations they're quite different.

I don't see how one being pleasure-based should warrant outlawing.
There are many that have jobs they take pleasure from doing.

I still fail to see how the amount of people profiting from it has anything to do with the legality of it. Sounds like massive capitalist lobbying to me.

They can keep a low profile even if they were organized.


I live in Norway, and it's perfectly legal to sell your body here. However, organized prostitution (read: brothels) is illegal. I think prostitutes would benefit from working legally and organized. They would be safer if they were in a building where people could help them in case some of the customers started doing stuff he or she shouldn't.

If one's going to be legal, then the other should be. I can't see very much distinction between the two, myself, so it's rather a double standard if one is freely practised while the other is outlawed.

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

Yes, essentially the same in moral principles, both degenerates in my book. I know so little about the world of pornography but their lifestyle seems more upper class than prostitutes or have I been watching too many movies?

[Quindiana Jones]

Even though I voted, like, 6 seconds ago, I can't remember what I voted for.

Whatever, I meant yes. The only real difference is that one has a camera and is more glamourous. Some porn produceer blokey moaned about this.

If you give a woman £50 to give you head, it's prostitution and you can get done for it, but if there's someone filming the exact same act, it's porn and is perfectly legal.

Something along those lines.

Well surprisingly the act of prostitution in the UK is not illegal. It is considered frowned upon and is generally discouraged but is not actually illegal it is just the pimping of hookers or the founding of a brothel that is illegal. As for the topic at hand. I think it is as Seymour Butts said once, "If we were here right now without a camera and a state trooper was here too and I said I will give you 50 bucks for a blow job the officer would be forced to give you a ticket or arrest you for the crime of prostitution. However with the camera here in the same situation, it's merely porn and perfectly legal." That was in an interview on a program I saw once.

[Polaris]

Porn stars win a lot of money, prostitutes don't! Usually porn stars are hot (well u know all blond with tons of cilicone) porstitutes are normal women who usually have a tired look!
