Pornstars and prostitutesFollow

You're such a simple-minded pervert.

Even more important IMO is that the guy having sex with the woman is not paying her to do it. Both participants are being paid to perform. In prostitution, one person is paying another to perform sex for him/her. The sexual act is what's being purchased. In ****, the sexual act is a means to an end. The film of the act is marketed and sold, generating revenue which then results in paychecks to the performers.

Ultimately, the people funding **** are those who buy the films of the sex acts, not those who perform in those sex acts. IMO, this creates a separation between the act and the payee that is the distinction between prostitution and pornography.

Eh? I think that's a huge difference.

Somewhat by definition, if you walk up to someone, offer them money for sex and they agree, that person is a prostitute. If you walk up to a **** star and offer her money, she's not going to give you sex. Not unless you're a film producer that is...

Well, that would actually be stripping. It's not uncommon for stippers to put on sex shows like that. And it's legal (in most states anyway).

I'll also point out that the whole "I wouldn't pay for them to go at it and not jump in myself" is what makes it prostitution. If the assumption is that someone involved in the paying part is expecting sex out of it (and not just watching sex) then it's prostitution. If two girls as an act are paid to have sex with eachother, it's not prostitution. If you pay one of them to have sex with yourself or someone else (not their choice, but your's) it's prostitution.

What makes you think "for the right price" doesn't apply there?

well the way it is portrayed a lot of them have relationships out side of **** so it already is applying stress to the relationship.


some rules are set by the spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend although i mean if it was me and my gf is already doing that stuff i wouldn't hold her back

She is already defiled might aswell go the whole 9 yards and get paid.

The bolded part was perhaps meant facetiously, but it demonstrates the actual very thin difference. If that's the major and legal difference, all one has to do to avoid being prosecuted for soliciting (or avoid being vastly different from ****) is carry a camara, take a snapshot of sex with the prostitute, and sell a copy for $5 to someone.



Sure, but most people in non-Nevada America view prostitution and **** as different based mostly on their respective legality, and not simple reason.

Yes they do.

So by that definition, any of you ladies who gave your man a hummer because he bought you those diamond earrings you wanted are prostitutes.

Why do you?

Are you saying that a strip show can't include a male and female pair of strippers? I didn't specify gender in my statement...

If the entertainment you're paying for is watching two (or more) people have sex, it's pornography. If the entertainment you are paying for is having someone to have sex with you, it's prostitution.

That's not to say that an act of pornography cannot *also* be prostitution (for example, you pay to watch someone else getting a BJ from a hooker). However, what makes it prostitution is if one of the people actually engaging in sex is paying to receive that sex.



You're caught up on labels. As though someone *is* a prostitute, or *is* a pornstar, but can't be both. It's the act that is pornographic and/or prostitution. If you hire two people to have sex with eachother while you film it, and you don't receive any sex, you've filmed a pornographic film. Assuming both people involved were being paid to perform and work together as part of *your* production, they're not engaging in prostitution. The second the objective of any of those actually having sex is to have the sex in return for money, it becomes prostitution.


Obviously, there's a fine line.



Except for the fact that Jenna is being paid by a producer to have sex with another paid performer under a contract based on the sale of the film of the act. The money comes from the sale of the video, not the person she's having sex with.

That's a *huge* difference.



Technically, it's filming an adult film without a license. But if you are properly licensed, then it's pornography, assuming that both women understand that they're both being paid to have sex with eachother so you can film it.

What about the man in question? If he was fully expecting a hummer for said earrings, couldn't that be construed as solicitation?

If they're having sex with each other, it's clearly not a strip show anymore! Though I don't know how it is for you guys, I was 14 the last time I was in California.

Anyway.



Sure but when prostitution is legal, "Boris" is being paid by a company to perform a service for a client based on a contract.

It's not a *huge* difference.

But I don't deny there are legal and technical differences. But both still sell the use of their body for the sexual enjoyment of paying clients.
