Interesting... but we all know that having sex on film is gratifying

Obviously, there are significant differences between prostitution and pornography. However, from a policy viewpoint, it does become difficult to draw out those distinctions in a way that makes sense of our current situation--one where two consenting adults are breaking the law if they contract for sex, but aren't breaking the law if they contract for sex on camera, with the intent of publicly distributing the resulting images for monetary gain.

Regardless of the genuine distinction between porn and prostitution, it's very difficult to see how the policies that lie behind the prohibition of prostitution should not, if they are valid, also support the prohibition of pornography...in fact, even more so, since porn is so visible and is not, ostensibly at least, carried out in private space or for the sake of private interests (the sexual gratification of the sexually involved parties, for instance).

From a legal standpoint, the difference in treatment between porn and prostitution has little to do with a difference in policy considerations or with the general differences between the two categories (though, as I've said, those differences do seem genuine and important).

I'd explain the differing treatment as more of a historical accident, fueled by this country's precedent-based judicial system and economic factors. At some point early in the game--very likely due largely to historically local motivations--some judges decided to put sexual imagery on the protected side of the 1st Amendment line. That decision put the power of precedent into play, and as a result, a massive economic institution--the porn industry--was allowed to come into existence.

Today, the industry undoubtedly takes sexual imagery far, far beyond what the judges who initially set the precedent could have imagined. Nonetheless, the power of that precedent, heavily bolstered by the now economic impossibility of dispensing with the porn industry, keeps it and its output securely under the umbrella of protected speech 99% of the time.

There are real and important differences between porn and prostitution. But those differences don't provide the best explanation for the differences in how the law treats the two. Rather, that explanation lies in the historically local motivations of a group of judges quite some time ago and the influence that current economic realities exercise upon current judicial outcomes.

imo, at least

I was actually thinking exactly the same last week, why prostitution is illegal but fucking for money in porn is not.

Porno Dan · 03-16-2008, 02:05 PM

That was a very concise way of explaining the differences.

You are just better off holding a camara and hiring a chick.

Once ya got the content the money invested for the fuck turns into a profit model by selling it out. I mean if you are ugly or old or fat or just have to pay chicks to fuck you porn is the way the to go.

I would say Porn is better than Prostitution.

I was just discussing this with someone a week or so ago.

Last Christmas we went into a discussion with my mother-in-law regarding this issue. And quite frankly, when it came to the 'why would be porn acting any better than prostitution' I didn't have too many strong arguments...

In my opinion we should all be asking ourselves...Why the fuck does the govt. have any business worrying about people having sex under ANY circumstance. It's total bullshit. If I want to pay a girl to fuck me, then why is the U.S. govt. gonna throw me in prison? Fucking ridiculous.
A friend of mine wrote a song called "Everything We Love Is Against The Law"
Ain't that the truth? We're supposed to be "free", yet we're treated like goddamn children by the govt. And of course the very politicians that will throw you in jail for having a good time are the same hypocritical sons-of-bitches who are having a great time fucking hookers, snorting coke, and smoking pot.
Where can a man go to breathe some freedom in this world?
"Prostitution vs. Porn" the real question should be: Did we really win WW2? Did we really defeat communism in the cold war? Cause between wiretapping, reading our emails, passing a new law every day to run our lives, AND being the number one country in the world with it's citizens imprisoned...it sure looks a lot like what we were told as kids was the "bad guys".
