Porn and Prostitutes

Why is prostitution illegal, but pornography is legal? Both incidents have parties being paid for sex, simply because it's on camera it's more ethical and the lawmakers don't care about it?
On a side note: If you wanted to pick up hookers but were afraid of cops, simply tell them you are a porn producer and that you'll be paying them for appearing in one of your films.

prostitution is illegal because it's difficult to regulate and (especially in places like the south) can result in the spreading of AIDS and other diseases. Porn is a heavily regulated industry, and all porn stars are regularly checked for every disease out there.

It's not mandatory, though. If I want to videotape me fucking chicks and pay them for it, I'm not compelled under any statute that i'm familiar with to test or have them tested for disease.

One is easier to tax, and control revenue off of, the other isn't.
Oh yeah, also health risks, as most people that watch porn don't get the clap as a result of it, at least not that I've heard of.

If prostitution was legal and regulated it would be much safer....the only reason it is illegal is the influence of christian fundamentalists on our government, and the general apathy of most Americans. Porn is legal because people would flip the fuck out if it was banned.

I know it was a joke, I support legalization in terms of harm reduction...
Also to piss off the religious fundamentalists.

Actually god wouldn't want that... most banging in the house of god that I'm most aware of concerns little evangelical boys.

All one needs to do is go to Amsterdam, or even Nevada, to see how easily prostitution can be legally regulated.

Legally, I believe they distinguish between the act of paying money for sex (illegal prostitution) and the act of videotaping consensual sex for money (legal pornography). It seems a stupid distinction to me, but by outlawing prostitution they can attack the lower classes and those who couldn't defend themselves, while I bet the porn directors and actors could put up quite a legal fight.

I think we just create stupid ass boundaries in our society for the rhetoric as to which side you choose, else their wouldn't be any source of news to keep people occupied. Same stupid distinction created in terms of alcohol and pot.

it's the oldest form of business(prostitution) and since any woman(or man for that matter) can make a buck that cannot be taxed it is therefore illegal. porn is a photograph and can be distributed, most likely leaving a taxable paper trail, giving the gov. a source of income= legal (pornography in the US is illegal yet artistic erotic pictures are legal, the only difference is the judgment of an old crusty white guy's opinion.)both should be legal[no matter what the sex is!]

I wouldnt screw a prostitute nowadays especially not in the REd light district since they are crawling with STD's. If it was legalized, then licenses would have to be obtained and shown at point of sale for me to ever consider fucking one. A license that would require a 3-4 month waiting period until the final set of blooad and viral testing was cleared to be passed off as a legitamite prostitute. Licenses to be renued every 6 months with new tests. If some prostitue had herpes, she still has the right to hook, HSV would just appear on her license if the patron cared to look and Id assume the price for that pork would come down a bit in general. Hell we can even microprocess a card swiping mechanism in the broad's crack and swipe our CC at checkout.
