why is prostitution illegal but being in porn is not?

[joefire_2008]

I think prostitution should be legal so that the sex workers could be licensed and be better protected from harm.

This is my point as well. You get rid of the pimps and violent acts towards these people, and regulate it for public health.

I've had the same thoughts about this subject. It's a victimless crime...
If legalized it would be safer for the girls all the way around. Plus, they would have to be tested for HIV & STDs protecting the public as well. It works in NV.

Yes. I agree 100%. Plus, then I wouldn't have to keep fighting other girls off of my corner. LOL.

Seriously. We could use at least 8% more for pr0n.

lol

Okay, I'll play Fem-Nazi: Because conservative men don't want women sex workers to have any control, rights or protection.

Actually Penn and Teller addressed this question on Bullshit, you can probably find the episode on YouTube. They think "blue laws" are fucking stupid, too.

I don't see how paying a sex worker is a whole lot different than, say, paying a waxer for a Brazillian. Both are touching intimate parts of your body and providing a personal service.

i guess it's only illegal if you orgasm.

which doesn't make a lot of sense.

getting waxed = hurts like hell and is legal
having an orgasm = feels awesome and is against the law if you paid for it.

porn is part of our freedom of speech/expression. Its an entertainment medium for others to view.

I think porn is awesome, and I don't judge the people who make it. I don't think all porn stars are "sluts"

I also don't give a fuck if someone wants to pay for sex, millions of men do that legally everyday, its called dating.

 

[wootoom]

the government makes money off porn
