Porn Star Vs. Prostitute

[lilme`]

Ok, my mind goes in really random places sometimes. I was just sitting here thinking... what's the difference between a porn star and a prostitute?

In porn, afaik for some you'll have to go for a set routine, there's multiple takes, and well, the cameras abound -do- make a difference. Have to put on a show for the camera. Sex work seems less involved.

Porn is taxed

Exploitation vs entertainment.

Prostitution is generally frowned upon as it exploits the woman- traps them in the lifestyle. Little to no rights on the street level, there are rings, pimps etc. More issues eight disease and general health issues such as drugs. Prostitution can also lead to underage stuff, trafficking etc.

Where the Lind blurs are lifestyle stuff- such on the higher end S&M activities with pro dominatrix services etc. These are still considered solicitation of sex, however is clearly not the same as intercourse.

The problem that we run into is trying to get the street level workers a choice- an out. Without that pressure. For many it's easy money but at a high price. If/when they get a disease- they are out of game.

Providing educational/vocational programs as well as other alternatives than say a felony charge after three strikes that can affect ones ability to obtain a job etc.

In any case- I will stop rambling. It comes down to risk, how much and how well industries and activities can be monitored etc.

"After Porn" was a pretty good documentary. Kinda the life both in and out of the industry, his it has changed a since the 70s and mainly what life is after porn careers end.

Prolly the most complete view I've seen on the industry is Pornography: The Secret History of Civilisation

Very long doc- British- going back throughout multiple civilizations.

While Porn Stars and Prostitutes both get money for sex when you strip out all the technicalities, the fact is that the technicalities matter. When you strip out the technicalities there's no difference between a moon rocket and an ICBM.

Porn pays better (If you are a girl, guys is usually $40k p.a.
