    That's a great question. I wish it was all treated the same. Heck when there's money envolved the law will conform to the greed. Look at gambling; it used to be illegal, but they'll have a native american on their board of directors and call it gaming, or put it on a boat and pretend like it's on water to overcome the laws against casinos. It's all about greed. What it does to society and families doesn't even come into consideration.

    Good question and one I don't have an answer for. I will tell you that I think we should legalize and regulate prostitution. Trying to outlaw it hasn't been effective, and if it was legal, those women would have some protection. Look at how often hookers are physically abused, either by their pimp or a john. A lot of hookers get murdered, and hardly anyone cares. If they had some legal protection, they'd be a hell of a lot safer.

    I think it's sad that prostitutes are scorned on, but porn stars have an odd celebrity these days. I agree - there is no difference. Drug abuse is very high in hookers and porn stars. At least the porn stars have a safe working environment - why don't the hookers?

    immigration is cracking down on mail order brides. They do superb tactics around it. Strip club keeps to be open with the aid of fact of complaints that stripping is speech. in the event that they do no longer grant intercourse, there is not any reason to outlaw escort centers. Porn isn't criminal in all state, yet in states they are criminal, that's lined via freedom of speech besides. the worldwide is gray, and we try to charm to a line in the type of international None of those are genuine prostitution,even nonetheless lots of the organization is tantamount to it. there became a case that a stripper had intercourse with a customer. The courts discovered it wasn't prostitution with the aid of fact it became a possibility that the stripper have been given excited and supplied greater desirable to the lap dance. the main suitable subject is unfold of ailments. If that's regulated the criminal brothel in Nevada, it may no longer be an argument

  • The act of soliciting is illegal, but sex for money is not. I'm not sure why all three aren't illegal, because all of them solicit in a sense (hiring porn actors, advertising escorts that will have sex with you, prostitutes ask clients if they want to have sex)

    Prostitution, porn and escort services are all illegal in some places and legal in others. It varies US state to state, and country to country depending on the culture and religion of that area.

    Escort services that provide sex for money are illegal. The definition of pornography has long been the subject of many court cases. Porn in itself does not provide physical sex to the consumer.

    I've done my home work on why it is illegal and isn't. I work for ADJ (AdultDancerJobs) I am as we call it "professional escort" and that means alot of different things. For example, Last friday I was hired for 2hours @ $500 to jump out of a cake for a mans 21st b'day &then to Simply walk around, mingle and give lap dances. (thats the tip. extra $$ you make on site) (your hrs will be set at a certian $amount) YOU ARE PAID FOR THE TIME! Before that time, you will know who you're seeing, what you're doing. If you're offered sex for $ during the time, you can say yes. But in my job you say no an walk.. i dont trade sex for $ im paid to spend 1hr to eat dinner, talk, walk around house naked. Attend bachelor's parties etc. accord: to the law in 1999 its illegal to sell\pay for sex. It's legal to pay a woman for her company, attend wall st. Parties cause men aren't married n have no date, want to watch you clean a pool naked etc. So if no sex is involved for mone escorts are legal.

    Escort services are not supposed to be sexual. They are supposed to be payment for 'company', although Im sure more than that goes on.

    Porn are pictures and videos or sex, not the actual physical act.

    Its simply the government putting in thier idea of morals (all the while them getting BJ's from anyone that moves).

    i think prostitution should be legal and regulated as well....i think it would help curb rape and sexual predators cause they could easily go and get their rocks off for a few bucks and get rid of their stress so they don't take it out on someone else. Prostitution has always been there and always will be so i think we should learn to live with it and make it more safe and healthy. After all prostitution is the second earliest profession after motherhood!!!
