Then the solution for the anti-porn people is to do away with California. Be a lot easier than trying to convince people that it's prostitution so as to get it banned.

Question:- Did I read that correctly?....... that the only State in the USA where porn can be filmed is California?

Question:- Are there any States in the USA where a person can solicit (tout?) for prostitution business openly?

I'm not thinking of coming over to the USA on holiday or anything, :D, was just wondering, that's all. Oh..... I don't know, though; Revolting's tiny mini kilt sounds like it's worth a few dollars to see. :yes:

If you're a woman. Men make half that or less. I hear gay porn pays pretty well though. From what I understand though, gay porn is a completely separate industry. Who knows, if my current plans fall through it is definitely an option, that is if my wife doesn't mind. I hear strippers get paid well too, maybe I could try that. And then I can get everyone to feel sorry for me for being exploited with ridiculous amounts of money.

From what I understand, you can film anywhere, California is just the only state that requires permits. Porn is constitutionally protected, so if it's legal to film in a state, it is legal to film porn in a state. California is just the only state where it is explicitly legal. States can only ban material that is obscene, and it's incredibly difficult to get something labeled as obscene.

The avatar thingie going on where you're sawing into your head might earn you some money in a very specialized porn sub-genre.

Who's splitting hairs. Do you really believe that using "prostitution" in regard to making pornography is akin to whoredom and harlotry? Like it or not, it's far more than a hair we're splitting.

Gee, is that what we're talking about? I know you love to take irrelevant side trips in your discussions, but let's try to stay on track a bit. The pornography under discussion is the commercial kind, but you already know this, don't you. So why this irrelevancy?

Errr, just because you say something doesn't make it so. Nor does it mean we buy it.

So why do you go ahead and do it anyway?

Which is what I did when I said.
"In the broadest sense of the word perhaps."
​
No. because the word prostitution has very definite connotations that have never been included in description of the making of pornography.

Look up the word "Pornography." Does the word "prostitut*****" ever pop up, other than in its etymology? Know why? . . . . . . . . Sure you do.

Then again, maybe I'd prefer it. Everyone has different preferences and boudaries regarding what types of jobs they prefer to do and/or are willing to do. Either way, it's up to me to be exploited in whichever way I wish - just like everyone else.

But, I definitely agree on helping everyone to become more psychologically healthy, as well as doing what's possible to reduce the abuse and neglect of children in all forms.

Awesome. Then we agree!

I'd never try to interfere with my friend's prostitution, or even judge her for it. It is a simple fact of life that, like nearly all prostitutes and porn stars (if you, like these other guys, feel the need to insist they are different professions), she was abused as a child. I don't consider prostitution "empowering" for her, and I'm positive she doesn't either. It's just easy money and she'd rather do that than go hungry between normal jobs.

Also, if she had better access to mental health services she might not be into it at all.

The only evidence on pornography I recall you presenting was that tripe by Meliss Farley,( Yes, I didn't read it all. I didn't have to) and as I told you, she doesn't deserve anyone's time of day. I'm honestly disappointed she got yours.
