Prostitutes and Porn stars...Is their really a difference?

[PhucaLottaPuss]

"My point is; can the use of the exact same service provided be the determining factor of 'different' professions. OR, is is merely a title change?"


The answer is no. Bikini model shoots a private session just to be in the portfolio. That's it. They are not to be published. If they end up in a Victoria Secrets catalog then she can say that they are not authorized to do so.

I see what point you want to make so I will ask a similar question. A model on a cam does her act and you pay her there to do certain things for you to get off and others are watching. She comes to your house for a bachelor party and does the same thing. Is she a prostitute?

You kind of lost me with this post but I think you're confirming my point in my previous post?

both are having sex for money..any way you slice it.........

true, but the difference is how they are paid and what the purpose of their service is.

In the end, it doesn't really matter - sex work is sex work. We're all in the same field. Anyone who gets offended by being compared to a prostitute needs to change professions because we're ALL in the business of pleasure.

The argument over whether webcam models make porn has come up on here before and is certainly similar. YES we're all in the sex industry, and one is no better or worse than the next. I don't know why the question of "are pornstars the same as hookers" even needs to come up as if being the same as a hooker is a bad thing. Escorts and prostitutes are awesome (well, the safe, clean, successful ones are - the rest are just sad) and pornstars are obviously awesome so....why is this question/thread so popular?

I'm guessing people may be burnt out on the:
"So who's toe nails would you like to chew while fucking her in her tracheotomy and doing a head stand?"
Type of threads.

No really though; I find the topic interesting because I've always seen porn stars and "escorts" as one in the same. It's no big secret , in fact, it's been said here in threads many times that many porn stars also work as escorts and escorts work as porn stars. Why wouldn't both sides cross over? I wouldn't think either side would see themselves as to moral or as above the other. They supposedly work in two different professions yet perform the exact same duty...PERIOD. One "profession" is regulated and governed with Uncle Sam getting his cut while the other is all cash, tax free and uncontrolled...I know which path I'd choose if faced with the choice...haha

Two different ways to make a living. Each of which should be fully legal. But the 'goddies' have a problem with anything and everything.


Practice your religious choice but please keep it out of my reality.

I see them as being totally different. Porn is a form of entertainment if you ask me, and has nothing to do with prostitution.

The thread is titled:

not
Prostitution and Porn...Is their really a difference?

P.S.-
Are you sure prostitutes don't provide entertainment?...Really?
Just because you can't watch it on your Vizio or PC monitor doesn't mean it's not "entertainment".

Sorry I lost you. In the end they are two completely different services. One is private and the other is public. Sure, it is all fucking for money, but I can give examples in other industries where the same actions being done are completely different services.

Rep to Spexy for a great post! :thumbsup:

I think there's just something about human nature where we want/need to believe that we, or what we do, is somehow above certain others, even when what they're doing is similar to what we're doing. It's weird, huh? In my world, you don't want to be considered "plant level management", you want to be in corporate management or an executive level manager. Even though some plant managers make more money than many managers who work at corporate, people who work at the plant level are considered to be lower on the totem pole. They probably eat with their hands and wipe their noses on their sleeves... and there are people at the corporate level who actually do think that way.

And so many times I've noticed on here how some porn stars will get bent out of shape at the mere suggestion that porn is in any way connected to prostitution. Why? Is prostitution or escorting so wrong, yet making porn is so honorable??? At one time in the western world, anyone who performed on stage was considered to be something of a social outcast: "show people", they were called. And until very recently, actors divided themselves into two or three groups: film actors, stage actors and then TV actors. Film and stage acting made you the cream of the crop. Being on TV made you some sort of hack.

But yeah, if one is truly a social libertarian (which I would *think* that most porn performers/sex workers should be), how do you justify looking down on somebody who gets money for having sex with strangers as an escort or prostitute, but you see yourself as better than they are and you get money for having sex with strangers on film or tape? Where is the logic there? Isn't it a pretty slippery moral slope to be supporting that kind of thinking??? This is the exact reason I don't have any use for Evangelical/holy roller types: they tend to think their shit doesn't stink and they like to look down on other people.

Yeah that's a very reasonable and articulate analysis and obviously you are correct... a sex worker is a sex worker basically...and you would "think" that logic would dictate that ALL would be social liberatarians, but you would often be wrong...The porn/prostituion industries are overwhelmingly run by sexist racist gay devil worshipping pseudo-pimps, and esp. the porn actresses, as their slave whore minions, adopt the socio-political attitudes of their masters (who are also delusional at best)...Alot of them consider themselves Republican Conservatives on the same socio-economic level as Donald Trump. and they are anything but liberal....funny but true...thats why they would be willing to vote for somebody like Romney eventhough he would destroy what's left of the porn industry the first chance he got....Totally retarded.

A porn star vote for Romney? Wow now that's scary.

Anyone voting for Romney is scary

Porn stars are on movies and pictures, prostitutes are not, pornstars get payed more then prostitutes, porn stars have a saying in who they want to fuck or not, prostitutes not really especially when there is a pimp involved. Enough differences !!

Pure semantics.
