Come to think of it . If Porn Is Legal In America Why Prostitution Is Illegal? (drugs, lawyer)

Porn is ok but not prostitution?

Along with music that sells sex in their records that's ok

[elhelmete]

yes

[hawaiiancoconut]

Because you cant pimp out PornHub?

Yeah, it's odd. Getting paid to go log jamming on camera is fine, two consenting adults in private is surrounded by shame and illegality.

In general, porn (sex performed on camera) is considered "expression" and protected by the first amendment.

This is a pretty succinct explanation:

Bingo, we have a winner for post of the year. Yes, I love America but most stuff makes no sense.

Not going into the abortion argument, but a big part of it is that a woman can do what she wants with her body. Ok, fine. If that is the case why can't I shoot steroids or drugs (which I don't).

Not to mention the greater likelihood of disease.

What would it be called if you filmed the entire street type prostitution "encounter" on your cell phone? Porn or prostitution?

I'm no lawyer but I say it's porn and 100% legal at that point and a solid defense and loophole. Not that I participate in or condone such behavior.
