    I really don’t understand the way the US works in regards to „bought“ sex… on the one hand prostitution is illegal (with the exception of Las Vegas parts of Nevada) and as soon as you point a camera on the paid fucking it is called PORN and it is still a multi billion dollar industry.

    You guys are weird

    Edit: changed the Las Vegas part

      Prostitution isn’t legal in Vegas. Parts of Nevada yes, but in Clark county where Las Vegas is located prostitution is illegal.

    • It’s very bizarre. Kinda shocking the gov’t hasn’t figured out the massive amount of tax revenue behind the legalization of sex workers.

        Works in other countries at least. Here in Germany they just pay income tax, like everyone else. Actually they are freelancers usually…

        On the other hand, Germany is still a bit backwards regarding cannabis legalization… but we are working on it.

          Illegal income is taxed, technically, but paying that tax would also basically be a confession. That’s how they got mobsters back in the day. So there ends up not being any when you’re right and there absolutely could be good tax revenue there

          Hell, it’s not federally banned, so it’s just states not being willing.

      It started a few centuries ago when this annoying group of people known as Puritans were expelled from their home country and sailed to north America.

      The natives saved them from starvation and today still impose their beliefs and values on everybody. These hypocritical laws is but one example

        They were not expelled from anywhere. They wanted to impose their religious doctrine on everyone else but every government keep telling them to fuck off.

        The Puritans were a small sect, just looking for the religious freedom to punish the best majority of people who didn’t believe the Puritans’ theology. Their notion of “religious freedom” is similar to the U.S. Catholic bishops’ notion. It’s a violation of religious freedom when people can make their own choices, and don’t have to obey a hierarchy.

      There are porn producers who do such a crappy job that I’d swear they only film so they have legal access to prostitution.

        Like 90% of OF “fan meets” are filmed fucks because it’s actually prostitution. Pretty sad they can’t be honest because some people had weir hangups hundreds of years ago

          Go on any hookup app or site and you’ll see plenty of “content creators” willing to meet up and “make content.”

      What’s weird is that loophole exists and people don’t abuse it.

      Like, I get the streetwalkers selling $10 BJs dont, but for “high end” organizations like this, just stick an old school camcorder in the room and let the John keep whatever grainy unidentifiable footage they make during the encounter.

      If you’re ever investigated, you’re in the clear. If not, then no one even has to know.

        Pretty sure the forms required for filming adult entertainment include personally identifiable information, so no, it’s not just ‘add a camera and now it’s porn’.

        Nah. A group tried this in Pensacola and got busted. Can’t remember the details, but they were trying to pass prostitution off as pr0n because camera. Didn’t fly.

        I bet employment fraud would have a bigger jail sentence than prostitution.

      It’s called the “First Amendment,” and you’ll find it can be used to justify/unjustify all sorts of things depending on the current government in power.
