If prostitution is illegal, but making porn is legal, why can’t prostitutes just film their encounters and tell the police that they were just making a porno?

I guess prostitution would count as selling your body to a stranger, whereas a porno is like acting with two professionals committed to the bit with the only payment coming from the producer.
In a more innocent comparison, it would be the difference between a street preformed and a paid actor
That’s my guess anyway as to why it would be different.
Porn is two people being paid to have sex.
Prostitution is one paying another.
Cops would ask to see the john’s paycheck.
Game over.
You can absolutely do that, and many people do.
You just have to make it a legal porn film if you want it to be perfectly legal. Which means permits, safety adherence, VD testing, etc. Varies by state.
You can’t just record something and call it a porn film, any more than you can rob a bank and then just record it with your phone and say I’m not robbing a bank, I’m just making a movie.
It’s licensed
There are a lot of rules/laws in place, think selling liquor or cigarettes, you can not just start selling them out the trunk of your car, you need licenses and they check to make sure you follow the laws in place.
This one has always baffled and infuriated me. Either way, you’re still getting paid to have sex. The other commenter compared prostitutes to having sex “in the street” and that’s totally nonsensical. They may advertise on the street, but they aren’t busting it out and getting it on in the middle of main street or anything. Porn and prostitution are the same thing in my mind and both should be legal.
Good question..sex workers provide a very useful service to society …which should be legal.
The short answer is they can. Porn is considered making a film in which the actress engages in sex, but they are being paid to act. Prostitution is being paid for sex. Sounds silly but is true.
They can film it and say that they were acting, but they would then have to show what it was produced for and where, and abide by all the regulations for it to be legal. One of the biggest problems is getting the “John” to agree to being filmed too.
A lot of porn is produced in jurisdictions where either:
I read this thing in The Mans Journal. That said if you are going to pick up a prostitute you should ask them if you can pay them to take some nude photos of them.
Undercover cops won’t agree just for a sting. You obviously have to have a generic contract to be on the safe side…
