I personally don't see much difference -- both get paid for having sex. I hope someone can enlighten us. -

One is done in a set and one done on the street and in the alley. I don't know why one is legal and the other isn't. But good question -

Sean, imho, the difference is in how 'respectable' people view each one.
One gets some sex for money, while the other gets some money for sex!
Which one gets what first depends on who is enjoying what the most - both enjoy their work, I dare say, but pornstars are prone to love sex more, while prostitutes would usually prefer the cash in hand first, if you get my meaning!
Anyway, the aforesaid 'respectable' people would probably rather watch the pornstars in action on TV at home than go out onto the streets looking for a prostitute to take home!
I think, personally, pornstars are more open and honest about their 'addictions' - they care not who may be watching!

All women negotiate sex for power if they have been blessed with that bargaining chip.
It is not just pornstars or prostitutes but every woman will use any bargaining chip she can.
Look at my upcoming article, Should prostitution be legalized for more info.
And my other posts. Including the excursion of a Voyuer priest.

Pornstars make more money, have more set work hours, and have more safety in there work then prostitutes. Although i guess if a prostitute works hard enough in the right place i suppose they could make as much money as a pornstar.
As for the ppl watching / paying for it, i think there you get a larger difference.
Porn can be enjoyed in your home, even shared with your SO. Granted yes that could happen with a prostitute as well but not as likely. The, customers i guess you could say, are not having a physical experience with the porn its self, where as a prostitute, obviously it goes into the physical. As for the moral stance i'll leave that to wiser people then myself. Also i think that the watching vs paying for physical contact (ie the final product) is what makes one legal, while the other is not.

The Legalization of Prostitution are interesting premises that we won't see in our lifetime approved.
Our culture in the United States since its inception has been based on a Judeo-Christian ethic but from a somewhat hypocritical view.
The problem is we have a hypocritical society, that wishes to appear overly moral and not practical. It should be understood that figures of the bible maintained prostitutes, not that that by itself makes it okay. But with the stresses we have in the modern world and the lack of human touch, the legalization of prostitution could be in the best interest of our society.
In this country, we put much more emphasis on the way things appear than the way things actually are.
Our first settlers tried to build a puritan culture which still influences our society today. This puritan society culture was meant to portray moral standing which elevated them . As more and more different settlers arrived with many different views, America became a country with a melting pot of different beliefs.
When our society in America was first created there was slavery and
women were relagated to a lack of ownership of property except through inheritance, in most instances.
The standard was established that some people by design were less than others but the difference in these cases were those involved on the underside had no choice or say so in the matter.
The exploitation of others became an established standard. When the abolitionist movement help to change our society for the better, it still left in tack the lessened role for women until the suffrage movement in the early 1920's. The feminist movement came about as a backlash to white man's manifest destiny mentality.
Since that time women have fought for power in relationships by holding back sex. Women today believe that the legalization of prostitution would lessen their power and make men less likely to be manipulated through sex, if they have other options.
That influence, combined with the bible belt mentality characterized by people like Jim Baker and Jimmy Swaggert, try to hold power and sway by preaching that they know what are the best moral standards. In this country ,we want everyone to believe we are so moral but in the dark we do any and everything. There is so much crime in America because we are so hypocritical.
Many countries across Europe and the world have some form of legalized prostitution, with varying degrees of success. Amsterdam is perhaps the most famous example, as tourist from across the world travel to the Netherlands to experience this red light district. London also has a famous Red-light district in a portion of its community. The crime effect has had vary degrees of success.
The legalization of Prostitution and of marijuana would certainly help lessen crime and stress in our society.
Legalization certainly would help lessen crime, men wouldn't drink as much or believe they had to do crazy things to relieve their biological urges. It can help make men more sane. You have to remember that underneath men are part animal and unless the man is very disciplined or has some form of release there may be trouble in his life.
The underlying root cause of crime in this country is man's endless pursuit of love and human care and human touch.. The Technological age has further eroded man's human interaction and left him grasping for meaning and love.
I reference an article from men.msn "French men don't get caught". In our society we put such emphasis that a relationship and love ever after is the end all and beat all. And when people find out it is not, many get frustrated. I am not saying that love is not great but it is not a fairly tale, it is hard work. And sometimes a man or a women, getting away from the pressure sometimes can help possible save a marriage or a relationship not destroy it.

the difference IMHO is that a prostitute agrees to have sex with one or more clients at a time for their sexual gratification, whereas a porn star performs sex alone or with one or more peers for the sexual gratification of multitudes who can't be seen and that they will likely never see.
it's that level of distance (both of not doing it for the end-user and of scope) that i think makes for a difference. honestly, i think that while there are certain similarities, it isn't really the same thing, because a prostitute has to make the end-user feel good whereas a porn star has to give the appearance of making someone else have the appearance of feeling good.

Prostitution is with a 'hands on' client, whereas a pornstar, performs for an agent of the client. -

I am not a porn person. I actually believe that films, video and paper are a distraction from the actual passion I experience with the one I love. But I'm not the worlds father.
I suppose both women you have described are just people with jobs. The pay is never what they expect and the wear and tear is always greater than they can eventually endure. Sounds familiar.
I would never look down on a woman with a job. Chances are they are trying to juggle life just like everyone else.
They both have sorrow and pain and self image issues.

Actualy HBC they recently proved that legal prostitutes are mentally just as healthy as women in any other profession. So outside the US where we force them into the streets to be beaten, raped and killed there is no proofthey have sorrow, pain or image problems above and beyond what all normal people have. -
hunter_boyce_chandler said on Apr 22, 2007....
That's precisely my point friend. They are just women with jobs.
