I'm not an expert in legal matters, so I don't claim to entirely understand the legal system.
I'm just wondering why porn actors/actresses aren't considered prostitutes, and arrested as such. They have sex in exchange for money. That's the general definition, no? Is there some obscure legal loophole that allows them to stay gainfully employed in their chosen profession?
To take this a step further, why don't prostitutes just have the "John" (that's the correct prostitution jargon for "man what wants sex and has $20" I believe) sign a contract and have it filmed (or not filmed, claiming "rehearsal"). They could just say they were filming (or "rehearsing") porn and then everything becomes nice and legal.
Just how does the legal system differentiate between "prostitute" and "porn star"?
