Porn and prostitution are two sides of the same proverbial coin. I think prostitution should be legalized and lightly regulated with 14-day VD testing requirements for both johns and prostitutes and a condom-optional policy where if one chooses to require a condom the job is a condom job, the “escort agency” would not be allowed to discriminate or even know whether a prostitute was condom-optional or condom-required. Street hustling should remain illegal, johns would either call a prostitute to his room or go to a “whore house” to get his rocks off with a cute, nubile 21 year old prostitute. Dennis Hof (the owner of most of the “whore houses” in Nevada) or any other person/corporation would only be allowed to own a small portion of the new “whore houses” opened due to legalization of prostitution, maybe ten per state. States, cities and counties would not be allowed to ban prostitution or not allow “whore houses” to be built but could limit the “whore houses” to non-residential neighborhoods. In-call prostitution where the prostitute comes to the john would be allowed anywhere in the country. The minimum age of entry into prostitution for both johns and prostitutes should be the age of majority in that state (between 16 and 19 in the US with most states being 18). Lastly, Michigan’s draconian fornication, prostitution, pandering and adultery laws would be consigned to the annals of history.

Now that everything is just gonzo and there is no “movie” aspect to porn and its just people getting paid to fuck on camera its a thin line between porn and prostitution. Add to that the fact that “many” (if not most) porn stars also escort and you can see why the general public thinks porn = prostitution. I would not be surprised if porn star escorting was a bigger business then the porn industry (films, scenes, and DVDs).
