Porn stars ARE selling the act itself, but they are selling it to the movie company - who is the client. The movie company then sells the depictions of the act on to the market.
It's prostitution in my eyes. Just prostitution to produce movies. That's why I find it absurd that producing porn is legal in so many places where prostitution is not (I think both should be legal but subject to restrictions).
No, the porn stars do not have sex with the directors (well, at least that's not what they're paid to do). They are being paid to have sex with other actors in a controlled environment so that a video can be produced and sold.
In prostitution, the commodity being sold is the sex itself. In porn, the commodity is the video.
No I absolutely get what you are saying. Pornstars get paid to have sex and prostitutes get paid to have sex therefore pornstars are the same as prostitutes.
But that surface-level analysis ignores important distinctions between the two, such as the nature of the sex and the actual commodities that are being sold.
Hell, a pornstar may not even have actual sex. The whole thing could be just staged at obstructed angles and then spliced together with editing. Or maybe the director will keep intervening and ask that the performers do specific things so that neither one actually enjoys it.
Do you think "model", "porn star", and prostitute are the same?

Yes, which imo is an arbitrary distinction.

I didn't say the porn stars have sex with the directors.
Not sure you get what I'm saying, so I'll leave it at that. We have different opinions.
