Do you think "model", "porn star", and prostitute are the same?

  • 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.

    • 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.

      • 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.
