Prostitution

[GatewaySnayke]

There was some porn chick on "Red Eye" last week who was complaining about free porn and how they are all losing a lot of money. I thought she was going to break down over it.

But it doesn't even make sense. Is it worth it to have all these pictures and videos on the Internet for eternity for a measly $200 bucks? There's seriously something you couldn't find better than engaging in porn?

You're right though, pebbles, that's a screwed up industry. Between all of the disease, the fact that 90 percent of the males are gay and the low pay, I'm surprised the suicide rate isn't higher.

Not to start anything, but how do you connect homosexuality to either the porn industry, or more insultingly, likelihood of suicidal tendencies? I totally agree that the adult entertainment industry is nutzo (having now lived with a stripper, unwillingly, on two separate occasions), but I have to contest your statement. I would strongly assert that greatly more women in the industry, for lack of a better term, get their gay on for the camera, even if it's staged. The gay porn industry is big (snicker) but it's not 90% big (snicker). And to assert that homosexuals are more prone to suicide, frankly, is so 1970s.

I wasn't actually trying to make a serious connection between being gay man and being a straight porn star and killing yourself. But methinks that there has to be a serious problem with depression in that industry. People have a hard time reconciling sometimes what they are doing for a living, and I'm just surprised that more people haven't off-ed themselves to get away from it.

I'd rather pay. (Because you get to pick.) Unfortunately I'd imagine male prostitutes are likely gay or super cheesy looking. (if I said something really politically incorrect about gay male prostitutes, I'm sorry. Movies made me think that)

I'd much rather pay, if I had to choose. I saw an ad the other day that Heidi Fleiss is opening a brothel with male prostitutes outside of LV (brothels are legal in some counties in NV for those of you that don't know). At first I thought that would be a pretty sweet job ($250/hr was the listed pay). But then I thought about the type of women that would actually have to pay for sex and decided it wouldn't be all that great.

Yeah I know what you mean.
But if it was legal - the reasons "people resort to paying for sex" would probably change. Which would mean that people who just didn't want to go through the BS of the madonna/whore perception (women) or "gotta pay for dinner and girl crap" (men) to get laid might be those people who "resorted to paying for sex". That would be an interesting demographic shift.

I guess I don't know if it should be legal or not. Can of worms thing. But I think there are worse things that could happen than a regulated (health-wise) prostitution industry.

It would be interesting to see. I would be completely in favor of legalizing it and properly regulating it. For one, if two people are perfectly willing to engage in that transaction then there shouldn't be a problem. Plus it would completely marginalize the foreign women being forced into that profession against their will aspect (and all of the crime associated with that). I read somewhere that there hasn't been a single reported case of an STD from any of the Nevada brothels since they were made legal and regulated. That has to count for something compared to what happens if you were to pick up a random hooker on the street. I figure if people are going to do it anyway why not make it as safe and legitimate as possible.
