Sex domain gets official approval - .xxx

Speaking of prostitution. Why is it legal to pay a man and woman to have sex for a porno shoot when it is illegal to sell your body for sex to a client?

Because if they're making a movie out of it, it's "free speech".
 
'' I just assessed that the risk of going to jail was too high.''

Is it actually illegal to be a girlfriend who will cost? I think, that is a grey area that cant be proven as professional. Gifts or wages? Can it be determined?
Yes, there are lots of gray areas. But I would have lost my "day job" regardless. Just an investigation could have cost me my job.


''I didn't want that kind of attention.''

The customers are the only ones who know what happened for sure, and they woudnt tell surely? They dont want that kind of attention either.
No doubt! But sometimes it happens anyway. Perhaps one of the gals who worked for the same agency wanted to make a buck and sell her story? You just don't know what people are going to do, and what evidence they may have.

''You don't scrap the industry because of the crime. ''

What if you had a daughter? Would you mind if she was lured into the sex industry for the cash? Laws should also protect against this type of availibility of opportunity, that many might not take, if they had options to earn big, in another area. Just because women are excluded from the worlds highest earners, shouldnt mean we are not protected from some of the options available, that we could choose for want of an alternative.
Okay, I object to your use of the word "lured" simply because it implies something unseemly. We are all "lured" to our jobs for the cash. We all determine what we will or will not do for money, and how much money we will do it for. There is NO job out there currently, for men or women, that pays what a high class call girl/prostitute/escort makes in the same amount of time. The main reason for that is that it's illegal, though. ;) I'm all for making it legal for safety reasons, but I admit that making it legal would cut down on the profit motive for certain.

I have worked my way up in jobs that are, or used to be male dominated fields. There is nothing stopping women but women themselves. The sexism I have experienced along the way has never stopped me. If anything, it has pushed me harder. I'm all for empowering women, but there is nothing - in this country - holding women back from anything. (except in the military) I didn't choose to be an escort due to the inability for me to get a high paying job because I was a woman. I chose it because it was EASY, quick money. I couldn't get those higher paying jobs at the time due to lack of education and skills. Something I have taken steps to rectify, seeing as though I am now in management.

I've often wondered the same thing. LOL

I've also often wondered why it's not okay to sell service that you can give away for free.
 
It is exploitative and degrading. It encourages people to treat their sex partners like disposable toys. It encourages unhealthy sexual behaviors. It distracts people from healthy sexual relationships with real people.

Can you prove that?
Also, who are you to tell women what to do with there bodies? Whether they degrade themselves or not is there choice. Its like punishing people for embarrassing themselves. I want to live in a free, liberal society, as i would say the majority of people do. Therefore, your ideas regarding this paticular topic, to me, is unacceptable, and authoritarian.

It does seem kinda strange. It's legal to have sex with whoever who want to, but it's illegal to do it for cash. Plus you can do it for cash as long as it's for porno... The law is inconsistent and illogical when it comes to the sex industries.

LOL No kidding. Someone could walk up to me on the street, hand me $500 and it would be perfectly fine.

I could walk up to someone on the street, say "You wanna ****?" and take them home and **** them and that's perfectly fine.

But put the two together and it's suddently OMG THINK OF TEH CHILDRENZ!

Yeah, it just seems stupid and illogical in my opinion to outlaw prostitution but have everything else all fine and legal. Any girl can marry and sleep with a rich guy for his cash, but that isn't illegal either. Essentially the government is giving license to porn companies to break current laws. I'm no expert on the law, but wouldn't it be illegal for a man to pay two girls to have lesbian sex so that he can watch them? Isn't that prostitution as well? It's essentially the same thing the porn industry does yet they get a legal pass. the law is just inconsistent and illogical, but this topic is for another thread I guess.
 
''There is NO job out there currently, for men or women, ...''

There are 'jobs' that pay men that much. That is how your ex customers could afford what you charged. If it wasnt for how much cash is at stake, some of the worlds most sleezy dictators wouldnt bother with their 'jobs'



And, the captains of industry in even more reputable coutries are earning mind boggling amounts. And, bankers in certain postitions are. Those who are in with the 'old boys school' dont need to exert themselves.



''There is nothing stopping women but women themselves. The sexism I have experienced along the way has never stopped me.''

I think it has. You are not earning, what you want to earn, when you are not an escort.



And sexism does stop women, because sexism has created the situation where all the major power systems were set up by men, to suit men. Women do suceed, but against the odds. And usually the ones that do succeed to some extent, are the ones who learned to use their masculine side, at the expense of their feminine side. Women these days are gaining somewhat as regards employment opportunities, but most are losing on the happiness scale. It is a high price to pay, but hopefully it will pay off. As women make inroads into all areas, the status quo will slowly shift and women will more and more be able to work in a way that suits them.
 
They could just use servers in dodgy countries and portals to avoid their location being detectable.

It really doesn't matter if they get caught or not. What they are probably most concerned about is view-ability. Now, they are likely going to be discrete about there website, and make a name that doesn't lift any eyebrows. But using a .xxx website could attract some attention and get them blacklisted in various countries.

Since website hoster's have thousands and thousands of customers, how would they regulate the content of each website? It just wouldn't be feasible to implement .xxx only porn sites. And there would need to be an international law passed to be able to make it illegal for porn websites to be hosted on non-.xxx domains. Anyway, im far more comfortable knowing that if the government ever WHERE to censor porn, they'd have to go through hell and back to do it.

I don't consider being a dictator a "job".

But they earned their way there. I could have gotten into higher class agencies and pulled in many thousands per hour, if I had wanted put forth the effort. I also could have been a doctor, or a lawyer, or any number of other things.

Who the hell does? Man or woman? How many people do you know personally who is making what they WANT to make? I don't know a single person who does. I'd like to be making $10,000 /hr, but the reason I'm not making that has nothing to do with me having tits.

I don't consider using one's brains and skills to get what they want, to be "using their masculine side".

So did others, but do not earn to the same levels. And, why isnt being a dictator a job? They 'run' a country and 'earn' money for it. None of them are women, though.



''Who the hell does?''

Some do. For example, I am happy to live simply, and earn moderately. Or course more is always appreciated, but not necessary to keep me happy.



''I don't consider using one's brains and skills to get what they want, to be "using their masculine side". ''

There is more to whats happening than this, especially when it comes to earning sums of 1000+ per hour.

Good. I think that speaks highly of women.

So then why are you complaining about women not making as much money as they want? Apparently, YOU do.

I just don't see it, sorry. I don't see race or gender holding anyone back. I see only individuals holding themselves back.
 
''So then why are you complaining about women not making as much money as they want?''

Because, I dont think I am the centre of the universe. Sexism is wrong. It is not all about what I personally want.



''I just don't see it, sorry. I don't see race or gender holding anyone back.''

Sexism and racism are not figments of societies imagination. They do exist, and they do affect people.

LMFAO I wasn't implying you were. But here you are saying that it's not possible for women to make enough money, and yet you make what you consider to be "enough" money.

Most PEOPLE wouldn't say they make enough money, so this line of reasoning is just ... not really logical. It's purely subjective. Everyone always wants to make more.

No ****. Yes, they do exist. As I said, I've have experienced both. Didn't hold me back. The majority of the people in this country are NOT racist and sexist. Racism and sexism nowadays are just convenient excuses for people who don't want to work hard enough. There may be one or two jobs that someone won't get due to racism or sexism, but for every one of those, there are dozens that racism and sexism don't come into play.
 
It encourages people to treat their sex partners like disposable toys. It encourages unhealthy sexual behaviors. It distracts people from healthy sexual relationships with real people.

/sarcasm on
Yeah because that NEVER happened before porn came around.
/sarcasm off

The biggest problem with forcing companies to go to the .xxx is their domain name might not be availble or already taken from a same name domain.

example site.net and site.com are both pornsites, you can't force them to a single .xxx and still maintain their name.

Or are you saying the government should now be in the habit of naming sites as well?
