Flashpoint : If struggling women ever got the idea that selling sex was safe, profitable and could get them the things they wanted, every decent girl out there would turn into a whore with an OLD BENZ.

I consider that an insult to decent women!

I wonder how prostitutes are doing right now.
I don’t know about the USA, but my Canadian sources say they’re hurting (in Canada, non-streetwalker prostitution is decriminalized). The boom times are over – the newbie young competition is hungrier, the customers are more frugal, and many of their US clients are having problems with the new border regs.

+1 to psarhjinian regarding today’s porn and IT employment. Programmers and digital cameramen can make a good living in the biz.

ajla: that was Savannah [no last name]. Blonde. And “True Hollywood Story” feature.

@ John Horner: because Hollywood long ago established the legality of putting hookers in front of cameras and calling them movie stars.It’s show business.
The other, well that’s just icky nasty amateur sex. For money. This is art.

Good grief.

She does porn vids, and her parents still support her financially!? Talk about indulgent parents.

You’re a sucker if you pay for porn.

Actually, if you pay for porn on the internet you’re supporting a number of people I know. Unfortunately, they’re all network, IT security or app-development people.

It’s rather like paying for music actually, except the screwing is a little less overt in pornography.

***Someone explain this to me: A third party movie producer pays two people to have sex with each other on camera, and that is legal. But when one person pays another person to have sex with them it is illegal prostitution. How does that make any sense?***

A quick basic primer….

Porn v. Prostitution

The solution is, of course, obvious. Hire a prostitute and film it.

The actual answer is that it doesn’t. There’s nothing inherently wrong with the sex trade just as there’s nothing inherently wrong with drugs or guns. It’s the use (or misuse) that causes problems.

The root cause is what poverty can make women (and men) do as part of the sex trade. Or the drug trade. Or via gun violence. The core problem is poverty, but there’s no money in addressing poverty.

John and Edward: Good points indeed. I am just going to pay myself and a hooker to have sex and film it with my phone camera so I can have it for posterity to maximize the investment.

John Horner: The same way marijuana prohibition “works.” The uptight get to believe that outlawing (potentially) victimless crimes makes a difference, thus never suspecting that that half of their otherwise-normal neighbors are taking full advantage of medical laws.

And that is why the first-generation Impreza is the best Subaru ever.

How about a cash for clunkers deal for porn?

I thought you meant for the performers!

@Flashpoint: HPV -> cervical/anal/vulvar/penile cancer is not news, but the association with throat cancer is newer.

Now to worry, there are vaccines for women.

She’s got improper toe or is running under-inflated. Probably both. Those Conti’s need to be moved to the rear…

I’m surprised there still is a market for porn. Used to be you’d have to go to a movie theater.. then VHS/Beta, then DVD’s and now online. The distribution was what was so expensive, and now with home made stuff or free online access, the money trail appears to have dried up (oh yeah, pun intended)

And that’s why I love Porsche 968’s.

I love the theoretical idea of being a male porn star but getting your new BFF for life, Mr. Herpes, ain’t worth $150,000 a year (and dudes don’t make anything close to the women).

I wonder how prostitutes are doing right now.

Heh, I guess that depends where you live. In Detroit, they were wiped out not by the economic storm, but by King Kwame, our former mayor. You’d think Detroit would be full of them, but not anymore. Porn and hookers aren’t the same thing though.

the German and Japanese offerings are of a higher standard.

But are also really weird.

Hmm..
Actually

TEXN3 :
loverofcars1969 :

Actually it sucks, it blows, it swallows and its .. all over her.

Now that that is over..

I think its funny as hell, that this minx dumped her SLK350 for a used T/B. I think its absolutely hysterical.

Id just like to know..
How much of her money did she actually save.

Probably blew it.. on hookers (her best friends) and beer.

P.S
There is actually a GM come back from bankruptcy ZING in there somewhere.

@superbadd75: Nevada wasn’t looking so hot last year for legal prostitution thanks to the combination of high diesel prices and having to drive 1hr from Las Vegas to get to the brothels. I wonder how they’re doing this year with the economic downturn and cheaper diesel.
