WHy is porn legal and prostitution illegal ?

In the legal sense it's the camera as it becomes speech but IMHO a big part of the reason is the psychology of who "gets off" in the process. One is a trnsaction that allows others to get off. It's essentially done to titalate OTHER people. The other is something an individual does that gets THEIR rocks off and that's just a bridge too far for people.

I imagine if you gave people a choice and say ti went to a national referendum and the only choices were to either make porn 100% legal across the country (other than the obvious illegal categories) and have prostitution illegal OR make producing porn 100% illegal but prostitution legal that they vote would come in in favor of porn legal prostitution illegal.

There's soemthing about using another person's body for a busines tranaction to get your own rocks off that jut offends too many people's sensibilities.
