Porn vs. Prostitution
Pros•ti•tute n.
1. Somebody who receives money in return for sexual intercourse or other sex acts.
2. Somebody who uses a skill or ability in a way that is considered unworthy, usually for financial gain
I think we have to look at the definitions. If we hold true to the definition of prostitute, we can see that an adult film actor is indeed a prostitute. They are receiving money for sexual acts. If you look at the second definition, you will see that many of us are indeed prostitutes, depending on what we do for a living. If you do something that requires absolutely no skill, and you have your job and are only using a talent that most other people are gifted with, then you are a prostitute, too! But I have to say, there is pornography, and there is good pornography. Perhaps professionally it trancends into an artform, where there is actually talent (and attractive people), from a couple people just trying to make a buck.
