    how weird it is that doing sex for money on camera generally is seen as distinct from doing sex for money off camera, even though that’s effectively an arbitrary legal and moral distinction to make. you can’t even point to an obvious difference between the two that justifies the distinction

    This is just obtuse - sex on camera isn’t done for the gratification of the participants. None of the people engaged in the sexual act is paying to get off.

      …have you talked to any person who has sex on camera? i would venture to guess that at least a supermajority of them do it at least partially for the reasons you describe. i’m also pretty sure most people do not or would not find “getting paid to have sex on camera” an undesirable profession to have.

          I like how you conveniently ignored the second sentence in my comment.

          yes: because it’s wrong, unless you think absolutely nobody pays for porn (and that most people don’t accordingly do porn because they are being paid to engage in an on-camera sexual behavior). you are making a distinction in the causal actions that lead to the creation of most on-camera sexual acts and the causal actions that lead to most sex work being done, when there practically isn’t one. both are being done as a voluntary exchange of services and/or goods between consenting people.

            Again - you’re being deliberately obtuse. I’m not going to converse with someone who is so determined to ignore my substantive point.

          That’s the second sentence that you are referring to, right?

          Please, reiterate the point you are trying to make.
