Prostitution is not legal, so why is porn? In both, people get paid for sex. But one is criminal, while the other is so-called “free speech”.
Throughout history, it has been legal far more often than not.
In fact, there have been very few places that prostitution was completely illegal for very long.
I am not sure it should be legal... but, in fact, it very seldom has been completely illegal.
Safer than marriage for a great deal of men.
The resolution of your dilemma comes by making them both free. THere’s no putting the genie back in the bottle.
