TIL that most people have no idea how the porn industry operates.

Equating porn to prostitution is like equating a stunt driver to that crazy asshole that ran you off the road.

The porn industry is pretty heavily regulated, requiring std checks, identification, consent forms, and witnesses.

Legal prostitution would attempt to achieve the same level of regulation, but due to the scale it will just result in more trafficing and abuse.

But there is a lot of porn I suspect that is not made in the USA or other countries with these legal frameworks in place and I suspect most people viewing it realistically do not really care where it is made (be honest!).

Prostitution on the other hand is always in the country where the service is provided. Big difference.

Porn is more pleasing when the girl sounds and looks like girls that you know. It gives it a more realistic feel. So consumers actually do care where the porn is made.

Unless you're attracted to women you consider "exotic", in which case the girl-next-door look would bore you.

I actually prefer amatuer porn made by couples.

Its authentic and everyone is having a good time.

I would think there would be hard data on this by now.

If you have it I would love to see it.
