I think assuming porn production is intrinsically 'dirty' in a way that, say, a cocktail party with 20 ppl wouldn't be is exactly the sort of prudishness you're claiming is irrelevant here.

Hell, a family with three kids and a gallon of ice cream seems more likely to create an obscene mess than all but the most avant garde of porn (though I don't have kids and have never made a porn, so this is speculation)

So you’re telling me if you were renting out your house for $100/night, you would be OK with a porn crew filming scenes in your bed/rooms in an effort to skirt the system (of porn companies paying thousands per day per location) instead of renting to a family of 4? Seems highly unlikely and those homeowners have every right to ensure a covert porn scene is not shot in their homes.

Me personally? Yes. It doesn't matter to me if the people being intimate on my bed while I am away are married or porn stars. I am planning on washing the sheets just as thoroughly either ways.

My point wasn't that I'd be a-ok in the homeowner's shoes.

I'd be pretty pissed off if people rented my place for any business purposes under the guise of tourists.

...Newman.

I would be somewhat annoyed, but I don't think much can be done about that. Turning away porn actors probably isn't an effective way.

Are you missing the taxes they would have paid?
