No, I agree that they aren't prostitutes. I also wouldn't die on the sword that their acting in the movies was them prostituting themselves. I believe that it was, but I can see the argument that it wasn't as well.

do you know if they engaged in actual sex in the movie, or were they just acting like they were having sex? I don't know, having never seen the movie (I ran from the room anytime my wife watched it).

They did not actually have sex.

bad luck wants all prostitution legalized and taxed at 99%.

I don't think 99% is reasonable and realistically, prostitution outside of a brothel would be almost impossible to tax.

then how were they prostituting themselves? By your definition engaging in sex for payment is prostitution. They did not engage in sex. They were just acting like prostitutes?

He also considers strippers prostitutes and they aren't even touching anyone.

"They were just acting like prostitutes?"

Pseudowhores, exactly!

Like I said, not really an argument that I'm willing to die on a sword for. I'm not even sure that I'm totally convinced that acting in a movie like 50 shades falls under the prostitution definition. I'm going to stick to the argument that it is, but I don't have a well thoughtout argument in support of my views and I'm not sure I care enough to develop one.

that's okay. Not sure I care enough to read it if you came up with one!! Can we come up with a more interesting topic? Like why the Red Sox and Red Sox fans suck?

The answer is because they just do!!!

Ummm, they are definitely touching during lap dances. In my opinion that is a sexual act.

so, any time a woman touches me we are engaging in a sexual act? Damn! I would have enjoyed it more if I had known!!! LOL

Not all strippers give lap dances.

And kissing is a sexual act. Are the people running kissing booths prostitutes?

"Ummm, they are definitely touching during lap dances. In my opinion that is a sexual act."

I don't think they're supposed to. (touch customers)
They can touch themselves for the customers viewing pleasure but I don't think they're allowed to well, you know.........

I lost my virginity on a crowded NY subway when we hit a turn and a woman’s arm brushed against my crouch.

I threw a dollar at her and said, “good job, prostitute.”
