Because we have choices? Duh. Different types of adult work for different people, everyone has their preference. Some do all 3, some do 1 or 2. A lot of girls use porn as a marketing platform for their stripping and escorting because there isn't much money to be made in porn especially if you're not willing to do everything under the sun. It can also help you get more money on cam as well.
Not every girl in our industry is the same. Some girls are just better at porn than stripping, some strippers are better at stripping than porn, some girls don't want to escort. We have preferences. And no ones salary is the same, so you can't say "Isn't dancing more money than porn." A dancer doesn't have a set salary and neither does porn.



Women aren't answering this. So as a guy whose shot porn (BDSM porn where the men are amateurs though the women are pros) I'll answer.
I know a lot of women who do porn. The really really value the ability to choose who they work with and work with men they trust. Also women in porn are much more "in control" than women who do stripping. More of less if a girl is going to do something extreme she's pushing for it. She's the one bringing it up. The negotiations for what's going to happen take place in an entirely non sexual way. Many times the "what" is like several weeks before over email. "No" on a porn set is taken very seriously, I've never even heard of a "no" not being respected. And it doesn't have to be justified either. I'm not a woman but I've said no to stuff, and that was the end of the discussion. Porn companies by an overwhelming majority do not want women doing stuff they are uncomfortable they look terrible on camera and can destroy a shoot. Strippers are constantly being pressured about their "no", it annoys the hell out of them as it should.
Secondly, female talent generally gets to somewhat pick the male talent they work with and visa versa. Women get to work with men, they know like and trust. Strippers and escorts frequently have to work with men they dislike and mistrust. The environment couldn't be safer. There is a camera guy just feet away. There are often other people there. They don't have to put up with any of the tension that strippers do.
Third, shooting porn feels a lot less like sex. While everyone is trying to create the illusion for the viewer of a sexual situation the actual shoot doesn't feel like that at all. Things are shot out of order. Things are shot over and over and over. There are stops in the action (if possible) for lightening changes and camera angle shifts. Ultimately remember the talent are creating a fantasy for the viewers not for each other. It is more like camming than stripping or escorting.
I'd say BTW the money in porn is generally worse than stripping and almost always worse than escorting. They are being paid less not more. And they are being paid less because it is a much better working environment IMHO.
I'm a Sugar Baby/Parlour Girl & that's how I feel about stripping, lol.
When I can find a good spa, I feel like I make as much or maybe a little less than a stripper with 1/2 the work.
I don't need to spend hours getting ready or invest in clothes... I sit & wait.
1/2 the time I study or sleep or work out, lol.
I think the choice of work really is preference.
For me, stripping is an entire lifestyle & I don't want that to be my life.
As a SB/MP I can bounce in/out of the world without being a lifer.... My biggest fear is being a lifer.
For example, my BF is away for a soccer tournament so I'm going to spend a night with my SD & make a quick 2k, but I don't want to have to communicate with him or invest in him regularly... I do it when I feel like it.
Maybe that makes me an unambitious hustler... I'm not sure, but it's how i choose to be.
I think it all boils down to who wants to invest in the lifestyle.
A dancer works full-time (usually) & her entire life revolves around that job the same way one deals with any job in any industry.
*Getting ready to get ready...*





The most amount of money is made in escorting. But not everyone wants to have sex with randos. Or can.
Many girls get into porn because they think there's still a lot of money in it. There's not. That changed in 2009/2010. There are a zillion new stunning porn girls with beautiful faces and perfect bodies now. There are probably 1/10th the amount of companies there were before the recession. They are paying talent a small fraction of what they used to. But its a good way to use a platform to launch other entrepreneurial venues using your fan base. But if you don't do that, and want to do it for money, it will be a rude awakening.





Did you do porn a long time ago or something? Or do you only work with top tier girls (i.e. girls who are very established)?
Porn girls, especially newbies or ones who are not established, are often placed with talent they may not want to work with. They often do not know who they will be working with that day until they get to set. The more established girls often have a "yes" list and a "no" list that they give to directors, but only because they have earned this right through going through that "newbie" stage of working with talent they may not want to work with. But a newbie girl could not get away with doing that.
Dancers have the ability to walk away or say no to whomever. Or they can choose to work in a very low contact club.
But again, many do not know who their talent will be until they arrive on set.
Not really. If you don't like the guy, you walk away. Or get a bouncer. Or tell a bouncer to check on you. And you're not having sex as a dancer. Your customer does not need to be in your personal space. You can even force him to sit on his hands.
So does escorting. Its not real. Even GFE. I have not escorted, but I have friends who have and they all tell me its not real and men don't even last long. Many times they don't even have sex.
I agree to an extent. It depends which pornstar(s) you are comparing and which areas for dancing you are comparing. You would make more doing porn in LA/SF/NY as a conventionally hot girl than you would dancing. But it depends how well you brand yourself and how well you network. And for dancing in those areas (and many areas) your success depends on how thin you are (because that means top tier clubs will hire you where you can make decent money).
And many pornstars do escort. I would probably estimate 30-50% escort. They are on the few major luxury escorting sites, so you can cross-reference. I'm sure more are listed using other names and with stock photos, too.
I don't think that's why the porn talent is being paid less. The working conditions are good/professional, but the real reason they are being paid less is oversaturation. There are a zillion brand new super hot perfect-faced pornstars who have come out in 2010-2012. Stunning ones. So it has set the bar really, really high. Its not the 80s or 90s where you could be a 6/10 and still get a lot of porn work. The ones getting steady porn work are the ones who are 9s and 10s, who also work their ass off at not only building a name brand, but also who are heavily involved in social media and branching out into other non-adult ventures entirely.
Another reason why porn talent is paid less is due to the wide availability of free porn on tube sites. Porn companies still make money through advertising revenue from people watching those free vids, but they can get away with paying the talent less.
And yet another reason is because porn benefits do pay off if you know how to use those benefits. Think Traci Lords. Jenna Jameson. Sasha Grey. Jessie Andrews even, who I bet will be the next Sasha. You can do whatever you want in entertainment with your porn fame if you're personable, pretty, and different. Acting (though that's a rarity), music, fashion, writing, media, business ventures. A lot of people see this happening over and over, and want that for themselves. Farrah Abraham (teen mom), anyone? Paris Hilton? Kim Kardashian?
So basically, it just depends what your goals are. It depends what you want to do. But many girls do use porn for exposure. But if you're iffy about porn and don't have anything you want to use your porn exposure for, then its pointless to do it. If you're chasing money, you should be an escort. If you like dancing, flirting, and hustling, you should be a dancer. If you are a homebody with a pretty face, you should try camming. It just depends what you want to do.



No I'd say much the opposite. Most of the women I worked with had done under 150 scenes. I did work once with a woman on her first scene. She was working with me and another guy because a women she trusted, trusted him and me. That's pretty close.
Well yes. Newbies don't know who they want to work with or what exactly they want to do. Ultimately they have to trust someone.
I don't think dancers have that much flexibility in practice. Obviously they can reject the bottom 10-20% of their customer base. But there is a huge difference between that and porn where the women are often choosing the male talent they work with.
I've never been a woman doing escorting. But as an escorting customer it certainly feels a heck of a lot more real to me as a customer than shooting porn did. Shooting porn I think has more in common with shooting a commercial for cream cheese than sex. Escorting IMHO is about 90% of the way there to what casual sex feels like.
That's true. Most of the women doing porn were using porn to advance in other areas.
But that begs the question. Obviously low wages are a result of supply of female talent outstripping demand. But then the question is why the flood of girls? And that IMHO comes down to good (or at least better) working conditions. They are willing to work for less because the work, compared to other types of sex work is rather good.
Agree.
Agree.





They do. Travel dancing. Working in low contact clubs. They have the ability to walk away from any customer, or build a relationship with any bouncer/dance tracker. Less so than a cam girl of course (ban button!), but they still have that ability. Moreso than you would think so, as a customer.
It would solely depend on how the escort markets herself.
I only feel like that's true with women who stay in porn. I feel like most girls who do porn don't go into it because they want to advance their career in other areas, and then they go back to having a normal life when they can't get work anymore. Its only the really model-pretty or really business-minded ones who end up advancing in other areas, from their porn career.
Stripping is flooded too. If not more than porn, honestly. Which is why you now have to travel to make good money dancing.





I dont agree that porn is offering better working conditions therefore a new influx of talent - girls are not as hung up on the social stigma attached to sex work ( in all forms ) that they used to be - more women are willing to wear the scarlet letter and tell everyone to go F themselves - Just my opinion



I think porn is a more stable source of income when comparing it to being a dancer or escort. I have a friend who used to dance and thank God she went to porn because some nights she would come home with $14, $56 and twice -50( she didn't make any money and still had to payout) and now she steady makes 3 grand a week for only working at most 12hrs a week and she is not even truly doing her job for the full 12hrs. After a while once you get a following, you can brand toys, become features at clubs so it definitely gives you more exposure then just being a stripper or escort would.





I think each aspect of sex work has it's pro's and con's - as an INDIVIDUAL you work in the field that best suits your individuality and offers the pro's or con's that you can / choose to live with - I really don't think it is much more complicated than that - but what do I know



Nikki 100-150 years ago in many major cities (NY, Chicago, London) as much as 4% of the female population were prostitutes. That number has been gradually decreasing to the current day. The decrease in street prostitution swamps anything else going on with sex workers in terms of sheer numbers. Add 5x as many women doing porn as there are today as there were a generation ago and that is still nowhere near enough women to replace all the women who used to be on the street every night that aren't anymore.
That being said... I wish sex workers were as outspoken and upfront as you claim. I think it would be fantastic for the women. I've often said that strippers and dominatrixes should have the same kind of relationship with their regulators (vice) that I do with mine (the FCC). You all should have political institutions representing your interests both in terms of working conditions within clubs and representing your interests politically, the same way I have political institutions which represent my interests with respect to America's telcos and also represent my interests on federal law and FCC regulation. I meet with the FCC every year for several hours to discuss the new regulations and for them to explain their enforcement proposals and we (the entire industry) try and reach consensus and policy. There is no good reason that something similar shouldn't be happening between strippers and vice except for the lack of structures by the women in sex work demanding those sorts of changes to their relationship. I wish for all of your sakes that women were willing to do what you say. But as I learned painfully during the NY crackdown in 2009, the answer is they just aren't.
Strip club owners incidentally have been willing to fight. And that's why the corporate clubs can exist today.
An exception to this cowering relationship that effects a lot more people has been porn. Porn companies have gone the distance with "vice" both for the companies and the performers. When the US justice department has made arrests in the last decade they have to go all the way to court and often through appeal. People in the porn business have not pled out to a lesser charge as quickly as possible, and as a result the justice department has frequently lost cases and has gotten more and more reluctant to prosecute anything other than child porn. So porn is now a truly legal business. Many of the 1980s porn stars had to fear arrest, while the 2013 porn stars aren't worried about it. Certainly there is a shift within sex workers that far more women are willing to do porn. For example making videos is becoming kinda standard among camgirls which could turn into a whole major branch of sex workers. That is a flood of inexpensive porn created by the performers themselves for their own promotion.





Well - fortunately for women we got the right to vote - 150 years ago women were chattel ( aka property ) and job opportunities were not so readily available to us - women in unfortunate circumstances had few options - finding a new husband was usually the best option - and this is 2013 and most people have a smart phone or have a friend who does and can get access to advertise their services on USAsex guide or backpage thus no need to walk the streets - so to make that comparison to me doesnt fly - to many social / technological factors have changed to make a true comparison
There have been many discussions on here about legalizing prostitution - most ladies who are working now have no interest in this becoming a reality - the reason being it will open the flood gates of more women entering the industry and driving prices down even more - the hot / beautiful full service ladies charging 250hr could charge 1000k or more per hour as little 10 or 15 years ago - taxes - we make more money by being willing to take the chance of being busted - search the threads there were other reasons given but those were a couple of the main ones mentioned
strip clubs in my opinion are losing ground in this battle - look at how many states / cities have a no nudity rule - no touching or getting within a certain range of the customer - my city has lost MAJOR convention money because of this and several clubs have went under - some corporate clubs have been hit with the contractor vs employee battle -
when the our city / clubs started enforcing the nudity /touching rules many ladies who were totally happy working in the club were forced to include escorting to their services as they could no longer pull in the money that they did before with strictly dancing - it may be different in other areas but that is what happened in mine

I think there are two issues here:
- What percentage of all sex workers are prostitutes?
- What has been the change in population of prostitutes through time?
- What is the mix of street prostitution vs alternatives (brothals, escorts…)?
I'm arguing that (1) has always been high that when we talk about sex workers prostitutes really drive a huge the changes. The late 80's and 90s might be an exception. That there has been a huge drop off in (2) and that drop off means a huge drop off in sex workers. I agree with you completely that in the last generation there has been a huge shift away from street prostitution and towards escorts. I agree technology helped. I also think enforcement is the driving factor: the cops are truly nasty towards street prostitution but much more tolerant towards AMP (brothels) and escorts.
I've seen the opposite, I think the majority of women who work in the interest favor decriminalization. I will agree that far fewer want legalization, mainly because legalization means a great deal of government interference. I think the women are wrong, legalization and decriminalization would drive demand up way beyond current levels. Look at what happened with porn, stripping and domination all of which are grey market now.
Agree with you on the nudity / touching rules being often quite destructive. The rule is simply ridiculous it goes beyond what is sustainable. I guess in some sense I could picture such a world. I could imagine clubs with really high end dancing and expensive drinks existing in somewhat greater numbers. But there is just nowhere near enough demand for that sort of club to sustain anything like the size of the current industry. So I think the bulk of dancers would be in some sort of dive, bikini bars where the women make their money selling drinks and playing pool but that's a low wage kinda stripping. Strippers would go back to mainly being paid by the club or getting a commission on alcohol sales.
I just don't see that lasting. Which is why I think there is going to continue to be this weird sort of tension.





ask the Amsterdam market what legalization does to market value pricing
yes the number of prostitutes has dropped - women now have more options in the sex work industry than were available in the past - even as late as the 90's when camming started - phone sex - strip clubs - porn - camming - street walkers and brothels are on the decline due to alternative methods of delivery and the ability to generate customers outside of those methods
yes the number of prostitutes has decreased over the last 150 years due to the above ^ and the fact that women are now more widely educated and have more equal opportunities in the vanilla job market than we had in the past - even into the late 70's a women's credit was tied to her husbands - she was not seen as a separate entity - in the late 70's I attended cosmetology school - i was in my late teens - the class had many many women in it that were in the 30's and 40's who had been non-working housewives - their husband left them and they were scared or they finally got brave enough to walk out of a bad situation and try to make it on their own - some had never handled a checking account or paid a bill - i believe the word oppressed sums up the state of women in the past genreations - that has only been 20ish years ago and today it seems ridiculous to think of a women being scared of taking care of herself or not having paid a bill or having her own credit -
The ladies in verified know of my dear friend who recently passed away - she was 72 and was a former prostitute and house mother at a brothel - she is a classic example of my point of view -- she was married to an abusive husband ( as many were years ago ) - she had 4 children - he died of a heart attack ( to her relief) - now she was faced with the responsibility to feed and care for 4 children with no formal education or job experience - she took a job as a waitress at a truck stop near her home - we all know you can barely feed yourself waiting tables much less 4 kids - through some connections at the truck stop she ended up working at a local brothel and was able to sustain her and her children - she left her house everyday in white scrubs under the guise that she was a nurses aide - when she retired from seeing clients she became the house mother and eventually ended her sex work career answering phones at an agency - in that earlier time and era there were few social services to provide support and more women found themselves in this position - today's women are at an advantage over the women in the past and have more options



Don't have any inside information here, I have 0 European escort friends. When I'm a john in European countries where prostitution is legal or decriminalized I'm paying comparable prices to the USA, if not a bit more. And I'm not going high end here. Take FKK club for example. It runs about $125 admission which goes to the "house" and then $100 per 1/2 hr per girl. I'd say the women appear to be working about 60+% of the 1/2 hours. That's not bad prices for most USA women working in a supervised environment with security and monitoring. I pay $180-250 1 hr in NJ for an escort in a hotel. And I pay $50-80 to the house +50-100 to the girl for an AMP in the USA. So at least from the outside it looks pretty similar.
I'm agreeing with this. I'm just saying that if the number of prostitutes is dropping fast, and prostitutes are a large majority of sex workers then ... the number of sex workers is dropping. It is just math.





I agree.
I do not agree. The exceptional girl with mainstream modeling qualities would still make a killing as an escort and could easily charge 2k/hour with a multiple hour requirement. Some of the going rates for porn stars right now usually start at $1,500-$1,800 per hour. Many girls in porn do not get that much work, especially after a year or 2.
I agree, just do what you want regardless of how much it pays. Unfortunately, this discussion is about pay though since the OP posted that.
I doubt that %/# is correct. The difference is, there are a zillion people (probably as high as like 10% or more!) who either escort as a career, or at least dabble in it. The difference is, almost NO ONE knows they do it. It was well known 100-150 years ago because it was those who were poor. Now, people call it escorting or sugar babying half the time, or "arrangements" and I guess its not prostituting or hooking. But even hollywood is heavily invested in this. The girls just have other careers. Allegedly, Diana Jenkins Room 23, anyone?
Yes, I agree. There are pros and cons to escorting being legalized. You'd make a small fraction of what you're making now if it were legal, and that is consensus. Escorting would flood so hard and you'd get a bunch of girls going ~*having sex is ok, I will charge $50 an hour, weeeee*~.
I highly doubt this is the case. The difference is, "prostitutes" and street hookers are probably decreasing, but more women than EVER before are selling sex. They just have other careers, and sex/escorting is a side thing. Models, actresses, people with vanilla jobs. So while there may be less prostitution, there are still more women selling sex in general. Just they don't think of themselves as prostitutes so they no longer receive that title.

yeah, knightwish, where are you getting that the number of escorts/prostitutes has diminished? or the amount of sex workers? considering a lot of us are undercover, under the table, and indy, there really is no way of really telling how many of us are out there..there is no census that's really going to be realisitic.



Simone there are rather good studies on most types of criminal activity. If you are talking contemporary and USA various US agencies, some state agencies and the UN keep track of these figures. I don't work law enforcement so this is going to go over my head rather quickly. But it is my understanding from people who work law enforcement that capture–recapture statistics give a very good measure of the size of vario.us criminal populations. While not having investigated the details that makes sense statistically. It really wouldn't matter how you were getting paid, as long as the was some level of police enforcement. Police arrest prostitutes, we have excellent statistics on arrest and from those arrest numbers we can generate good information about the size of the underlying population.
Now if we start GlamourRouge's situation of casual prostitution, i.e. people who sell themselves at most a couple times a year and where there is no law enforcement... that's get's harder to count. It also gets harder to consider the woman a prostitute at all. That sort of thing is very grey. Do you count the girl who sleeps with the boy she otherwise wouldn't sleep with but does like so she can go on an expensive vacation? Do you count the girl who starts having sex after getting an expensive piece of jewelry? Do you count the man who sleeps with his boss to get a promotion that carries with it a raise? I'd want to 0 all that stuff out as too complex and ambiguous and focus on professionals.





Studies can only study 1.) KNOWN prostitutes (those who are open about it or get caught) which is no where near the majority, and b.) prostitutes. not high class escorts, or people who escort on the side (aka most people). Its very well known that most models or entrepreneurs whom you cannot tell HOW they make their money but they have a lot of it... well, they are almost always an escort. So those stats are very incorrect, or inapplicable to this discussion.
Most "professionals" don't call themselves prostitues. In fact, it would be DUMB for a professional to do so. She would get denied for loans from a bank, her accounts would be flagged for suspicious activity, her own abilities as a mother (if she has kids) would be questioned and legally threatened. Most of them have an LLC that implies another line of work, along with a good cover story. Most professionals also have a vanilla trade, are a model, a porn star, or have something else going on in their life. However, they are still professionals. Selling sex is still their main income source. And many work all the time. I doubt many girls out there have sex for a piece of jewelry lol. Most "sugar babies" have exchanges for cash. Otherwise, why else would someone do that? They are professionals.



That's not true. That's the whole theory of statistics you can just know just about everything about a population through sampling. As long as a steady percentage of the women are getting caught it makes no difference if some of them never get caught, the study is just as effective.
Assume I have a jar of jellybeans. Each jellybean is numbered. Allow some of them to be different sizes. Each day I reach in and grab a scoop of jellybeans list the numbers (i.e. individual identifier), the size (chance of getting caught). From that data I can tell you. Assume that once a month take a big scoop away and replace it with new jellybeans some of which might have been in jar in previous months. From that data:
a) I can tell how many jellybeans there are in the jar at any time.
b) I can give you a statistical breakdown of the sizes of the jellybeans.
c) I can tell how large your scoop is
d) I can tell what percentage of the jellybeans in your scoop are new and which had been in the jar
etc... If one of the jellybeans never gets into my scoop it still gets counted because i have the statistical correlation information that takes the existence of that uncaught jellybean into account.
Now once you start talking about people who aren't going to get caught: a model who is tricking, that's a jellybean not in the jar. But as long as we are talking the population subject to law enforcement scrutiny, we have good information.
Doesn't matter. What matters is what LE causes them. The same way FBI statistics on bank robbers don't matter what percentage consider themselves to be bank robbers.
We are talking non professionals now if you start expanded to casual prostitution. This is why it gets tricky. If you want to strictly talk women who have sex with men in exchange for cash. I think we have good data because those sorts of relationship are subject to capture-recapture numbers.





Not if no one in the sample identifies as a prostitute, though does prostitute acts in exchange for money (aka is one but will never tell anyone and files taxes pretending to be something else).
The ones LE catches are usually the street walker types or the ones who do not screen. The savvy professional ones almost never ever get caught. So they are never in the statistics. And they would probably triple (or more) the % if they were included.
It doesn't work that way with escorting/prostituting. The higher the amount of cash being put transferred from one hand to another, the LESS likely you are to be caught. So its normally low end escorts (no screening) and street walkers who get busted. Majority of people having sex for money are definitely high end ones, and they screen and are selective like a MF. Most do not even ever talk about the fact that they escort.
Okay so that data would not apply to this discussion then.





First off, there are no accurate statistics of how many prostitutes (escorts and streetwalkers), porn actresses or exotic dancers exist. Never have been, never will be. Any written material claiming statistical analysis is based on a small sample group and will always be colored by whatever group organized the statistical study. In this day and age even many girls who do porn are doing it as "amateurs" We are talking about sex work here and the fact of the matter is the vast majority of it happens under the radar as far as any sort of accurate record-keeping is concerned. That doesn't mean that what happens in one segment of the sex industry doesn't effect what happens in another. My personal belief, based on conversations with women who have been involved in all segments of the industry, is that preferences and circumstances drive a woman's decision to participate in one or multiple aspects of the industry. In the case of streetwalkers it is mostly desperation.
Stripping and doing porn are not the same thing by any stretch of the imagination but the question of which is easier or brings more financial reward lies with the performer. Everyone has a different set of personal boundaries and different preferences for how they invest their time vs. the financial rewards that the time investment reaps. I'm very close friends with a dancer who did porn back in the mid to late 90's when the money was very good. The money for a dancer was also very good back then but, for someone trying to put herself through college, the chance to clear a large sum of money by shooting porn scenes a few months out of the year when dancing was slow was hard to turn down. Other girls will just go out and get student loans. Different strokes for different folks.
Now, one could argue that doing porn is no different than escorting but that's not really true. Aside form the obvious legal aspects there are other differences. A porn set is a controlled environment. Escorting, no matter how much screening a woman does, is not. People acting in a porn scene are there to work. The male actor is not paying the female actor to give him an orgasm or even to please him. The talent is there to serve the director and his vision of what the scene should be. Folks who are not familiar with escorting as either a worker or a client may be inclined to think that "anything goes" but that is far from the truth. Every escort has her boundaries and a "do not see" list for guys who don't respect those boundaries. By the same token, porn actresses have "won't do" lists that include both certain sex acts and certain male talent. Porn money has gone way down over the years and it has become more common for porn actresses to escort as well. Some can transition but others can't. One gal I tried to book with a few years ago cancelled three trips to Boston. When she finally showed, booking through an agency, she bailed after a couple of appointments and left town with the agency's share of the money. On the other hand, I've had girls who did porn refer to escorting as "shooting a scene with no camera" Again, different strokes...
I've known Dancers who escorted and escorts who danced but I've also know escorts who said that they could never take their clothes off in a room full of strangers and dancers who said that they could never have sex for money. It's all about personal boundaries and even those can change over time.
I think that much of it is based on being a safe environment; but that also depends on what kind of porn it is. Cam girls can do everything from the safety of their own home and can even lie about what state they are in.
Dancers have to work in front of a live audience of drunk strangers, who might grab them or worse. They than get walked out to their car by a bouncer in case any creepers are hanging around the parking lot.
Escorts meet up with people individually and any one of them might be a creeper, rapist or killer.
Also there there just is the idea of different comfort levels for different people. Some people are more comfortable dancing naked in front of an audience than having sex with a person with money. Others are more worried that if they do porn there will be pics/vids out there for ever that somebody might find years later. If you dance the worst somebody has on you is a story that they once saw you in a club.
