Some legal jurisdictions consider commercial Pornography as a form of Prostitution , though most commercial sex film performers do not regard themselves as prostitutes for various reasons. Most notably these performers are usually not paid directly by their sexual partners for the sex but through an agency and directly choose their partners themselves. Some sex film performers do not receive money at all for their inclusion in such films. In this instance, they do so for promotion of their other works such as artistry paintings and sculptures, or have no sex in the films such as repeat performers in the famous '' Girls Gone Wild '' film series. HISTORY Many different performers had performed in various sex films since the beginning of photography. Many so called "penny arcades" of the early 1900s had early frame flicker hand cranked films and "rotoscope" (Holmes-style Stereoscope ) glasses that featured "racy" pictures of women, mostly in bare breasted pictures, though a few actually showed women in full frontal nudity with fewer still showing them in actual sexual couplings. There have been many films and photographs that showed sexual acts including the World War II series of erotic German home movies known as the " Sachsenwald Films ", recorded secretly in Nazi Germany 1941.1 But most performers of these early photograph and film recordings usually chose to remain anonymous due to extreme social pressure and legal banning against open sexual actions. The generally acknowledged first porn star with specific (stage) name recognition was Linda Lovelace from the United States, who starred in the 1972 feature '' Deep Throat ''. The success of this movie, which grossed hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide, spawned a slew of other films and pornographic film stars such as Marilyn Chambers ('' Behind The Green Door ''), Gloria Leonard ('' The Opening Of Misty Beethoven ''), Georgina Spelvin ('' The Devil In Miss Jones ''), and Bambi Woods ('' Debbie Does Dallas ''). This era has been termed by some to be '', Ginger Lynn Allen , Veronica Hart , Nina Hartley , Seka , and Amber Lynn became well known in this era. Attempts were made in the 1970s to outlaw pornography in the United States by prosecuting porn stars for Prostitution . The courts in California were where the case was initially made, and stopped short of advancing the case to the United States Supreme Court for a final decision. It was this decision and acceptance to let stand whereby the California Court made a legal distinction in the case of People V. Freeman between someone who took part in a sexual relationship for money (prostitution) versus someone who takes on the act of merely ''portraying'' role where a sexual relationship was engaged in on-screen act as part of their acting performance. It is this specific legal distinction between pornography and prostitution in California law that has allowed California to become the porn center of the United States. At present, no other state in the United States has either implemented or accepted this legal distinction between commercial pornography performers versus prostitutes as shown in the Florida case where sex film maker Clinton Raymond McCowen, aka "Ray Guhn", was indicted on charges of "soliciting and engaging in prostitution" for his creation of pornography films which included "McCowen and his associates recruited up to 100 local men and women to participate in group sex scenes, the affidavit says."2 The distinction that California has in its legal determination in the Freeman decision is usually denied in most state's locale prostitution laws, which do NOT specifically exclude performers from such inclusion. In some cases, some states have ratified their local state laws for inclusion to prevent California's Freeman decision to be applied to actors who are paid a fee for sexual actions within their state borders. One example is the state of Texas whose prostitution law specifically states: |
