Hi,
Just a guess:
There is no law against being paid to be photographed/filmed/videotaped/watched while having sex. Such a law would open a can of worms -- consider all the movies (with a rating less than X) and TV shows where a couple is 'shown' having sex. The depiction, of course, varies a lot from case to case, and we all know, 'of course' that they aren't really 'doing it'. But such a law would put the burden of proof on said actors -- not a good situation.
There are few enforced/enforcable laws limiting sexual conduct amongst consenting adults. This, at least, is one of the things that the 'porn' industry (Yeah, like Hugh the Hef) actually achieved. In the nineteenth century, the government looked into your bedroom but not into your wallet. In the twentieth, with the passage of income tax, that was reversed. Wonder which way the twenty-first will go ;)
So, as long as the fiction is maintained by all concerned that the sex was consensual and done 'for the fun of it' and the payment was simply to have it photographed/filmed/videotaped/watched, then no crime is being committed.
At any rate, that's my story till something better comes down the line :)
