Why aren't porn stars arrested for prostitution?

I assume you ask about how it works in US though since not all countries have such laws and I must admit I don't know the law so can only speculate. By the way here in Sweden it is the one paying for sex that is doing something illegal, not the prostitute. Both advantages and dissadvantages to such a system of course.

Are you sure? Here to the left of Sweden, it's perfectly legal to both sell and buy sex. The "john" and his "date" aren't doing anything illegal when they have at it in a darkened back alley. However, pimping is a crime, and if caught the perpetrator will receive a slap on the wrist and a small fine. (If he doesn't have any money, a small slap on the wrist will do just nicely.)

"I'm all for legalising prostitution" seems a bit redundant now, as I've just stated that it's already legal. Still, it shouldn't just be legalised, but also domesticated. It should become a natural part of nature. An 18-year old lad should be able to tell his mother before leaving the house. "I'll just pop out for a prossie. Be back in a bit." I'm also a fan of Joss Whedon's form of prostitution in his cancelled series "Firefly".. Basically, all prostitutes are refined, well-educated, respected and respectable women who do not simply sell their bodies, but rather a unique experience. They are all members of a guild which offer them benefits and protection. They also choose their own clients. Every "john" (and "jane" for that matter) is admitted into a registry, and each "companion" (as they are called) choose whomever they wish to take on as a "client" from this registry.

But that's sci-fi. :)
