deep conversation

The most important point of every relationship comes when two people connect on a deeper level, when they reach a point in a conversation where they learn something that they could never learn on their own.

Sue and I reached that point yesterday.

Susan asked me, "Prostitution is illegal, right?" "Sure," I answered, "in Nevada". I was wrong - apparently, it is also legal in Rhode Island, who knew.

Susan then asked, "But porn is legal, right?" "Sure!" I answered. That much I knew.

Susan than made a logical leap: "Well, why is making porn legal while prostitution isn't?" Hmm, I thought. My significant other had a point there. Why does placing the camera in the room change the legality of the situation? Sure, both the actor and the actress are getting paid, but it's still sex for hire. We pondered about that for quite a while.

Soon, my enterprising mind started putting the pieces together - we really have something here. Making porn is legal, so there is nothing stopping a person from owning a corporate entity that specializes in this fine art. Likewise, it is certainly up to the company to choose who gets to star in its productions. Furthermore, there is no law that could prohibit a potential actor from investing in the said company - employees invest in their companies all the time. If it so happens that part of that investment is used to hire a co-star, well, that's just business!

I'll see you guys later, I'm off to find a camcorder and some "movie stars"...
