Legal Situation:
|
Prostitution Status: Prostitution is illegal (a misdemeanor) except in certain counties of Nevada. Visiting a prostitute is illegal also. A description of the typical wording of prostitution laws is available. Some jurisdictions will take your car if you used it to attempt to hire a prostitute; others will publish your name in local newspapers. The police is allowed to and actually does undertake sting operations. Police stings include street walkers and much less frequently escort services and massage parlours. It took a major AP story for the cops to find this site. Premium intelligence for your tax money!
Hard core porn is available in adult bookstores, but only in tame form: fist fucking, sada-maso, and toilet sex cannot be bought in most areas.
Child pornography laws on the federal level are extremely bigot; a photograph of a nude person under the age of 18 qualifies as child pornography and can get you into major trouble. Actually, neither has the person on the photo to be under 18 nor nude for it to qualify as child porn.
Age of consent and sodomy laws: These vary by state. There is an unenforced law on the federal level which makes it illegal to cross state lines or international borders with the intent to have sex with a person under 16.
Organizations working for the decriminalization of prostitution in the US include COYOTE and the U.S. Prostitutes Collective in San Francisco, CAL-PEP in Oakland, COYOTE Seattle, PONY and the National Task Force on Prostitution in New York City, and the Prostitutes' Education Network PENet. For contact information, consult the alt.sex.prostitution FAQ. There's also a john's organization called JACGUAR.
