Here are some legal definitions regarding money and sex equating to prostitution... quote:
Almost all states have laws making it illegal to engage in, promote, or profit from prostitution. The term "prostitution" generally means the commission by a person of any natural or unnatural sexual act, deviate sexual intercourse, or sexual contact for monetary consideration or other thing of value.... ...The following is an example of a New Mexico statute defining prostitution: "Prostitution consists of knowingly engaging in or offering to engage in a sexual act for hire. As used in this section "sexual act" means sexual intercourse, cunnilingus, fellatio, masturbation of another, anal intercourse or the causing of penetration to any extent and with any object of the genital or anal opening of another, whether or not there is any emission. Whoever commits prostitution is guilty of a petty misdemeanor, unless such crime is a second or subsequent conviction, in which case such person is guilty of a misdemeanor." http://www.uslegalforms.com/legaldefinitions/prostitution/ quote:
...The following is an example of an Arizona law defining a brothel: "House of prostitution" means any building, structure or place used for the purpose of prostitution or lewdness or where acts of prostitution occur." www.uslegalforms.com/legaldefinitions/brothel Pennsylvania: http://members.aol.com/StatutesP8/18PA5902.html And elsewhere: quote:
Prostitution laws make it a crime in most states to offer, agree to, or engage in a sexual act for compensation. Depending upon applicable state law, the stages of a typical prostitution "transaction" can involve charges against the provider of services (for "prostitution"), the customer paying for the services (for "solicitation of prostitution"), and any middleman (for "pandering" or "pimping"). http://criminal.findlaw.com/crimes/a-z/prostitution.html And here are some clubs and their policies... Dallas: quote:
CLUB/DUNGEON RULES. 1.Use of alcoholic beverages or drugs will not be tolerated ... I.e. NO penetration or Masturbation. This means no fingers, toys, tongue or penis ... www.sanctuarylifestyle.com/clubrules.htm From the Iron Rose site: quote:
Most SM clubs and private parties have rules regarding what is and what is not allowed. These can be as simple as "No penetration" to a list which goes on for ever. Make yourself aware of the rules before you start to play. If your not sure, ask the DM or host. http://www.iron-rose.com/IR/docs/etiq.htm From TES: quote:
No penetration, oral sex or exchanging of body fluids is ever allowed at TES meetings or functions. No solicitation for sexual services is allowed at TES meetings. http://www.tes.org/publications/past_weekly/thisweek031802.html And you've already been given examples of cases where dungeons/parties were raided for a variety of reasons. I really don't understand your problem with people taking preacutions against winding up in court...if you have a crusade against prostitution laws (not a bad thing to be against in any case), why do you expect others to take the chance for your beliefs?
