Years ago a murderer was on trial and he tried to blame it on Twinkies. It became known as the "Twinkie defense" and you can see it referenced in pop culture. The defense didn't work, I guess it was just too ludicrous for the courts at the time. I wonder if it would work now.
Musing on that made me realize something else. Prostitution is a moral crime, in other words it's a crime because some people don't like it. I don't really care what two consenting adults want to do with each other. Remember, I said consenting adults.
Here's an idea for prostitutes, you don't have your customers pay for sex. They pay you to be an actor in your performance art piece with customer participation. It could be scripted or improvisational. The alley, motel room, car, or house could just be the stage. Condoms, outfits and toys are props.
Of course this is a legal defense theory. The proper groundwork would have to be laid. Having a script or improvisational outline ready, an understanding with the client, a reputation as a performance artist, and maybe not having a reputation as a prostitute.
I don't think it would work in the real world. I have seen crazier things in the world though. Maybe there is some down on her luck actress out there considering to turn her first trick right now thinking "I have a SAG card, might as well make that a prop as well". She's already laying the groundwork for her defense. Good luck, sweet lady and stay safe.
