Anyway, the pornographic filming industry (which is the actual subject of discussion here) is a little bit of a different beast from the ordinary sex industry.
I'd imagine poverty plays less of an influence in the porn industry than it does in the sex industry.
By definition , pornography is the " writings of prostitutes " .

If it didn't involve depictions of prostitution , then I would regard it as being more so aptly considered to be erotica .
The question remains however , what is the distinction between the two ? I feel that these two articles lay out well what should be the criteria in discerning erotic art from pornographic smut .

But I also understand that in some more prudish cultures , such as the U.S. , in contrast to that of such other countries as Germany , with its free body culture , for example , even nude paintings , and sculptures could be considered indecent , due to the nudity taboo .
