Better without does not mean wrong with.

I don't think anyone is saying that sex with prostitutes is preferable!

Maybe defining what YOU mean by "conservative and religious" would help.

As a "conservative and a religious man", I find striking inconsistencies with your statement.

Maybe it's just a product of 21st-century secularism?

OK, I see.......you are "somewhat outside of mainstream" religion......I don't know if that qualifies you as being "religious"

What does a Rabbi say about porn and hookers?

If by "conservative" you mean "Minimal government involvement, lower taxes"......libertarians espouse these values also....."conservative" means alot more than what you have described.

I think you are still in search of proper labels for yourself.

Patton: The way I see religion is like the way that Paul Tillich describes it; he says that religion is a persons ultimate concern. The ultimate concern could very well be the religious principles they live under, like following the bible or whatever. Just write a list of the top 10 important things to you. The #1 should be your religion. A lot of people choose their family, their health, their faith and their happiness as important to them. You can see why these things could be seen as religions, as a lot of people mold their lifestyles around their personal interests. I see religious people all the time. My father for example is religious in his nature to his protection of his family. He works hard and provides for us. He doesnt go to an organized church, but then, a church is really where someone comes to pray and be holy. Its not holy until the people go there to make holy (or at least thats how muslims think). I suppose his church could be our home.

Philosophical, anyone?

Is pornography not most of the time just prostitution with the event being filmed and both parties being payed?  Maybe some people like the idea of other people watching and do it for free, seems kind of strange thought. I guess that if you believe that selling ones body is a sin both are just as bad, watch porn is lust I think as well and all sins seem to be equal in the bible, as it dams you to hell if you dont repent.

You would be amazed with the truth. Many of female porn models realy enjoy being filmed or the ambiance of the movie production team. Of course most of them do it for the money and none do it for free (I think) but there are many who do it mainly for fun.
That's why you have so many low quality "amateur" movies. But in general, i would say yes, all the porn  actress are whore. It doesn't change if they like it or not since they are paid.

I agree with that. But bear in mind that pornography also cost money (albeit much less).
As for watching porn with my whife, we tried it a few times but it became clear very fast that it was pointless. Not that we didn't like it (we choose stuffs that we both wanted and agree to watch), but it was completely superflous, more like we were losing our time.

Now the question is for someone who has no mate (and nobody to cheat to), what is worse: Porn or Prostitution (use of)?

In that case, nothing is immoral.

And I am not talking about religious "immoral" but social accepted norm "immoral"

Not to forget that the Bible is the most read pornographic material, where all the incests, rapes, extra-marital affairs are described with such detail, I would say the perverts who wrote that book really enjoyed this kind of stuff.
