Interesting thoughts. Obviously, they're both big grey areas with a lot of overlap, but perhaps the distinction is that in porn, BOTH people are getting paid to participate, rather than one paying the other. I assume that's the legal distinction, anyway.
I don't know if that makes it better or worse, but it is one way to think of it.
And of course, you've probably got a handful of porn stars who are exhibitionists and might do it without getting paid, and plenty more people who see nothing romantic in a particular guy, and only sleep with him for his money, but it's called golddigging, not prostitution.
As for the auction at hand... hmm. Seems crass and tasteless (and I certainly can't picture anybody paying that kind of money for something so pointless and abstract, especially when it could be easily had for FAR less with a little effort), not to mention illegal in most locations, but who knows.
