No judge would accept that as a defense unless they had release forms, liability insurance, and everything else that goes with a professional production.

Indy film recorded on an iPhone. If Scorsese can film part of a big budget movie, then you can produce your own porn film and recruit an "actress" or "actor" and pay them above board and have them sign a contract to indicate their intent to perform in such a film. 

If you want to cover your ass you write up an outline of a plot of "hiring" a "prostitute" and going to a "seedy motel" to perform a number of "sex acts" which are merely simulated for the filming process. Distribution would either be private or you could argue an intent to upload said film after reasonable editing to a porn site. You could even pickup some go pros and lighting equipment to further establish intent with different camera angles. 

Now then filming without a proper license and insurance in an area may result in larger fines, but it's not a sex crime, it's just a civil fine. Films do receive first amendment protection as freedom of expression. If you want to really insure its protected, have one person where a sign saying the government and the other person wear a sign saying the people and now it's political allegory.


All of this however requires preparing materials, contracts, etc ahead of time before attempting to cast your Co performer. You probably would also want to consult an attorney to help with the paperwork, and to present evidence to a judge after the fact. Again this goes to establish intent.

Eventually you realize with money and a lawyer you can get away with a lot of crimes via legal loopholes.
