Porn Industry Using Airbnb Rentals as Film Sets

Non-porn people are very capable of making a real mess. Talk to any hotel cleaner. People get drunk, they bleed, they get sick and even die, the later being very rare in porn.

I'm well aware that sex can be messy, and I still maintain that professional pornographic shoots are far worse.

It sounds reasonable to compare the two, unless you've ever been on the set of a professional pornographic shoot.

I didn't mean sex, just that people can make a huge mess no matter what they are doing.

All those positions, all those retakes, on the couch, on the kitchen counters, in the stairwell.

Plus there tend to be additional people on set besides the actors, having takeout food, smoke breaks, etc.

People tend to have takeout in their hotel rooms, people tend to smoke (various things) in their hotel rooms, people throw TVs through their hotel room windows (and not only in movies).

Let's put it this way... its the equivalent to having a dance party in your hotel room as opposed to just having to dance with your significant other.

Sure, it is all 'dancing' but the quantity of people has a qualitative effect on behavior.

This happens, a lot. Guess what happens afterwards? The hotel generally charges you a cleaning fee. (Which includes much more than just cleaning, but the days the room wasn't in an usable state etc.)

That's exactly what the AirBnB holders ought to charge. Of course that kind of stuff are business concerns which AirBnB sellers tend not to think about because in their minds they're not running a business.

AirBnB also has an option that enables you to set up a cleaning fee to be charged if necessary.

The point is that egregious violations of the Terms of Service (not to mention general decency) deserve egregious penalties in response.

Not just a "cleaning fee."
