Same reason "Ferris Bueller's Day off," "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and "Dazed and Confused" aren't: because the lead characters are teens.

I'm just going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing it's because Risky Business is about teenagers, not people in their 20s. Well, maybe the prostitute was in her 20s.
