Theres a lot of things wrong with porn. The girls are often just out of highschool and while 18 may be a legal age to perform these acts I'm of the opinion that these kids are being exploited. Some of the things they do they could not possibly enjoy and some are downright injurious to their physical and mental health.
How do you know that? This sounds like nothing more than your opinion. You do know that models can refuse, and often do refuse, to do scenes no matter the age?
Girls in this business often want to leave and do other kinds of work but since their activities are on video this can be used against them later in life. How would you like to be a secretary and someone find out what you did for your first job?
Hey, I make porn as a side business, use my real name and hold down a "9 to 5" non-porn job. Some people here know I do it, and it's no big deal. I know quite a few women who do porn and hold down a "9 to 5" non-porn job. Some of them are young, some of them are professionals, etc.
There might be one or two employers who have problems with someone doing porn on their off work hours, but that is something that has been fought in the courts.
How would you like to have children and they one day find out how Mommy used to make a living? I feel that these kids will one day regret what they did and their mistake will be on video for all the world to see.
Who says that doing this is a mistake? Who says that all people feel regret? It's a choice that the people involved makes.
People who don't like you and plain busybodies often research your background. Why give them ammunition? There is a video on youtube that shows just how many former porn stars are dead. Suicide, drug over doses and aids. The porn industry is hard even on the men.
I'm sorry, but you're using youtube as evidence? You do realize that one could get a ton of evidence that ID is real by youtube as well.
And I'm afraid you won't find any real porn on youtube, either. Hell, with a little creative editing I could make a vid showing that Chelsea Clinton did porn.
I'm not a prude. When porn first became legal I was the first to go to the cinema and watch it. I'm getting old though and looking at kids young enough to be my grandchildren engaged in the industry is alarming to me. We didn't have aids in my day and drugs weren't as strong as they are now. People seemed more decent. I feel that the actors particularly the barely legal girls are being exploited.
I'm sorry, again, but your arguement is "think of the children"?
It seems to me you're also saying something to the effect of "Well, it was alright in MY day when I watched it...."
No insult meant, just a very one-sided view in my humble opinion. I'm fourty-six years old and I've filmed models who are twenty years younger than me, and even though they may look young, I know they do because of my age relative to theirs. At any rate, it's their choice, it's legal and there's really nothing wrong with it.
