Too many alleged "fans" ...
Too man alleged "fans" say way too much shit they know nothing about, let alone make up things, about the industry, the women, etc...
Case-in-point ...
I did not have a fucked up childhood. :0) I even graduated college before I jumped into the porn industry.
I am so tired of that red herring that people push about the porn industry being a "bunch of outcasts."
Porn -- as I have stress over and over -- is about what we all put in it -- companies, consumers, starlets, viewers.
If we look at it as erotica, and the people who respect women are into it, then we see the results of that.
But if we try to throw it over the wall, act if it isn't there and chastize anyone who is associated with it, we are the ones that make it outcast.
Hell, Lisa is married (last time I checked), and other women are as well, some not to male pornstars either.
There are countless ladies who make the industry great, and we need to ensure that we -- as consumers -- keep it that way.
I personally tire of the "oh, porn is bad, we shouldn't do porn, I can't resist porn, but it's bad" non-sense.
We have men on this board that have that self-issue/non-sense with themselves, but "make themselves feel better" by going after other people on it.
Here's the reality: Enjoy porn, respect the women, it all works out.
Porn itself isn't disrespect, it's how you treat the women in the industry that makes it either disrespectful, or not, to women.
Common sense.
Of course drugs are around. Drugs are everywhere. They are a part of a lot of people lives.
Drugs are always around money and/or power.
It hardly is specific to the porn industry or anything else for that matter.
As for the other stereo type of us having STDs well we are all DNA PCR tested. That's better than the girl you just met at the bar. :0) :wave2:
Preach it!
For those us not in porn, same goes for states/locales where prostitution is legal.
If I want to pay for sex, I'm going to Nevada, because it has reduced STD risk than any allegedly "safe women" my friends tell me about in other states I live/work in.
BTW Lisa, you're a total sweetheart and most everyone knows why (even if some of us only get to hear why second hand).
