Do you think it's ok to watch porn?

Question

If so, then read this, from a porn actresse's stand point.

The Truth Behind the Fantasy of Porn
Sex-packed porn films featuring freshly-dyed blondes whose evocative eyes say "I want you"
are quite possibly one of the greatest deceptions of all time. Trust me, I know. I did it all the time
and I did it for the lust of power and the love of money. I never liked sex. I never wanted sex and
in fact I was more apt to spend time with Jack Daniels than some of the studs I was paid to "fake
it" with. That's right none of us freshly-dyed blondes like doing porn. In fact, we hate it. We hate
being touched by strangers who care nothing about us. We hate being degraded with their foul
smells and sweaty bodies. Some women hate it so much you can hear them vomiting in the
bathroom between scenes. Others can be found outside smoking an endless chain of Marlboro
lights…

But the porn industry wants YOU to think we porn actresses love sex. They want you to think
we enjoy being degraded by all kinds of repulsive acts. The truth, porn actresses have showed up
on the set not knowing about certain requirements and were told by porn producers to do it or
leave without being paid. Work or never work again. Yes, we made the choice. Some of us
needed the money. But we were manipulated and coerced and even threatened. Some of us
caught HIV from that coercion. I personally caught Herpes, a non-curable sexually transmitted
disease. Another porn actress went home after a long night of numbing her pain and put a pistol
to her head and pulled the trigger. Now she's dead.

It's safe to say most women who turn to porn acting as a money-making enterprise, probably
didn't grow up in healthy childhoods either. Indeed, many actresses admit they've experienced
sexual abuse, physical abuse, verbal abuse and neglect by parents. Some were raped by
relatives and molested by neighbors. When we were little girls we wanted to play with dollies and
be mommies, not have big scary men get on top of us. So we were taught at a young age that
sex made us valuable. The same horrible violations we experienced then, we relive through as
we perform our tricks for you in front of the camera. And we hate every minute of it. We're
traumatized little girls living on anti-depressants, drugs and alcohol acting out our pain in front of
YOU who continue to abuse us.

As we continue to traumatize ourselves by making more adult films, we use more and more
drugs and alcohol. We live in constant fear of catching AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases.
Every time there's an HIV scare we race to the nearest clinic for an emergency checkup.
Pornographers insist giving viewers the fantasy sex they demand all the while sacrificing the very
ones who make it happen. In other words, no condoms allowed. Herpes, gonorrhea, syphilis,
chlamydia, and other diseases are the normal anxieties we walk around with daily. We get tested
monthly but we know testing isn't prevention. Besides worrying about catching diseases from
porn sex, there are other harmful activities we engage in that are also very dangerous. Some of
us have had physical tearing and damage to internal body parts.

When porn actresses call it a day and head home we attempt to have normal healthy
relationships but some of our boyfriends get jealous and physically abuse us. So instead we
marry our porn directors while others of us prefer lesbian relationships. It's a real memory making
moment when our daughter accidentally walks out and sees mommy kissing another girl. My
daughter will vouch for that one.

On our days off we walk around like zombies with a beer in one hand and a shot of whiskey in
the other. We aren't up to cleaning so we live in filth most of the time or we hire a sweet foreign
lady to come in and clean up our mess. Porn Actresses aren't the best cooks either. Ordering
food in is normal for us and most of the time we throw up after we eat because we're bulimic.
For porn actresses who have children, we are the world's WORST mothers. We yell and
scream and hit our kids for no reason. Most of the time we are intoxicated or high and our four
year olds are the ones picking us up off the floor. When clients come over for sex, we lock our
children in their rooms and tell them to be quiet. I use to give my daughter a beeper and tell her to
wait at the park until I was finished.

The truth is there IS NO fantasy in porn. It's all a lie. A closer look into the scenes of a porn
star's life will show you a movie porn doesn't want you to see. The real truth is we porn actresses
want to end the shame and trauma of our lives but we can't do it alone. We need you men to fight
for our freedom and give us back our honor. We need you to hold us in your strong arms while we
sob tears over our deep wounds and begin to heal. We want you throw out our movies and help
piece together the shattered fragments of our lives. We need you to pray for us the next fifteen
years so God will hear and repair our ruined lives.
So don't believe the lie anymore. Porn is nothing more than fake sex and lies on videotape.
Trust me, I know.

Dedicated to all the porn actresses who caught HIV, died from drug overdose and committed
suicide.

That was from a former porn star. Next time you want to look at porn. Think about it from that standpoint.

A FING MEN!!!!!!!! About fing time someone startes telling the truth, I'm tired of doing it myself. SO MANY times on here I have to explain to some poor lady, daughter, mother, that the fact that her male looks at porn demistrates a lack of emotional maturity that, that facts are he doesn't love her, not in a healthy mature way, how could he? He can't see the lady on the screen for who she truly is, how can he see the lady next to him for the same thing? That the act of lust is nothing more then a denial of feelings, and stunts the ability for the heart to grow. I remember being 12 years old and enjoying a nice porn. 1970's XXX stuff and how it influenced me to a point. Which that point was what you've pretty much told about right here, THERE PEOPLE, ITS A FANTASY... there mothers, daughters, wives, and girlfriends.. and me lusting after them became impossiable. I mean I could look, but as I would look more the reality would set in. That love making was better then that. That sex isn't even like that. You can't get a good shot. That I've had a carrot thrown in front of my face for something that reality would never give me, namly emotionaless sex!!! I hate it, because the porn industry feeds off the ignorance that sex can be causual. And its this ideal thats caused so much of the melestions, and espacially rapes in our society. That big money is having its way raping are true paths, for one thats selvish, and false. Keep preaching it sister, let the world know from the inside-out that its really ripping society apart. But unfornately the porn industry is a symtom of a bigger problem that needs to be solved. Namly the ripping apart of the american family and the destruction of our own hertige. All we know is that were Americans.... now whats that suppose to mean? I watch tv I hate, get a wife thats basically a stranger because I relate better with the fantasy girls in the porns, get a job I hate, for a govnerment I don't trust, and all the time distrating myself from my own purpose in life? Namly loving my fellow man, or just giving a flying f? Keep talking it sister the best read I had today!
