<p>I’m talking about calling her a horrible human being. Deciding that she’s a horrible human being because of what she’s “into” sexually (not even an action she took - just what she’s likes) has large implications. You can obviously be disgusted by whatever you’re disgusted by and there’s nothing wrong with that. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>We don’t have to know her to know what’s NOT “better for her.” I’m pretty sure I can say it would not be better for her to jump out of an airplane without a parachute, and I’ve never even met her. The porn industry is a dangerous place for her to be. I don’t know specifically what would be the** best** path for her to take in her life. I can say with a pretty high degree of accuracy that porn would be a physically and probably spiritually dangerous place for her to be.</p>
<p>Eh…I’m not good with semantics. I believe that it is fine to form an opinion on someone, but it is more important how you get to that opinion and how you act upon it.</p>
<p>I have read posts along the lines of someone saying why attend college if she was go gonna get into porn anyway?</p>
<p>I would answer that this is a symptom of our cultural mindset that college is for everybody and that everyone <em>has</em> to attend college regardless of their career plans./s. H onestly I see a sort of rebellion against this idea in the near future and stories like this one are going to help fuel it.</p>
<p>*sort of rebellion </p>
<p>Well I for one have been watching porn since I was 11 years old.</p>
<p>Anyhow, porn is safe as long as you go to the right studio, and from what I have heard her say she loves the studio and she loves her work. She is going to graduate with zero debt, and it’s not near as much work as having to work three jobs as a college student. There is nothing wrong with porn IMO.</p>
<p>Since when did something being “legal” become the standard for not judging or voicing opposition?</p>
<p>It is legal to starve (or eat) oneself to death, become an alcoholic, smoke ten packs a day, and raise one’s children deprived of everything but the minimum level of care. Does that make those things okay and off-limits to judgement?</p>
<p>“Judging” can be a way for society to reign in destructive behaviors that are not against the law. Most of us feel an innate obligation to protect one another from harm. That is what I feel about women in porn. Nothing good can come of it, (unless one values money above all), and lots and lots of harm will result from it.</p>

<p>This is what happens when lazy parents give their kids unfettered access to the internet. </p>
<p>Well Bay I’ll tell you this, I get good grades, I never get in trouble and I’m still a virgin. I’m 16 now (so 5 years later)
and I still watch porn a few times a week. Watching porn at such a young age has had no negative effects on me thus far, and I seriously doubt it ever will.</p>
<p>Maybe you will always be a virgin. Why have real sex when you can get off watching others do it?</p>
<p>
I know of almost no cultural influences that are entirely positive or entirely negative. The issues you point out would in no way invalidate the possibility that exposure may reduce teen pregnancy. I stress the may, of course. I am not and do not intend to conduct scholarly research into this issue. I’m not arguing for or against porn, I’m wondering whether the trend towards early exposure is connected to the trend towards less teenage pregnancy.</p>
<p>Now, Bay, we all know the human brain can only imagine so much! </p>
<p>I wouldn’t go so far to say because porn is easily accessible, we’ll have hordes of virgins hanging about their screens in no need for real-life contact. :)) </p>
<p>Niquii,</p>
<p>Did you see the movie “Her?” The future may be now. :)</p>
<p>It’s my humble opinion that overdosing on porn makes a person lose the ability to value, appreciate and cherish love-making, the most intimate and exquisite of human interactions. It’s sweet and beautiful and private and lovely. I hate that humankind seems to be becoming desensitized to that. </p>
<p>That moment when you’ve watch some of her videos prior to all of this media attention…</p>
<p>Also, to each their own. Nothing she does has an impact on your lives anyway. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>How do you know this? Maybe men in your age group and younger will become unable to form and commit to intimate relationships with women in ways that are fulfilling to them, or expect women to behave in ridiculously unnatural ways sexually, as a result of your addiction to or desensitization from watching porn, and my daughters or granddaughters will suffer because of it. That impacts my life in a negative way. Please try to think beyond the moment. You might come up with a good idea.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, you’re 16. A fount of wisdom. </p>
<p>Please. </p>
<p>If you’re watching porn, you’re seeing violence against women, disrespect for them, misogyny, you’re viewing women being torn and violated by multiple partners at the same time. You’re seeing the opposite of a genuine, accurate view of a loving, healthy sexual relationship. You’re watching scenes which are the equivalent of a man spitting in a woman’s face, and if you are watching porn, you know what I mean.</p>
<p>Why aren’t you objecting to the violence and total disrespect for women that you’re seeing? And don’t say you don’t see it, it’s rampant in today’s porn. Even the actors and actresses admit it.</p>
<p>I love porn and so do most Americans which is why it’s a 14 billion dollar a year industry. She is an adult and doing what she needs to do to pay for college. Even if she just does it for the enjoyment and wants to do it the rest of her life that’s her business. I bet 99% of people that commented on this thread have watched porn at least once in their life and enjoyed it. Sex is a natural thing that this country and most religions unfortunately perceive as evil. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If it were only about “sex,” we might agree. As it stands, it’s really so little about sex and so much more about power, violence and misogyny. If it’s so “natural,” why do so many porn actors and actresses need to be sedated with drugs in order to film their scenes? Why do so many of them end up literally physically torn and ripped apart, diseased, and depressed, and turning to dangerous chemicals in order to cope with this “natural thing”?</p>
<p>Porn is not only about sex, it is about exploitation, violence, power and abuse.Also, there is a lot of drug use in this industry. I watched a very interesting Frontline documentary from the 80’s called “Death of a Porn Queen”, it is available on Youtube. </p>
<p>If you watch this documentary, you will understand how dark this industry and this lifestyle is. The guys who recruit women for porn in this documentary are some of the sleaziest scumbags out there. It is a lifestyle for some very lost and misguided souls, no doubt. Incredibly sad story!</p>
