does that make all or any of the professions above immoral Huggins293??

and if you think a 21 year old can seriously be classed as a child I think you might need to take a raincheck.

If a career in adult films was as socially accepted as a career in mainstream acting then im sure more parents would have less objections.

Parents also want their children to be "good" at something. That is, to succeed in a career that requires mental and/or physical agility. Pornography requires neither. A parent would more quickly accept a porn director than a porn actor due to this (IMHO). That's also why toll collectors, garbagemen, janitors, etc are looked down upon. Anyone can do their jobs.

Last, a parent is always scared of their child being the victim of psychological and/or physical trauma. I honestly feel that my daughter would not be ready to deal with the taxing demands of the industry (mentally mostly) until she was past the age that most girls are filmed at.

I have not discouraged any of them from exploiting their bodies and talents.

I told my son that porn is a lousy excuse for sex, and that the money isn't that great, especially for guys, until you get a popular name - but not that he shouldn't do it. He decided to get his mechanic's certification instead - he got a promotion last month!
My little sister hopes to find cash positive things to do with her body that don't involve sex, but she has considered dancing. I told her if she made that choice I would take her to a good bar and not let anyone take advantage of her inexperience. She's just finishing up her first semester at college.
Each time my daughter mentions being a Playboy bunny I remind her that Hef's gals aren't dummies. One is an attorney! She is very focused on her swimming and plans to go to college, and hopes to get a swimming scholarship. She made the honor roll again this semester.

I don't consider porn, or other sex industry jobs, to be poor occupations for my loved ones. I will do my best to inform them and not let them choose ANY job, sex industry or otherwise, that doesn't suit them or their goals. I am always saddened when I come across someone who has made a career choice that makes them miserable. No matter whether they made it out of desperation, ignorance, or simply by mistake, I feel bad for them. There is a great deal of disinformation out there about the porn industry and the sex industry in general. It seems glamorous. It looks like quick, easy money. I certainly doesn't look dangerous - at least not in the bad dangerous way. Reality doesn't quite match. It doesn't make porn immoral (I have NO morals - that's a religious construct), but it does make it something to be examined and not entered into lightly. No more or less than any other significant career.

Janine has stated that porn is the perfect haven to act out sexual fantasies that she probably couldn't act out as much in real life.

If I entered porn it would not just be for sex, I would use as political form of expression.

Kim, you have to be one of the top interviewing subjects in porn land right up their with Tera Patrick. Thanks for your insight.

P.S. How much do you think the average porn actress makes and the average porn actor makes? Since I am contemplating entering this later on, it would be nice to know. Thanks again.

P.S. Kimi - not Kim

(Which considering what her genetic background would be, is kinda unlikely, unless she took 100 percent after her mom :) ....)

"The objectification and commodification of human sexuality beats flipping burgers or selling real estate any day. Even if it smells worse."

I just don't see how even interpreting those text in a liberalized manner can prevent one from interpreting Christian moral sexual philosophy as undeniably hostile toward celebrating soveriegn lust.

I'm not going to get into a moracle debacle but I know what feels good to me, and it's generally agreed on that sex feels good to people. And why is it we can show so much violence on TV and not more sexuality presented in a positive, open way? These questions can't be answered and people struggle in a cycle of temptation.

I think too much of the LUST and PORNOGRAPHIC stuff in the Bible that God supposedly smiled upon is glossed over (nice site: evilbible.com)... hey, really, King Solomon sure did like to fuck *wink*... and I'm in line with the "safe, sane, & consensual" philosophy. I believe good porn can make a couple's sex life more exciting, or give them ideas or at least some fun.

I think too many Christians say too much and do too little. And when it comes down to their actual acts, they are all like judgemental and present themselves poorly when it comes to things they just don't get and never will because they don't want to listen or watch. Like porn.

Every line of work has its bad apples -- there are bad cops, and there's certainly exploitation and bad things that happen in porn. There will continue to be such things. But I support the right to make informed decisions and I support the right to a healthy, more fulfilling sex life. Yes, one can get addicted to porn. But addiction to most things is BAD -- alcoholism, drug abuse.

So I like porn. Not all porn. But some porn. Hope this clarifies things, thanks for asking. :D
