First of all i like to comment how pretty she "was".
has anybody read the book she wrote. as much as i admire her beauty, i just thought she was full of BS. after her scandal broke out, i guess she was trying to save her self by saying that she was exploited by the industry and she goes as far as saying that she was drugged.
why does she have to play the victim here, after all she was the one that fake her own age to get into porn.
anyone who has seen her movies should able to tell if she was "drugged".
Thread turned ugly and this has been discussed many times so I'm going to shut it down.

The real question is "When will porn fans stop trying to "blame" Traci Lords?" As if all the adults she encountered were only the most innocent of novices. And there's a difference between "being drugged" and "having a severe coke habit you'd do anything to feed" which is sadly more commonplace than you know in and out of porn.
Everyone is not Nina Hartley. For some, a life in porn is miserable experience which is the result of an unfortunate life. Stop trying to make these people into villains because this interferes with your ability to jerk off to them. Just go get some Nina Hartley and whack away with impunity.

We all make choices in life. Some work out well, others don't. Some one decides to have sex for money in front of a camera makes a life changing decision. She made her choice, she's got to live with it. Revisionist history is always BS.

pornography wasn't sex but fantasies of an impossibly hospitable world

Although to be fair, she was a 15-year-old runaway with a drug habit when she 'made her decision.'

And now she will never be President, Supreme Court Justice, or Senator let that be a lesson to all you little girls out there.
Maybe a congresswomen for Democrats, but thats it, she will never go any higher.

Ummm, Shagdog,
She'd more likely be a candidate for Republicans, running on a "oh, porn is the scourge of all evil." Don't be a jerk.
I think the truth was said earlier, she was 15 and coked up and that led her into porn. I can enjoy porn but at the same time realize that the paths people take into it are varied and, like the process of making sausage, often not that pretty when seen.

This is very old story. Fundamentalist Evangelist have used this same story for centuries to past the collection plate. It goes all the way back to when Jesus save the prostitute. And from then on every Fundamentalist Evangelist saves a prostitute and passed the collection plate.
Shelly Lubben is doing the same thing right now.
The story is always the same.
I was tricked, forced, drugged into a life of sin and debauchery by an evil man. (Crying now) I really hated it. (sobbing) She tells tantalizing tales of her sexual exploits all the while saying how she hated it.
Society demands these falling angels throw themselves at our feet say they didn't enjoy ridin cock or suckin dicks. Then we say we forgive them and use their story to save other little girls.
TV talk show host took out the religious aspect and brought this to main stream TV. Million tuned in everyday to hear the tantalizing tales of sin and debauchery. Crying and sobbing they show humiliation and remorse ask to be forgiven. End with I just want to save one little girl from doing what I did.
Linda Lovelace done this and Shelly Lubben is doing this right now. Will you give me money to save just one little girl from the evils of porn and prostitution.
Traci Lords would have never got her book on the talk shows. Saying she loved porn.
Traci Lords continues to make money off her porn career by using her famous porn name.
People watch her flicks to see what she looks like today.
I will say this I watched her when It was thought she was legal. SHE WAS GREAT.

I haven't read her book. But I have seen some of her movies, when they were still widely available for porn fans to view. She often looked like she was having fun in those movies. And that was one of the reasons why she was so popular.
Perhaps the trauma of being discovered and scolded by many adults changed her perception of what happened and the role she played in it.
It's hard for anyone to continue believing that everything was okay, when crowds of people around her insist that it was wrong and bad. Individuals tend to conform and change their views when everyone around them unanimously insists that they were wrong.
You have to appreciate the psychological pressures from everyone around her Tracy Lords had to deal with, when her true age was discovered, in order to understand her book.

I wonder how you came to this conclusion? When it is widely believed she is the one who exposed herself as being a minor. And she formed her on porn company made "Traci I love you" leaving her as the only owner of a legal Tracie Lords porn movie.
After pocketing the money from her movie. She was so psychologically traumatized she sold the rights to it for 100,000 dollars guaranteeing she would be seen sucking dick for decades.
lol She was tired of running from her porn career. lol When did she ever run from it. She changed her name legally to Tracie Lords.
Her entire mainstream career was built on Tracie Lords underage porn star.
Don't cry Tracie she's a smart girl and don't play poker with her.

It makes no difference how she was discovered. Because she had no control over how everyone around her reacted when they found out her true age. And the psychological pressures came on, whether she wanted them or not.
Psychological pressures like that can confuse people a lot. And that's probably what happened with Tracy Lords. Making porn was the only thing she knew how to do for a living. And it's not surprising that she chose to make some more porn, instead of going to work for MacDonalds for the minimum wage. But this doesn't mean that all the disapproval and scolding she got from adults around her had no effect on her. It did have a big effect on her. And you can see that effect written all over her book.

The most obvious answer is also the least popular. She did porn so she could gain attention and money. She's now blaming porn so she can, once again, gain attention and money. No difference really...except this time the fucking is psychological rather than physical.

Pardon me Dan but I thought you posted you had not read her book.
How do you 1 know what she said and 2 How do you believe what you think she said she said.
One of her co-workers from that time, Christy Canyon, has gone so far as to say about Lords' autobiography: "I think her book could have been fabulous except that she was lying throughout the whole thing.
Industry insiders, like Ron Jeremy, Ginger Lynn and Tom Byron, say they never saw her use drugs and that she was fully aware of her actions even if, as a minor, she could not legally consent.
I saw her movies she was not drugged or incoherent and was in full control.
Traci from an early age was rebellious and has alway done what Traci want to do.
And has used her beauty and sexual appeal to manipulate and get her way.
This book was written to benefit Traci.
You are correct

Everyone needs to make money for a living. But to fully understand Tracy Lord's present feelings and views you need to take into account everything she had to deal with in her past, including the huge disapproval she got from the porn industry, from her former porn co-workers, and from many ordinary people around her.
