However I'm not conflicted whatsoever because I don't really care if she's back and I certainly won't subscribe to her OF.

If ever she shot mainstream porn again I might watch a scene out of curiosity but that's it.

Let's be honest, despite trying to play it up, her departure from porn hardly caused a blip in the porn stratosphere and it's not like she she was a top draw pornstar who quit at the height of any popularity.

I never feel conflicted about pornstars because once they leave the business I never pine for them and if I feel "nostalgia" I just watch an old scene. If they do come back it's usually a lacklustre affair and I have no interest in that. Plenty of new starlets coming into the business to focus on.

To me some things are better left in a time capsule.

But most weren't following Allie Sin's career, didn't know she had left and immediately moved on to new favourite models.

I admit when I heard her post adult adventures had included children, stability, and a respectable career, I thought it was cool though things had turned out Ok.

But I didn't really think in the interim period that "porn" , or general adult entertainment work had done this to Allie Sin, she made 60-80 vids so got well compensated and could have quit at any point.

As time goes on, people who die around the edges of addiction associated with rock star lifestyle or incredibly depressing suicides are far more difficult to take.

I can separate the work from the reality as the business is all about selling a fantasy but from Shauna Grant, Kristi Lynn, Savannah, Megan Leigh, August Ames it's so inherently dispiriting to think of how these often vivacious sirens came to the end of their time on the planet and the desperate state of mind they must have been in at that point.

Tied to this is how someone like Jenteal, so visible in documentaries and around on social media just prior to her untimely death, was so alive in pictures and yet we find her just not here anymore.

Also the myriad appearances of Ron Jeremy on pretty much every era dating from 1979 to the gonzo ish early 2000s I find really unfortunate given what we now know.

Whether it's being reminded of decay, mortality, his Alzheimers', before you even get to his sexual assault allegations, whenever he makes his appearances they're distinctly (more) unwelcome and serve to cast a major pall over proceedings for me when he turns up with grim regularity.

I simply "don't care" in the sense that it doesn't affect if I watch her old scenes and it has no impact on if I'm interested about her comeback (I am not).

And this holds the same for every pornstar.

like that thread about Leah Gotti. the teen sensation of 2016, another confused girl who did a gangbang straight out of high school.

Yes it was hot scene, but it led to an abusive relationship, violence and heartbreak for her.

In recent months, I have been growing infatuated with Liz Jordan. but I recently stumbled across some information about her on social media....

Nothing negative, nothing controversial. but let's just say it really emphasized to me how young she is. To the point where I am uncomfortable

makes me think: What am I doing watching this stuff

--------

Yeah, big surprise, the porn industry exploits young women, what a revelation, big deal

18 years old is a legal adult, that's the letter of the law.

But frankly.... these girls are kids to me. and they're doing things that will stay with their identities forever

What if it was someone in my life. How would I feel about them getting into the industry. I would be horrified, knowing what I know

so isn't it hypocritical of me to be a porn fan? How can I be a consumer in good conscience

Maybe I can't. maybe I shouldn't be on here

Part of what makes OF revolutionary...we could technically stick to only supporting creators directly and forgo the big companies that rely on the industry's worst excesses.

So, I'd say if you're interested in somebody and wish to join their OF or independent sites, don't let struggles they've gone through in life stop you. Don't use these against them. In fact, supporting them in producing their own content in their way can be benefit them and make them less likely to have to go back to exploitative conditions. If somebody grew up in the foster system as has been mentioned on here, that's not their fault. Why should that be used against them to interfere with their livelihood. Why not just let sex workers be fully human. In life, many people experience struggles and adverse experiences and we're no exception. We don't need to be pathologized.
