Yes I'd consider myself a failure. See Chris Rock's concert where he talks about "keeping your daughter off the (stripper) pole" its pretty funny but true. BTW I'd also consider myself a failure if my daughter became a republican. :-) On a more serious note. If you read pornstar bios and interviews you'll see a pattern. Majority of women doing porn (not all of them) seem to have the following types of parental backgrounds: 1. Extremely conservative and/or religious parents. Some are really religious bordering on cult-like behavior. Typically one of the more "fringe" religions like mormons. The father is very controlling and he won't let the girl be a "normal" teen. Sometimes the girl has been home schooled because the parents don't believe in those overly liberal schools. As soon as she turns 18 years old she is out of there assuming she has not runaway before that. At this point she does a complete 180 now that she is free of her parents control and takes it to the extreme doing just about everything she was prevented from doing before. Sometimes its not religious but too much control over her. She may have even been an A student in school because her parents demanded it. 2. Raised by single or divorced mother with little or no contact from father. This covers a lot of women not just pornstars. But pornstars are typically more emotionally scarred from this. Ever watch Maury Povich show with the young girls out of control? They typically have low self-esteem and seek out male attention to feel loved. That's why a lot of pornstars end up with loser suitcase pimp boyfriends. They don't know what its like to have a nice square guy for boyfriend. 3. Irresponsible parents. Typically alcoholics or drug users. They are just bad parents. Some let their kids do anything some don't care some encourage them to do bad (e.g. drugs). Some may have abused them physically or sexually. It is a myth that every pornstar has been sexually abused but some have been. I could name some well known pornstars as examples for each case above but I don't want to start a flame war or get edited. Just read their interviews and they tell you themselves. You will see most fit into one of the categories above.
Yeah it would suck to find out she turned out to be in a porn. Somewhere along the way she got fucked up, probably most likely do to poor or absent parenting.
If my daughter told me she wanted to do porn I would definitely feel like I messed up somewhere along the way, but I should already have an idea of my failures if she didn't do well in school and didn't have any quality plans for her future. I would probably tell her to come with me to the Amazon for some Ayahuasca, or at least I would get her some mushrooms. I believe "ego death" is extremely important, and I often wonder how many people in the industry(and any industry for that matter) have had a true psychedelic experience.

So my daughter wants to do porn. Fine, but first we have to lay a few ground rules. 1) Do it right. No half-assed fucking. It's either all the way or no way. 2) If you're going to get paid to fuck, you'd better want it...bad. The fucking I mean. 3) If my daughter's going to get fucked on camera, then dammit, she'd better get fucked by some swinging cocks. 4) Lastly, make me proud sweetheart. If my daughter looks good enough to fuck on camera, then by golly, I hope my wife does too! Edited by - SaraJayFan on 4/8/2012 1:08:19 AM

if it was a result of being raped,molested or a childhood trauma. I would feel guilty for not protecting her. if it was purely economic,and she didnt want to work in a cubicle for 40K a yr and 60 hrs a week,then I would not have any problem,though I would be concern for her longtime well being. working at wal-mart is not comparable to porn apple and oranges. getting yelled by a rude customer is alot different than getting boned by rodney moore straight out of highschool. Im sure people dont need therapy after a year at walmart.
I don't understand this. Why would you do something you know would hurt your parents, be dishonest with them, but you have no negative feelings about them at all? I guess you have your reasons, but I just think it's better to be honest with your parents, because they will find out at some point.
My parents know, and much like their opinions on my private sex life, they don't really care. Here's the thing: This question takes the position that sex and porn are something shameful, and that's bullshit. It's also bullshit that a child's career choices reflect on the parent. Does a child becoming a soldier make their parent a failure if that parent is a pacifist? No, of course not. We reason that the child, once an adult, will make his or her own decisions. I actually caught more flack from family for going off to college than I did for starting a career in porn. Now, that pacifist parent I mentioned before might THINK they were a shitty parent, but were they? We can only say that they were if we define "good parent" as "control freak who determines the destiny of their children". So there's the thing: Porn performers come from all sorts of backgrounds and all walks of life, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. What's strange to me is that there would be such a negative outlook on porn from a pro-porn forum. It'd be like going to WEB MD and finding a forum of people asking "If your child goes into the chiropractic field instead of general medicine, does that mean you were a shitty parent?" Make sense? Or are we going to keep up the facade that porn and sex are somehow degrading and shameful?
^I don't think this question takes the position that sex and porn are shameful at all. Using your military analogy, I don't want my kids to join the military. I appreciate and support the US military, but it's not a good career choice in my opinion. I love football, but I still don't want my son to be a professional football player.
I dont think anyone is sugesting porn is shameful,but I still dont believe its comparable to other profession. Yes porn performers come from a wide rangeof backgrounds,but dysfunctional backgrounds seem to nbe more prelevant in the industry. Example 20% of girls in the U.S have been molested as children,but in porn that rate is much higher closer to 50%(depending on which studies you read) Now if half your workforce were molested as children,that at very least means your industry is not comparable to others. This does not mean porn or sex for money is inherently wrong,but we do not live in a perfect world and have to accept it for what it is. Im not saying molestation causes sex work but from every study Ive seen there seems to be a strong correlation,and like I said its apples and oranges having rodney moore cum on your face as a 18yr old out of highschool,is alot different than going to medical school,One is not inherently more moral then the other,but they involve different human mechanics. so there for since porn seems to attract a unique group of people. I would defiantly scrutinize my daughters decision and analyze her motivations Edited by - tbetts12 on 4/8/2012 9:57:58 PM

I don't believe you can make broad generalizations about the girls who entered the business nor criticize their upbringing when there is no conclusive evidence or study yet made that I know of that addresses this topic. A segment of our population like to belittle others who choose different paths in life when it is none of their business what any of us choose to do with our lives. Most of the girls who enter the adult business do so for a short period and move on. The only thing I can say about a lot of the girls is they seem to be fiercely independent people who are not easily swayed by public opinion. In comparison, consider spending your working life at 50 hours a week, sitting in a tiny cubicle, staring at a computer screen non stop like a large portion of our society does for 40 years and you tell me just how glamorous that is. Doing porn over a short span doesn't sound so bad after all compared to that.
Before you make your official decision on how you feel, it may help to picture Steve Holmes balls deep in her ass and and Manuel jizzing all over her face as she swallows whatever hits the inside of her mouth. Aaaand go!
my daughter is 3 and is not doing porn, this topic to me is irrelevant. so... i shall continue to fap to all those hot pornstars out there who are adults and made their adult decisions to make a vid so i could enjoy. as related to this topic, when i watch and get my balls off, or my wife's juiced out to a video... i think, look how hot and happy and willing this broad is doing what she is doing to some dude on camera. i doubt she has her parents in mind in any shape or form signing up for said scene. at the same end, if you have twitter, how many adult stars have kids who are making scenes. one day they post they just made a scene with brazzers taking it up the ass, then two days later after a flight back they talk about taking their kid to the zoo. then, they get upset if someone makes a comment about laying off the rude tweet about porn and her kid. (on a side note, that makes me think they want to parent individually, yet keep their income). but in the end, this just shows... sometimes, no matter how you parent, sometimes your kids grow up to do what they want to do. if anything, think about what your parents wanted you to do, or expected of you..and where you ended up doing. i'm sure it wasnt the same. and yet.... they either accepted it or rejected you. now if you will excuse me, i hope none of you are valerie kay's parent, cuz i'm about to jack off to something ass serious.
I remember chatting with a 33 year old female doctor and we both agreed that if we had a daughter we would rather they became a porn star than a country and western singer!!
I haven't read the whole thread, but I had the feeling that Sunny Lane's parents not only supported her decision but acted as her agent, and even accompanied her on set. (I THINK those are copies of their driver's licenses, and that this photo MIGHT have been taken on set, before a shoot.) Sunny looks like a baby in this photo. IF they went to shoots to keep an eye on things and make sure she was safe, this is certainly commendable in one regard, but it raises serious questions about boundaries. I was enough of a pervert as a young man, that I know for a fact that I could perform sexually while a group of strangers watched. But I never considered doing porn (even though the fantasy might have excited me), for two reasons. (1) It would have limited other employment opportunities. (2) Even though I felt comfortable with strangers watching, I wouldn't have wanted my friends, or especially my mom and dad, watching. If I ever had the opportunity to have a real conversation with a porn star, this would be one of my questions. I understand being comfortable having sex in front of strangers, and for those that get off on it, I understand exhibitionism. But how do they maintain boundaries between porn and the rest of their lives?

Why are you even here if all you want to do is watch for every opportunity to try and insult a performer? What's your problem anyway?

2 things; learn to read and the next time you have a thought, just let it go will you. You're just embarrassing yourself. And to save yourself further embarrassment, don't bother with a response like, "I'm not embarrassing myself, you're embarrassing yourself heh heh!" There is something inherently wrong with parents arranging/managing the sex career of their daughter. Take away the "camera aspect" and they'd be arrested for pimping, add the "camera" and they are her "agent/manager" but if you could actually read, you'd see where I corrected myself.
^ Clearly you weren't "correcting" yourself, you were making a joke. It's also clear that the joke was not in keeping with our forum etiquette. (I have to assume that you're a decent enough person that you wouldn't say that to their faces, and as such, you ought not say it here, either.)

Point taken. Not to get into a pissing match or any such thing, but I stand by my original assertion, not to prove a point but just to make an observation about the positon/job title at hand. How come some people are considered "agents" and then others such as the "agent posting as" in another thread is just a "suitcase pimp?" Clearly they all are doing the same thing.
So You mean, would I care if my daughter was getting butt-fucked and sucking dick and gulping down sperm on camera for the world to see? OF COURSE I would! Im sure i would be drinking shots of Jack every night just to cope. But...its fun watching other peoples daughters do it;)

I don't even see why this thread draws so much emotion yet it is entertaining to read the posts as people have a lot of different opinions. Consider instead this scenario related to young sex itself, that plays out in tens of thousands of cases throughout the world in everyday life... Your 15 year-old precious virgin daughter (Daddys little girl) is going to be humped by some zit faced scrawny 16 year-old boy repeatedly (No STOPPING It) and you compare that to your 18 year-old daughter entering the adult industry? More concerned about entering the adult film industry???? I think not. Fathers want to shield their young daughters from intimacy with anyone until they become of legal age. That takes priority. An 18 year-old is an adult, they may still depend on their parents for support but they ultimately have the right to choose what they do and no one can stop them.
Very good point. I had some of the nastiest sex while I was still in high school bangin on "daddys little girl" every single day! And she swallowed every single time 4 to 7 days a week for 4 years! Hmmm, I wonder who gave me my swallowing fetish???
I don't agree with this at all. I'm sure some over protective parents want to completely shield their daughters from sex, but that's not how I feel. It's not about sex as much as it's about getting paid for sex in front of a camera with a bunch of creepy men controlling the entire situation. And by the way, there's no such thing as a 15 year old precious virgin daughter. If anybody thinks their 15 year old isn't having, trying, or at least thinking about sex, then I feel sorry for them. A zit faced, scrawny, 16 year old who fucks my 15 year old daughter doesn't even begin to make me as upset as a 30+ year old with a 9+ inch cock fucking my 18 year old in the ass for millions to see. I understand the point you're trying to make, but this scenario is about porn, not sex.
The stigma of doing porn has really decreased the last 10 years. Sasha Grey has appeared in mainstream movies and a TV Show despite being a former XXX performer. If I had a daughter and she wanted to do porn, I would be okay with it as long as she was happy. She's an adult and can make her own decisions.

Should be able to get on set to watch her in action, get autographs, free DVDs!
I think it's all rather silly. Most daughtrrs end up porn stars to some extent. The only difference is they don't do it publicly. I'm far more worried about an unwanted pregnancy or them hooking up with an abusive prick than if they're having alot of sex. The funny thing is alot of guys would be jealous or proud if their son was a popular b/g porn star.
Also I'd like to add that too many parents see their children as biological trophies to show people how great they were at parenting. It's all horseshit. All that matters is if your kid enjoyed their childhood, can thrive in the face of adversity, and is happy as an adult. Edited by - more_cowbell on 5/20/2012 5:39:05 AM
