Adult FYI blog I find it highly amusing when porn performers attempt to dispel rumors about the industry in press releases only to perpetuate them with Jerry Springer behavior in national publications. Like GQ, which just did a piece on performer James Deen titled “The Well Hung Boy Next Door”. It’s bikini babe Kate Upton who’s selling the issue by being on the cover, with the Deen article buried on page 102 ff. Which is to say if you hadn’t been alerted to the fact that Deen was in GQ at all, the mag certainly doesn’t go out of its way to promote it. No quibble at all with Deen who handles himself admirably with impeccable, mature comments. It’s Allie James who should be given a Curly Howard slap to the side of the head. On the set of Losing Kayden, a Robbie Dee movie for Digital Playground, the set up is that Steve Holmes is a crime boss. Deen is a nervous, edgy, gambling addict with very destructive tendencies; and James is asked by the GQ writer, Wells Tower, what her part is in all this. “I’ll be crawling around under a table sucking cock,” she replies I wonder what James’ retort would have been had Forbes been doing the asking. In any event, the statement that should have the Shelley Lubbens of the world fiddling with their rosary beads is when James volunteers the fact that, at age 9, she’d have sex with her brothers’ friends in exchange for marijuana. “And you were cool with it?” Deen asks her. “Oh, yeah!” says James. “As long as you were cool with it,” Deen says. One might sense the dripping sarcasm. A picture of James sucking Steve Holmes’ dick is later emailed to her mother. [That had to have been some household.] “Yeah, obviously she’s damaged,” Deen, displaying some rational thought, tells the GQ writer. "I’m like getting pimped out when you were 9 so your brothers could smoke weed?” Deen continues. “That’s not healthy [besides being criminal]. “She’s like Rick Santorum’s wet dream, the poster child for how people in porn are damaged. But for every person like her, there’s someone like, I’d like to say me. I had a great childhood. "My parents and I get along. I just like sex, and I like porn, and I think it’s fun. I’m always terrified that someday I’m going to come to the realization that I’ve got some deep, dark secret, some terrifying horrible experience where I’m going to be like, ‘I’m actually not normal. I’m a crazy person!’ But it just doesn’t seem to be the case.” Click to expand Click to expand Thanks fevrinnn. [Link]

Edited by - more_cowbell on 5/27/2012 6:17:17 PM Click to expand Disagee here. MOST women do NOT do nasty shit in the bedroom. If they did, it is likely that porn would not be so popular, because the fantasy would be reality for a majority of people. My wife is crazy in the bedroom, but she's told me that the majority of women she knows would faint before they did a lot of what she will do. In fact she thinks that the vast majority of women are prudes. One of the attractions of porn is that you get to see something that's not likely to happen to you in your everyday life. We used to spend a lot of time with various swing groups, and you would be surprised how many women in those groups are only interested in "feet up-feet down" sex. [Link]

Or is this a stereotype that simply isn't true? Click to expand I assume you're asking about the swing groups. For the most part the guys we ran into are (at least outwardly)terrified that their dick might mistakenly touch another guy's dick. Everybody wants their women to be BI, but the vast, vast majority of guys we came across are absolutely frightened to death of any sort of BI guy, much less a gay guy. But then again, you're not likely to run into a fully-gay man at a couples swing party. [Link]
Xenomorph Deactivated User I Heart My iPad 38 Posts 7/12	Posted - Jul 4 2012 : 5:20PM Suffering from it myself, this would seem to be apart of someone's life regardless of profession. Seems as though it's an easy target to those with an agenda. Porn isn't {imo} the trigger, people go to their comfort zones where they feel safe. Again, like in every other job. The ratio may, MAY, be highr in porn but it isn't because of the industry. [Link]

There are mentally ill people in any profession, in most cases today they are the people you would suspect the least. Being mentally ill myself (controlled with medication) I have had several instances where I have told someone (for whatever reason) and the person has said in shock that he/she didn't know. Not all mentally ill people make asses of themselves on YouTube and make Photoshop cartoons mocking who they think want to kill/rape/pillage them (I will honor a request made by Steph [one of the owners of ADT] to me a long time ago and not give the name of the person I am referring here).

It's like women are expected to have "no limits" (which usually means something fairly specific), while the same is not expected (nor encouraged I suppose) in straight men. [Link]

However, I have to wonder how many similar studies have been done for, say, flight attendants, stand up comedians, doctors, and lawyers. It seems that such studies are conducted with preconceived notions, and the results simply build upon these preconceived notions. That doesn't mean that adult film performers do not suffer from childhood abuse, depression, substance abuse, etc.; but it does mean that we ignore the fact that people in other professions deal with these same problems. In addition, I wonder why the study isolates females and does not specify sexual orientation and/or genre. Click to expand I agree completely. There are millions upon millions who have psychological disorders/diseases and substance abuse, so only comparing meaningful is comparing between professions. Even then, I"m guessing the average age of porn performer is very low compared to average age of MD/doctor. Therefore, porn performers lower age has to be a factor (i.e., how many younger 18-25 are still experimenting or using substances vs. 30-45?). Also, I would caution comparisons too. MDs/doctors have some highest rates of suicides (large positive correlation between suicide and depression), substance abuse, alcoholism, divorce rates compared to other professional cohorts. [Link]

Katvena Member Rocco & Nacho are the KINGS OF HARDCORE and yes I am a Red Blooded WOMAN 402 Posts 8/12	Posted - Sep 2 2012 : 12:55AM Some people think that Kristina Rose has got mental issues. Take a look on what people are saying about her on this thread Kristina Rose - Pornstar Superhero. [Link]
Float_my_boat All-Star Member 1311 Posts 6/09	Posted - Sep 3 2012 : 5:00AM ^ ^ Please no....that thread got mercifully locked. I've been kind of following it and it was bad. I thought some of the posters had the mental issues. Not Kristina. They sounded like once infatuated fanboys whom she either had done something they didn't like or approve of or perhaps ignored a twitter or some such and now just ranted. Kind of pathetic on their part. Kristina has always been known as having a pretty spunky attitude and that was part and parcel of her style. [Link]

I personally have to say I like my job for various reasons but I don't do it out of sexual motivations. Sexual gratification is not why I am a porn star.... Click to expand I find it a little surprising that sexual gratification isn't even a minor reason why you like your job. You make it sound as if you get no sexual gratification at all in your porn scenes. Because sexual gratification is a pleasant feeling that would be at least a minor reason for you liking your job, if it was there at all. The logical implication of what you've just said has crushed all of my sex fantasies that I've had about your scenes. This total absence of sexual gratification I find so surprising, because sexual gratification is what porn scenes are all about for porn fans. And you've certainly tried your best to make it look like you were sexually gratified in your porn scenes that I've seen. Is it really all acting and pretending and no pleasure at all for you?

Katvena Member Rocco & Nacho are the KINGS OF HARDCORE and yes I am a Red Blooded WOMAN 402 Posts 8/12	Posted - Sep 3 2012 : 1:19PM Gore Gore Girl All I can say to that is I think the MEN got the mental problems. Just look at the some of posts in threads in this forum that there are STILL men with mental problems. The men thinks if a porn star is getting paid there should do what ever the want then to do, even the porn star don't enjoy it and if the porn star say no to the fans, the fans bash her. Now that is just fucking sad. [Link]

vanessadelriolover Member I woke up today and everything is still everything! 403 Posts 1/09	Posted - Jun 9 2013 : 6:13AM I have always wondered about the connection between porn and mental illness (for talent...not director producers) especially when you throw in the factor of drug use. Immediately I think about Sledgehammer (steroids) and Carmella Bing who just got popped for smoking meth. Yet, at least 2 stars I have had the good fortune to interact with seem perfectly centered and happy with their life station of occasional work or retirement. those who have retired have seemingly gone on to productive lives with families etc. But at the same time, I see some wasting away (like drug smoking wasting away), exhibiting signs of being extremely paranoid (illuminati fantasies and doomsday "prepper" tendencies guns and all...). Like everything else I guess "it depends." Katja made some solid points above! [Link]

Click to expand i am mistaken, i thought i had read somewhere that he had both in play when the police murdered him. as a society we need to have much more understanding about how mental illness is no different than any other debilitating condition and treat it as such. up here in PDX there are sooooooo many cases of PPD killing mentally ill and often homeless men.
