| Zingerbrook Member  580 Posts 3/17 |  Posted - Oct 29 2017 : 5:59PMI wonder whether there are some aspects of the adult entertainment industry that can serve as a **positive** model for professional conduct? As in, here are problems faced in the mainstream entertainment industry, and guess what, the porn industry has a successful approach. I know that adult entertainment is kind of a 'wild west', but some aspects of the industry are actually quite developed and run super, super well. Will add that I have experience in the entertainment industry, including some experience in adult where I was really taken aback by how awesome and professional and well-run an organization could be (I didn't get lucky, I specifically looked for that). I have also spent many years in non-entertainment businesses where sometimes things are good or sometimes they suck ass. Have personally fired people for 'sexual harassment' at work. But I also know that sexual expression is not bad, and promoting sexual expression any way I can is important to me. (I'm a guy, for whatever it's worth) EDIT: In other words: I am looking at those companies in adult entertainment that **are** very well run (because they do exist)--and could serve as models for other companies in other industries.

| shalalin Senior Member 1733 Posts 11/07 | Posted - Oct 29 2017 : 8:03PM I'm not sure I agree with the implied argument that adult entertainment companies have a better handle on "sexual behaviour" standards and practices just because sex is front and center in their industry. [Link] |

| pat362 Senior Member 10078 Posts 3/10 | Posted - Oct 29 2017 : 9:18PM This shit isn't new. Fucking Roman Polanski drugged and sodomized a 13 years old girl in 1977(that's 40 years ago) and he got away with it. Heck he kept on making movies in Europe. Has anyone one heard of Woody Allen? Other than the fact that his own daughter accused him of sexual assault. He also married his adopted daughter. A daughter that was barely 18 at the time and he was in his 50's. It hasn't stopped him from filming movies and being praised for his talent. Edited by - pat362 on 10/29/2017 9:18:59 PM [Link] |

She is the adopted daughter of André Previn and Mia Farrow. Have you read Mia's memoir? I own it. The legal documents in the Appendix are quite interesting, and make it explicitly clear that Woody Allen was not Soon-Yi's father in any sense of the word, and that he in fact ignored her "for ten years" (page 329).Soon-Yi was at least 19 at the start of her relationship with Woody, and because there is confusion about her birthday she may have been as old as 21. Btw, what was the age gap between her mother and Frank Sinatra? Mia called him "the great love of her life." Like mother like daughter.

| Simple Simon Senior Member 12302 Posts 2/15 | Posted - Oct 30 2017 : 12:03AM I was stunned by this. But I got the impression that it was so common in the industry, that no one even blinked at it. P.S. Sorry to the OP for not following your "No, no, NO, NO....!! ... I don't want the thread to get derailed in the direction of what you posted" edict. [Link] |

| shalalin Senior Member 1733 Posts 11/07 | Posted - Oct 30 2017 : 1:13AM In any case, why do you believe that whatever rules the porn industry has set up will have much use in mainstream? To be flippant, in adult a special line needs to be drawn between sex-for-work and sex-for-harassment. The former has no real equivalent in other industries, so I don't see how this particular dividing line can be useful to non-porn companies. Beyond that, surely we're all agreed that the standards for what constitutes sexual harassment aren't dependent on the particular job people are involved in? Unless you're insinuating that the "Hollywood system" is so utterly broken that they can't figure out those standards on their own, I'm not sure what exactly you're wanting them to look to adult for.
