[kj] Porn Star Sasha Grey fan of Killing Joke

[jpwhkj at aol.com]

I don't know which industry gets the dubious honour of being the worst, but I'd say two things.



1. The people (all women) that I know who have worked in the sex industry were definitely negatively affected by it over time.  They had problems to start with, and sex-work made them worse.



2. Given how much most people's sense of self is bound up with their sexuality, selling the latter whether directly (letting someone fuck you) or indirectly (dancing naked around a pole) is likely to do bad things to your head (and possibly other parts).

Wouldn’t it be nice if anything in life was easy. Unfortunately people get exploited in all industries. Think of the kids working in sweat shops to make the cheap clothes we all buy. Why single out the sex industry as being any worse than any other?

With respect, there is a downside.  Many, many people are exploited by the sex industry - not including those who are against their will.  You can understand why people draw a line against it.



Not just those who've been involved in producing it but those who've been abused as a result of the product.

Saying the fucking least. Can a woman not be powerful in her sexuality? Clearly not.

Speaking from personal experience I think that is too much of an over generalisation.

I have a close friend who is a dancer/stripper and have had dealings w those in the adult entertainment industry. 



A female involved in any of that has usually (90 % or higher) been either molested/raped as a child or teen, abortions,  physically/,mentally abused, drug/alcohol issues, esteem issues or a nice little cocktail of all that. With all that comes apathy and disassociation which you need a hefty dose of to be in any of those industries. 



"doing what she wants to do"- well I can tell you this, if they outwardly tell you otherwise catch them at the right time and push the right buttons you will find none of them are doing what they want to do. You gotta really convince yourself  that you are to some level, but that can only go so deep. 



also "doing what she wants to do" - well a heroin addict is doing what they want to do- a child molester is doing what they want to do, etc etc.
