EDITED FOR CLARITY: With out naming anyone specific, I was recently surprised to find out that 2 of my favorite and well respected model mayhem models have done full porno work. I know alot of models have done it, but I was very surprised in this case because the 2 are so well known and respected that it just amazed me that they went into that direction. I was just curious if anyone else had a similar experience?
I took out the word "shocked", because I think too many people misunderstood what i meant. As well as i removed the term "strayed" It was a bad choice of words.
Let me also clear up something else. I have no problem with anyone who does porno. I've worked as a bouncer at a NYC strip club in the past and have more than my share of dealing with people in the porno industry.
The original point wasn't to judge anyone at all. I was more curious as to find out if anyone else had an experience where a model that is well known in the industry and respected had ever done any porno work. I wasn't trying to judge anyone or say I was offended at all. I'm not going to now or ever say anyone is wrong for doing whatever it is that a person does. That is thier choice, live and let live. Also literally nothing offends me at all.

Believe it or not they may actually enjoy it and like the work.

No, but I'm sometimes suprised that sex workers I know model on the side.
I'm guessing it's about the same thing in the end... I mean, I never thought certain 'sex positive/gender queer' friends would pose as submissive females? It's their lives, who am I to assume what it is to them?

It would be great for more women to enjoy sex, and be honest about it! Damn social constraints... And not the good kind of constraints...

It's all about earning a buck. We all prostitute ourselves to some degree in life. Think about it!

The life of porn is often a viewed as a mistake by the people who have chosen that road.
Personally I do not have issues with someone doing it beyond their physical and mental health.
But I certainly understand the point the OP is asking about.

Sure... But it was no big deal to me. I've got a couple of friends making a decent living in that industry. They love what they do...

I didn't think the OP sounded too bad... He seemed more surprised than judgemental (yeah, the strayed part, but t wasn't that bad at least). I found my old acting coach nakey on MM and it shocked me a bit too.
I also don't think it's too sexist. I know most people who have a problem with porn have a problem with both the females and the males in it.
Anyway, never had this happen to me... but I don't really know how I would come across it either. I'm not really a fan or porn or anything erotic. *shrugs*
I also wouldn't be surprised if those held in high regard here had done porn. Some may enjoy it and feel liberated, some may do it just for the money. Most have their individual reasons.

I was just curious if anyone else had a similar experience? I am continually shocked at how naive so many people on this site are regarding sexuality in general, and adult work in particular.
There is SO MUCH porn out there. Who do you think models for it? Who do you think photographs it? Do people honestly think there's a whole alternate porn universe out there of models and photographers, none of whom would dare sully MM with their presence?
A huge number of models and photogs on this site do adult work and straight out porn.
And that quarter you found under your pillow the night you put one of your teeth under there? That wasn't the tooth fairy, that was your parents.

Anyway, OP it's their decision, and as the others have pointed out it doesn't mean they're lesser people for it. If they were your favorites before, then why would something they've done which is legal and well within their limits affect your view on them? BTW, there's A LOT of models on here that do it, so be careful the next time you pick some new "favorites" or else you might end up being disappointed again....

Never surprises me.
I've too many stories to tell along those lines for it to surprise me at my age.
Why are Americans so terribly hung up on sex that they either loath it, are fixated on it, or both while pretending something else?
(Rhetorical - I know why.)

I thought all porn actors were crack whores worthy of no respect whatsoever.

I was recently surprised and shocked to find that 2 of my favorite MM photographers were lawyers on the side. How can they have any self-respect after that? And what about their families? Filthy perverts.
OP: Get over it.

It is amusing when people are disheartened that someone they knew and respected is doing porn yet fail to mention why they were surfing porn.

Not every person is that much of a judgmental ass-hat. Professional respect exists on a lot of different levels, and sometimes it's an individual's diversity that makes them praise-worthy.
