It is boring but it has it's advantages. Like health insurance and not being sleazy.

Soldier = good, porn star = bad?

Why do soldiers volunteer to get their legs blown off while killing babies for Uncle Scam?

This includes 17-year-old girls given a full-auto machine gun and sent into combat then get their heads blown off. Oh, you didn't hear that on CNN?

Over 1-million US troops are on disability from the non-stop 23-year Iraq War, with 100,000 dead US troops, plus 2-million dead Iraqi civilians. More soldiers kill themselves than are killed in combat, because they love their job. Combat troops are force-fed narcotics and stimulants to help them kill without remorse and without memories. Many return home and kill their families.

TV news story tonight was how happy a soldier was to get new legs and a free house in Chattannooga. The other 1-million disabled troops did not get a news story or new house, just their $100/month VA disability check, if they're lucky.

Health insurance is certainly a plus...if you can get it through your job immediately upon being hired and it actually covers you for anything.

Sleazy is subjective. I, personally, think there are more sleazy "mainstream" jobs than doing porn.

Right cause they are just lying they made it all up none of that stuff ever happens...porn stars are treated like princesses every day of their working life.

Of course they are lying Lisa, like you already said they are all naive idiots with low self esteem who have been abused. Those sort of women can not be trusted, clearly they are making all this stuff about abuse in porn up to get attention, thats what the sort of women you described them as are like, so why do you keep posting links to those sort of women when you have already pointed out what messed up individuals they are.

At least it's trending down.  It used to be 97%.

in truth, most of the girls i know in sex work it's love of:

money 55%
sex: 30%
personal issues/lack of self esteem: 15%

maybe 25% for 3rd

in low end stripping/escorting,  #1 is 25%, #3 is 55

I miss the old days of Howard Sterns fame sometimes..  One thing I recall is that nearly every porn star to come thru his studio for an interview, at some point in the interview, broke down & finally mentioned they were abused, or their father wasn't a big part of their life (divorce, druggie, left the family at a young age etc).  It was like clockwork.  Some were also very religious upbringings, and yes some were very poor. I still think Daddy issues were/are very predominant.  Also I think most girls in porn only last a few sets, 30 days or so.

Using the strict religious background theory is lame.
Rebellion via 'I'll show them' tactic.

Meh

Weak

Abuse I'd figure - sexual, emotional or both.
If not, exhibitionism and easy money.

Howard Stern always asked porn stars about abuse as if it were clockwork.

Can you back that up with an actual study conducted by an independent 3rd party researcher?

Where do people come up with these percentages? Do they poll each and every worker and ask them if their uncle has ever touched them in the "no-no" place? -_-

I don't know about people in general, but in Lisa's case, she usually either makes it up or pulls it off of some bible thumper web site and can't come up with any credible source.

We can see if she offers some actual evidence in this case.
