On the Origin of Porn Participation - 04/24/08 10:37 AM

Conventional wisdom dictates that a large majority of pornographic actresses were the victims of sexual or physical abuse during childhood.

In general, do the actresses themselves recognize and/or acknowledge that their participation in porn was caused or enabled by such trauma? If so, how open with others do they tend to be about it?

Do they seek or receive psychotherapy and/or psychiatric treatment to address the effect on their lives of such childhood trauma?

Wow.

Childhood trauma.

Yay.

Self-medication will silence possible residual effects.

And why would anyone care about yet another superficial would-like psychological blurb anyway?

A sentence for pretty to look at closely:

"Self-medication will silence possible residual effects."

Literacy is not a necessary skill in her line of work anyway.

I have always wondered what terrible childhood trauma and other shit has happened to people to make them grow up to be psychologists.

Not for everyone.

That's like saying sports is a business. Not everyone playing is getting paid. The sport itself can be satisfying.

Think of all the victims of abuse who DO NOT pursue or engage in the sex industry, and/or obliterate their brains with chemicals.

The fact is with some people with sociopathic natures and tendencies, if you give them an excuse or opportunity to engage in behavior that is borderline criminal or fucke dup, they will do so for temporary short term gain. It's an excuse they use to bullshit THEMSELVES (because even the dumbest morons are only fooled for a little while when dealing with the likes of a Mary Carey) and quash whatever rumblings of a conscience they might have about their life choices and behavior...its total bullshit that a whore would use the fact that her Uncle stuck his finger up her twat at age 10, or made her jack him off in the lawnmower shed for 50 cents of hush money, as an excuse to shoot a scene where she allows 50 men to masturbate all over her for a monetary payment of 900 bucks. No, the whore just doesnt want to work, or is mad because she wants to be beautiful and desirable like Angelina Jolie but just plain isnt but wants to DELUDE herself and other vulnerable idiots and live a type of vicarious Angelina Jolie existence...

Some of these whores have egos totally disproportionate to their looks, so they reach back and concoct memories of abuse to tell others why they allow themselves to be objects of unhealthy attention on film via sexual acts...Substance abuse, eating disorders are all various forms of unhealthy interest in THEMSELVES and their own pleasure and selfish standing in the eyes of peers. I LAUGH at chicks who think by popping 4 xanax before a party that their relaxed countenance will make them more acceptable to various dudes they meet (yet when asked WHY they gobble the xanax they say "OH I just cant get over what happened to me as a child")....Same with chicks who WONT eat; How fucking self centered must you be if you deny yourself nourishment and nutrition and then THINK that guys will want to stick their pistoning peni in your twat or mouth MORE because you fucking starve yourself?

I wont even discuss the damage and pain these whores cause the people in their lives who actually DO give a shit about them.

This is why I am totally enamored of whores who are HONEST, non-hypocritical sluts...the ones who just flat out say "I love, LOVE the way Heroin makes me feel, and I will do anything to keep that feeling, including sucking your dick and swallowing your cum." OR the women who can say "I love sex and the fact that I can make a shitload of money HAVING sex is why I do this..." I have even met several whores who spoke of the sexual abuse they experienced as young girls in terms that are more honest, like actually admitting that having their older brother rub their pussies at night DID feel good and led them to WANT it from other guys when the chance came along, or the fact that they ENJOYED watching their older cousin masturbate in front of them, saying it turned them on. ONE whore even admitted to a relationship with her brother whereby, from the time she was 13 thru 16, and he was 15 thru 18 until he left the house, she used to jerk him off VOLUNTARILY, and this led to her having a fixation on men and their dicks and enjoying the sight of a penis erupting in her hands and the feeling of power it gave her....The HONESTY with which many whores can speak about themselves and their lives is a turn on in and of itself.

Some years back I read parts of Porn: Myths for the 20th Century, by Robert Stoller (Yale University Press: 1993). He was prof of psychiatry, now deceased. It featured interviews with some of the 'luminaries' of the 1990s .

Here's a bit on it from Amazon (I read it so long ago I'd be hard pressed to give a full review):
From Publishers Weekly
Stoller's self-styled "ethnographic" study of heterosexual pornography consists of reprinting transcripts of his interviews with porn actresses, actors, directors and producers. Much of the material has the aura of a hardcore flesh magazine. Affecting a nonjudgmental attitude, he writes in a short concluding chapter that most porn scripts are not "simply anti-female . . . these stories are often full of freedom--women depicted having a marvelous time." Most pornography "does little good and little harm" except for child porn, he avers. A UCLA professor of psychiatry, Stoller qualifies his position in his summary analysis, stating that anger or rebellion against one's parents and society underlies most pornography, that it exploits men as well as women and that a desire to degrade or be degraded is an element of pornography.

Many things have changed since that was written, and not for the better. Thus, saying that the above is inaccurate would be a serious understatement.

What makes you say this? Things have changed in what way? I think the quote from the professor is still valid.

Well, the prof died in the early 1990s so he never revisited the topic. I don't know if gonzo, max hardcore, khan tusion and extreme associates would have made a difference to his argument.

I'll briefly list a few things which have changed below; this topic really belongs in another thread:

- Widespread access to the Internet rendering porn more accessible than ever before
- Porn spam, porn in search results, etc. making porn potentially unavoidable
- Many, many people becoming addicted to porn and being affected by it
- Sadism/masochism (pain and humiliation) in mainstream porn
- The decline of North American / Western society
