Thanks for the reply Jamie. And i do agree that Luke does serve a pupose, that being entertainment. And yes, he does 'sensationalize' things> But when he prints things that are outright untrue (...about half of the porn women in l.a. and alot of the men are out because of std's like chlamydia and gonnorea) it goes beyond 'sensationalizing' and moves into the realm of outright lies.
Good gossip stories, and tales of what goes on at real porn shoots are one thing, and yes we do find his tales to be entertaining, but when he prints outright lies about such improtant things as the health and wellbeing of people, and insinuates that somebody is intentionally infecting other people, that is going to far, in my humble opinion.
And I do agree with you about the escorting, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, and unprotected sex. Which is even more reason to believe that it is ridiculous to try to put the blame for an std outbreak on one person. SENSATIONALISM IS ONE THING, OUTRIGHT LIES ARE ANOTHER. In this case I believe luke has opted for the latter.
But hey this is porn, so who really gives a shit.These people obviously dont care about the risks they're taking so why should anyone else. And to any porn performer here who disagrees with this statement just answer this question to yourself honesly. Would I ENCOURAGE my own daughter to become a gonzo porn star? If your answer is yes, I sincerely hope you never have any children.
(I am sure there are porn performers who are very good, loving, parents, who would never encourage their daughters to do porn)
Have a nice evening Jamie, and thanks for the exchange of opinions. Your points are well taken.
