I have been wanting to say something on this, but the wording is something I am having trouble with. Will give it a try.
The word whore is the same has harlot, hooker or prostitute, it just has a more gutter association to it.
My personal beliefs are that these adult actresses are just that. I may get flamed for this, but if you have sex for money your a harlot. Doing it in front of a camera just makes it legal.
That is mot really the issue though as most of the girls on here have said quite frankly that they are a whore.
I am not familar with the adult industy but I would think that like other industry you get a cross section of all types. I have heard many porn stars mention there college degrees and even Jenna Jameson (who I really don't care for) won a debate at Oxford.
Just because a girl chooses to work in the adult film industry that doesn't make them stupid or uneducated.
It's a job, sure some of the probally do spend all there money on booze and drugs; however there are also those that save money knowing that the can't do it forever and also those that do it to put them through college.
We all respect different people for different reasons. I persoanlly hate nothing more that hypocracy. When a girl comes up to me and admits that she is a whore and is not ashamed by it, I find that to have intregity and I respect that. Is that to say that I that would want to marry or even date one, probally not, to much baggage for me. I'm a simple man, but I do respect them.
I do agree with you that you don't have to be extremely intelligent to fuck on film, but that doesn't mean that just because you fuck on film that you arn't intelligent.
I am afraid that you views mirrors most of society though. Most people think very low of porn stars, strippers, prostitutes, etc.
Just because one is a whore, doesn't mean they are stupid and ignorant; neither does it mean that they are intelligent.
I think that worlking as a porn star takes a lot of confidence, and good looks. The pay is great, for not needing any education and little training; however the downside is that it has a huge burnout and it has a really short career span. Working 10 years make you ancient in this business where in most other career, you arn't even close to half way to retirement.
Thanks for listening to my rant.
Take care all.
