Quote: what bothers me is that none of these porn gossip writers can imagine that porn can just be another job: pays the bills, makes you more than flipping burgers, you don't have to work long ass hours and you don't have to see the same people every day.
It pisses me off big time that I have to be categorized with the usual crack whore picture they have in mind when they think porn actress. I go to work, show up there, do my thing, go home and collect my pay check, pay my bills and fall asleep on the couch watching TV in the night. I like this business, I love the people and I'm happy to have the chance to do this.
NO, I do NOT feel ashamed. I life my life, go to work and just try to be the best person I can for myself, my family and my friends.
Let me ask you: are you ashamed? why are you not writing for a political magazine or a real newspaper? do you have a picture perfect life and a "respectable" job? Stop judging porn stars, obviously you are obsessed with them plus you make a living writing about us (at least I hope it pays off for you in one way or the other)
Anyone with even a smidgen of psychological training will tell you that sex workers, such has adult performers or escorts, have to emotionally disassociate themselves from the sex act due to the fact they are having sex with dozens of different partners a week. Some disassociate due to psychological issues where others develop it to deal with their situation. Essentially psychologists will tell you that sex workers simply lack a conscience.
Its also interesting to compare pornstars to Dr. Robert Hare's profile of the typical psychopath:
glib and superficial charm grandiose (exaggeratedly high) estimation of self need for stimulation pathological lying cunning and manipulativeness lack of remorse or guilt shallow affect(superficial emotional responsiveness) callousness and lack of empathy parasitic lifestyle poor behavioral controls sexual promiscuity early behavior problems lack of realistic long-term goals impulsivity irresponsibility failure to accept responsibility for own actions many short-term marital relationships juvenile delinquency revocation of conditional release criminal versatility (attraction to criminal activity)
Female psychopaths are incredibly rare and research on them is based on too small a sample to be reliable.
