well, that's a shame because I feel pretty normal. but I'm sure you know better...
Porn is for sure something not everyone can handle or accept and I don't expect them to but there are others who do just fine. My motivation is not self esteem issues or sexual molestation in my childhood or shit like that, my motivation is good pay. I think I'm doing something I'm good at and that's a good thing.
Maybe it's just that I'm European and you damn Americans are too fucking weird about everything that has to do with sex but I don't see why it's bad making a living by performing in sex movies for an audience. I just don't feel bad for it, sorry...
yeah and I do perform anal, dp and whatnot scenes but that doesn't mean I jump every time somebody snaps their finger at me. So I'm not gonna take stupid ass pictures holding signs, I'm not your groupie. Why don't you all make a sign for me first saying how much you love Katja? and if you can seriously make me believe you don't feel stupid I will go ahead and make a sign for you
Quote:
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.
