I do think its unfortunate that people are saying "whores are fucked up". Their just different. If you really want to figure out how people tick, you cannot judge them and must look at them as if they were some alien culture that you were trying to understand.





Oh. So you're a sensitive flower who looks deep inside the souls of sex workers to try to understand what makes them tick. I see.

Psychopaths are interested in power, and there's simply not enough of it for the average porn star. So while I think you'll find plenty of producers and agents in the industry who meet the definition of psychopath, you'll find few female sociopaths in the San Fernando Valley.

If there's one DSM-IV personality disorder that is over-represented in the female pornstar pool, I would hazard a guess that it's histrionic personality disorder, characterized by:

1. is uncomfortable in situations in which he or she is not the center of attention

2. interaction with others is often characterized by inappropriate sexually seductive or provocative behavior

3. displays rapidly shifting and shallow expression of emotions

4. consistently uses physical appearance to draw attention to self

5. has a style of speech that is excessively impressionistic and lacking in detail

6. shows self-dramatization, theatricality, and exaggerated expression of emotion

7. is suggestible, i.e., easily influenced by others or circumstances

8. considers relationships to be more intimate than they actually are.

Then there are narcissist pornstars like Sasha Grey, and then that rare 3-5% who simply enjoy what they do and thrive in the industry.
