Quote: I applaud Gen for posting her real name. At least she's proud of what she does for a living.
Why do porn stars need stage names at all? Mainly it's because they're ashamed. Ashamed to let the world know they're in porn. It's not about stalking issues. Couldn't Jennifer Lopez or Robert De Niro be stalked? Yes. Why don't they change their name? Because they're secure in what they do. Some actors do change their name but mainly because they're unhappy with how their first or last name sounds or who their parents are. EX.Nicolas Cage(Coppala)
If a person really wanted to find out a porn stars real name it wouldn't be very difficult especially with the technology available today.
I am not ashamed of what I do, but there are stalkers out there. and they don't just target you, they target your family.
my mom found out I did porn through some one emailing my site to her. that would have been impossible with out my real name.
a religious group went after Marie Madison, contacting all her neighbors and her parents, that wouldn't of been possible without her address which they got with her real name.
I am not ashamed of what I do, but my grandma shouldn't have to explain it at church.
for some girls its a mental thing too, a persona that they put on an attitude of confidence they might not otherwise have. and while I am not ashamed I didn't call my mom and go, hi mom I got pissed on today.
