I think that the guilt and shame our puritan culture heaps upon pornstars caused her demise.

Kill the evangelists.





Unleaded gasoline killed Britney Madison.

I think we will find out that she died because of the very same problems that led her to a career in porn, not as a result of the career itself.

Porn consumers are no more or less culpable in the fact that many of these poor souls cannot escape from the cesspool than midwesterners who buy Nikes...

The bigger question:

Why do you read his stuff?

In the main, the sex industry attracts women who are troubled and disenfranchised: emotionally, financially, educationally, etc.

the number of true porn exhibitionists--women, in other words, who would do this sort of thing for the sort of pay they would receive at the other jobs they are qualified to do (usually Starbucks cashier work)--are few (and of those, probably most have psych problems, traumatic pasts, etc.).

Porn work doesn't necessarily create the problems these women have, but it very often exacerbates them, and in almost no cases does it help to rectify them. You might think of it as a petri dish for growing desperation. You need the seeds, but the porn industry just provides a fertile environment that stimulates their growth.

Most of the confusion and misinformation regarding this story can be blamed on you, Luke Ford. Once again, nice job Putz.

Really? None of you are responsible?

Are habitual cocaine users, by driving the demand for coca leaf production, contributing to cartel violence in Columbia and Bolivia and environmental damage as virgin forests are clear cut to make way for coca? Uh-huh.

Are consumers who want cheap sneakers and plastic shit from Walmart supporting child labor in the process? You betcha.

If you drink Napa or Sonoma wine, did a Mexican die in the desert after paying a grand to a coyote for passage so he could work in vineyard for shit pay? Yup.

Do you, porn consumers of XPT, by consuming porn which continues to reach for new lows of violence, degradation, and gross-out cheap stunts, contribute to a cycle of traumatization of already fucked-up young people? Yes, you do.

Fuck Jesus and Shelley Lubben. This is a website that celebrates misanthropy in all its forms. If you're all the badasses that you make yourselves out to be daily basis, then put your money where your mouth is, and simply say:

"Yes, I help porn whores hit rock bottom with every purchase I make, and you know what? I don't care."

If we, as porn consumers, are to blame for all the porn burnouts, suicides, over doses, etc. does it also work in reverse? Do we get credit for the ones that find success after the biz? Like the ones that have the foresight to use the money they earn from our porn purchases for good furthering their education, buying real estate, investing etc or whatever. I know the numbers aren't in our favor here but if we can lift up just one ex porn girl by buying "Double Anal Ass Felching Overload 17" it's all worth it.

I buy electricity. Should I feel guilty about prisoners that are executed in the electric chair because I prop up the electric company and enable their continuation? Should all employees of Steak Knife Company A be in jail for making such sharp knives accessible to murderers?

Shelley Lubben is keeping everything in perspective. Porn caused all those deaths between 1914-1945.

OK, this argument is a lot better, but there are still some isssues: it's not that black & white.

The first thought: what of Blackwater tempting their hires to become mercenaries?

But also, what of Wal-Mart? I'm sure there's some job there that most of the girls could do instead, but just how much better is it really? You can't live on minimum-wage money and go to school to ever improve - it's the minimum wage trap. By offering someone like Haley a minimum-wage alternative to porn they condemn them to never moving forward in life. Porn may have offered Haley a chance that no one else ever offered, and the fact she didn't take advantage of the chance doesn't mean it wasn't there.

The other problem with the argument is the idea that "porn is more dangerous or 'lower' than whatever they had before", and that's not necessarily the case. The hookers are probably a lot safer in porn - tested partners and not likely to be killed by a John - and some girls are finally able to dump loser boyfriends once they can make enough money on their own to live.

The biggest problem is that doing porn gives kids far more money than they're typically ready to deal with. This both allows bad choices and allows them to put off or avoid good choices.

Unfortunately there often wasn't good parenting when they were growing up - otherwise there would be good alternatives to porn instead of that being the only way out of minimum wage - and the kids just aren't equipped with that upbringing to steer them away from the bad things one can do when there's too much money available.

My belief is that by time the girls get to the point of doing porn their course in life has been long since set by their upbringing and only a few details remain to be filled in. If they fail miserably after leaving porn they're likely have failed just as miserably anyway. They're better with a chance forward - school money etc - than never getting that chance, even if few use it wisely. Porn may be the only chance many will ever have at making significant income.

PS. It's easy to say that doing porn is a bad choice. But it may tough to prove to someone making $50/day that porn is that bad at $1,200/day. The kids either need better upbringing to avoid the $50/day situation in the first place, or good enough discipline to take advantage of porn income and get more out of it than a few handbags.

I gather that the majority of XPTers are moral relativists, "all questions of ethical behavior are subjective, morality is meaningless, etc" when it comes to their own porn consumption, but are moral absolutists when it comes to the women and girls who choose to do porn: they are whores with no souls.

Isn't that just slightly hypocritical?
