I worry that relying on charity is the survival skill Shelley Lubben is teaching girls trying to leave porn. It's not just that quitting the easy money of the sex industry is hard; it's quitting any job when you're not skilled at much else.

Walmart gift cards don't even skim the surface of easing the transition. If Shelley really wanted to help, she'd teach them how to write a resume, job interview skills, time management, organization, etc. Sounds simple, but remember these are young girls who have to start from where they left off which probably was a minimum wage job. These skills got rusty from spending a few years in porn. They've lost a sense of structure. Porn is a lot more forgiving than a real job if you're late or unprepared. A real leader would address this and coach these girls accordingly. Lubben just comes across as self-serving.

Personally, I think Jersey moving back home to Florida is perfect. Starting over means she'll be at a lower income (and that's ok). The more affordable cost of living there compared to l.a. is crucial to her survival. I hope it all works out for her or anyone rebuilding their life.

A solid plan and life skills are forever. Donations are a short-term solution. If only Lubben would see the light.
