So you all know that
Audrina bitch from THE HILLS had her naked photos spreaded across the internet.
My attitude towards porn is extremely ambivalent. When I see hot, straight / straight acting college guys getting naked, playing out all our fantasies I am excited. I love porn and I want more hot college guys to get into this industry!
However, I’m aware of the long term consequences for these guys, I also read many studies about men who have done porn have higher suicide rates. Sometimes I feel guilty of spending so much on porn, and by doing that, taking an active part in potentially ruining the future careers of the models. Some say doing porn is degrading, I absolutely disagree. Many guys we see are men with dreams and ambitions, they just need the money to go and do better things in the future.
Having said that, being a porn star does in fact close some doors. Many companies especially larger corporations do have a morality clause written in their employment contract with all employees which will grant the company the rights to terminate someone if they are convinced that his behavior breaches their morality standard.
I don’t really know if the hot guys we see on the internet are actually aware of the fact that many doors of opportunities may be closed forever once they have had sex on camera, and that few thousand dollars paid for the photo shoots simply could not compensate the forgone salary earned in say, a mid level corporate executive job or a professional job 10 years down the role. It breaks for my heart every time I see someone has to go through the ordeal to apologize to the public for their XXX past. Case in point: Simon Rex.
The only entity benefiting from this kind of "scandals" is the studio / production company, because everyone will look for those tapes on the internet!!
I used to think the porn stars are used. Then I realised that there ARE many NEW opportunities become available to someone because of their experience in porn! I figured that how much money you end up making depends on how smart and strategic you are in terms of capitalizing your new found fame as a porn star, just like any other businesses.
A common reaction we see after someone has been exposed is “I really regret this”. You don’t have to be. I don’t think this pessimistic view is productive in planning for the rest of your life, what is done is done and there is no use thinking about all the what-ifs. Just because someone might use the fact that you are an ex-porn star against you, you don’t have to see it as the end of the world. You do not have to regret anything at all, you had done it for a reason! I know at least two straight guys chose to participate in gay porn because they are in legal trouble and need the money to hire a good lawyer. Some go into porn because they need that the money desperately to pay for college. Some just enjoy the thrill of being known as a sex god. Not all of us have wealthy parents that could pay for everything, and why is it wrong to do porn? At the end, its just a modeling/acting job.
