People have been watching and talking about Hot Girls Wanted, a documentary (streaming on Netflix) about painfully naive teen girls making amateur porn in Miami. It's candid and well done. Some of it is pretty rough. I thought you would have something interesting to say about it...
While it definitely identifies problems in the porn industry, it also raises a larger question about why so many young women are desperate to find their "freedom."
Honestly, I haven't seen it. I don't really know much about the straight side of the camming industry so there isn't much I can say.
as far as "freedom," I'm not sure how they're defining that but I DO know from my interactions with fans that one thing people love about my movies is how I try to depict sexuality as a bold, freeing action that requires you to take charge of your own body and sexual identity. I don't like to have "dom" and "sub" roles... I want to depict sex as a full-contact sport with both parties equally in control.
Americans grow up being taught that not only is having sex shameful but being a sexual being in itself is "bad." We tell girls to dress up as sexy as possible but the moment we suspect they like it, we brand them sluts... We like young women to be sexualized but only on someone else's terms. The moment a woman takes control and ownership of her sexuality, we call her a "skank."
And even look at how gay men talk about it... I've seen SO many commenters here describe a gay man who has sex as "a slut." I've even seen gay men describe themselves as "a slut" when they dane to actually have sex and like it.
And look at how RexCalibur is constantly trying (poorly) to slut shame me over something as mundane as swallowing a hot dog whole at a party to get laughs from my friends. That wasn't really a sexual act at all... that was me doing a silly party trick. It's funny. It's not sexual.
Just like I was born not really being ticklish, I was also born without the panic-response of a huge gag reflex. That doesn't make me a "slut," that's just... what it is. But turning that into a funny thing to do to get laughs (and not being embarrassed about it) is something that he, and many other people, think I should be ashamed of. I guess either only a "real manly man" would throw up if he got something too big in his throat OR swallowing a hot dog is too much like sucking a dick (to some people) and therefore since I'm not embarrassed to eat a hot dog, I must be ALSO not embarrassed to suck dick... and to Rexcalibur... maybe sucking a dick is something we should all be ashamed of willingly doing for fun (you'll notice he only seems to harp on sites where straight guys suck dick for money and not because they like it).
If your only sexual gratification is seeing someone dominated, subjugated and forced into humiliating sex... you're going to be very upset when people aren't ashamed of having sex or even ashamed of their own sexuality. I haven't seen the documentary so... I don't know if that's the theme. But it usually is.
