Do retired porn actors hate their past?

[yeahright1991]

Why not look up interviews with past porn stars...I believe the Sword does something called an exit interview? Who are we to say what someone feels about their past profession?

 

[Benvolio]

People fail to distinguish among female, gay male, and straight male porn and among prostitutes, call girls, gay escorts and gay street hustlers. Obviously there rare huge differences among them. I will not attempt to define all those. But a woman who becomes a prostitute is, I think, unlikely to be able to return to a respected heterosexual life as mother and wife.
A gay escort does not impair his later life as an openly get man, I think.

 

[Alnitak]

With prostitution, most of the risks are due to it being illegal.

I do not look down upon prostitution at all. It should be legal. But it is untrue to say it is risk free, and promiscuity is a detriment to public health. HIV and HPV are potentially lethal.

Legalize it, and most of the risks will vanish.

On what grounds is drug use a crime? If the government can decide drugs are illegal, they can make anything at all illegal -- sugar, lemons, skydiving....

I could be wrong, but many of you could desire to live in a lawless society.

From that standpoint, i'm guessing there's a belief, that any law made by man, due to it being "man-made", should be deemed frivolous. If that's the case, you would have to include all things that are punishable by law, including murder, theft, rape, and other things considered anarchic. That way of thinking would have to include all things currently shunned.

A lawless nation left unregulated, has been proven to be disasterous elsewhere.

Traditionally, societies fail to function well without a higher authority. The laws and presiding bodies of government, whether perfect or not, on average, do a nation well.

Accussing all "man-made" laws as being "bogus" can't be selective, all things made by lawmakers need to be included.

If you want, here's a link to one perspective of lawlessness in effect:

How would pimps be legitimized? Prostitution under a pimp is human trafficking and, if the prostitute doesn't have a choice, involuntary servitude.

A pimp almost by definition is a slave master.

Human Trafficing:
organized criminal activity in which human beings are treated as possessions to be controlled and exploited (as by being forced into prostitution or involuntary labor.

Pimp:
One who finds customers for a prostitute; a procurer.
intr.v. pimped, pimp·ing, pimps
To serve as a procurer of prostitutes.
Link: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/pimp

Pimps are not always human traffickers. If desired, pimps can be wanted for their management skills, and un-official protective skills. When I say pimps would be legitimized, I'm meaning to say that there's a belief of them having more incentive to do what their heart desires, due to their product being legalized, and free for the taking. They would presume free-enterprise. For prostitutes who desire pimps, with their new found freedoms, their demand would increase.

A prostitute faces dangers daily because it has been made a crime. That means that they can't take any measures to protect themselves, because those would draw attention to them.

With prostitution legalized, pimps would automatically become unemployed, because the prostitutes wouldn't need a "protector".

Prostitutes fear more than assualt. All of the other things that prositution, and perhaps a legalized version of it, can manifest, are potential dangers.

Also, I doubt all prostitutes would universally begin to defend themselves. To me, that can be wishful thinking. Afterall, there are sex workers who claim to desire pimps.

Another binary thinker.

<sigh>

Besides being binary, you speak in generalities that are impossible to respond to. And you throw in bizarre statements such as the last above-- which needs an argument showing that prostitutes would need to defend themselves.

I wouldn't classify myself as binary, as I'm open to many things.

Agreeing with certain values or views, doesn't have to be binary.

Some people may think calling someone binary, for understanding conservative, traditional, or common views, binary.

Also, to me, the prostitution statement wasn't bizare. Some may encounter physical threats, others won't. However, the one's that do, may not want to deal with the prospect solo, even if legalized. It seems that some desire pimps, and not all prefer to protect themselves against terror. They may not want to, or think a protector, no matter the circumstance, is better.

Prostitutes don't "need" pimps, but needlessness, doesn't mean they won't be had. Not all have pimps, and those who have, aren't necessarily forced.

It's not about agreement, it's about the fact that you show no understanding of any middle ground -- it's either all one way or all the other.

Some prostitutes may well desire pimps at the present, but that's only because their jobs are illegal. Remove the illegality, and the need for a pimp vanishes, because the need for protection plunges to near zero. That's another evidence of your binary thinking.

Understanding an objective standpoint, to some, is liberal, and non-binary.

There are no impositions on you, but some things have facts backing them.

Other countries have legalized prostitution, and seem to have an understanding that nothings bettered. There is evidence of failed expectations.

Here's an article by Brenda Zurita called,"Amsterdam’s Legalized Prostitution Experiment Failed, Miserably"

We have different views, and that's fine, but some things have failed elsewhere.

 

[Harke the Boeotarch]

^ If Zurita and Bindel think legalized prostitution failed they should point out a place where criminalizing prostitution actually prevented the bad things they describe from happening.

I can't get that link to load.

But it would merely indicate that they did it wrong, because there are places with legal prostitution and it works just fine -- for starters, Nevada.

Good point. All that criminalizing it does is remove police protection from the prostitutes.
