I don't have a problem with women doing it for a living, but I hate the fact that men who profit from it outright lie about ones prospects once the money dries up due to aging. At least give young women the truth so they can plan accordingly. the prime years to sell your body are the same prime years to begin a career (and are prime years to ind a husband.) sex workers don't do either and the merry go round stops at 30, tops. then what?
What woman thinks she'll be hot at high age? it's pretty obvious you're gonna lose your market as a sex worker.

Yes I know a Vivid porn star. She's a whackball but shes making money.

I think that when they reach a certain level they get to pick who they work with??

I work give anything to work with or just run into Julian (ladies, please look him up and you'll understand)

To all these people who are saying that strippers over 30 should be put to pasture, I know several 40 something strippers with bodies that knock 20 year olds out of the park.

All women. I was never hot enough to make money by standing there looking pretty, but I had no idea that how I was viewed at 24 is far different than what happened at 35. nobody gets it unless you tell them. that's why the strip club owners don't fess up. they know they don't have to.

I do not believe that you have 40 something stripper friends who are earning money like a 22 year old. sorry, not buying that.

Then again, you then hook up with a couple of new guys your age(mid 40s) and all they can talk about is that you should be in the porn film industry or at least a stripper cuz 'of the bank"..... I thought of it as a compliment............(in a roundabout way) Oh well. Not trying to be a twentys sexpot but there is a newfound audience/appreciation for the woman-not late teen girl.

A quick Google returns a book published by those two authors from 1971 on prostitution, which uses as its data interviews from the previous 10 years and anecdotal evidence from the prior 50 years. That means going back to 1921. Hardly a relevant study when there's been so much change in the adult entertainment trade - and personal health knowledge - in the past 40 years.

If that isn't the work originally cited then I have to beg off commenting, since I can't construct a rebuttal against a paper that isn't cited properly.


Well, the very nature of show business certainly demands attention from the public - but that wasn't my intended meaning.

What I meant was that looking at them as freaks - outside of their films - would be a mistake. Kings and Presidents still put their pants on one leg at a time in their bedroom, despite the majestic splendor you experience in their public personae.


Sure, it's common in many men and women - it's called a "dysfunctional marriage".


Boring and dumb for...you? Or for them? I could envision it being a little of both. Sure, they become jaded after a while; just like I occasionally become jaded after 30 years of teaching martial arts. That doesn't mean I don't still enjoy doing it - just that it isn't quite the same as the first time. But just like after-work sex for adult entertainment workers, it's all in the mindset you bring with you.

When you have sex with someone for money, your mind is in a very different place than when you're having sex with someone you love. You develop the ability to switch your thoughts on and off, to channel them into different directions depending upon what - and who - you're doing at the moment.


That may well be true, but what are the success rates of actors, musicians, dancers, sculptors, writers, stock traders...

The cream rises (no pun intended ) in ANY field.
That is my understanding. Furthermore it is pathetic that some are letting their own prerogative and bias against this media instead of taking a good hard view of the facts. IE using a 40 year old study of 50 year old data to proclaim their "gospel" or their own ideas on the issue.

I would be inclinded to belive some of the assertions but fail to provide substance.

Do I think porn is good? No I don't. But I wont pass judgement on those who do enjoy watching it or work in the industry.

Did this thread ever get sidetracked.......

Yes, I have wondered and I'm certain that many of them have enjoyed some of their scenes.


When I was a few years younger, I was encouraged to go into porn or be a gigolo. Of course I considered it a couple times. Glad I never did it but that is just me.

I would think a past in the sex industry would close quite a few doors. Of course it would open a few others.

I think maybe you underestimate the naivete of many-a 20-year-old.

Or 50 year old church ladies.

Women of most any age seem to hold powers over men. When it comes down to it... Beauty is only a light switch away. And males being males won't often turn down a chance to bump bellies.
