The problem isn’t porn it’s people who stigmatize porn! Why do we discriminate the porn industry so much? Moral righteousness needs to stop! Let people act porn if they want to without the worry of being outcasted by society!
Clearly Ed personally hates that he did porn and feels traumatized enough to want to die.
It's not just society, people also have their individual feelings about sex and who they choose to do it with and who sees what they did.
Also, notably, don't go into porn because of debt where there is nothing the banks can repossess from u lmfaoooo, just default and build your credit back up.
You know the whole "i want to die" thing isn't because he's ashamed he did porn but because he misses glen... right?
But that’s his experience! Not everyone will feel that way! Not everyone going into potn will hate it! Mind you Ed was ok until he lost his job and got ostracized by his friends and workmates! If they had been positive about his porn acting and understanding would he have still turned out this way?
Do you have reading comprehension skills? Go back and read the chapter. Note what he says about sensation transference
I agree with what you're saying, just dont want to underestimate the personal response in this particular case.
Totally agree with you. That's what I was trying to saying without having to go into too much details. I wasn't saying porn is bad. But resorting to porn because of debt is just not a smart idea because 99.99% chance you will hate the reality you have to face once people around you find out especially if you don't like it yourself.
I wasn't stigmatizing porn. Nor was I preaching moral righteousness. I believe we live in a free world (for the most part) and can make our own decisions. Good or bad and we have to be able to face the bad consequences of our decision. Kudos to people who are proud to work in the porn industry (I don't know any). But the reality is porn is looked down on regardless on how you feel about it. If you enter the industry simply as a way to make quick cash because of debt, then it's because you're desperte and not something you'd normally do. And 99.99% of people whom make regrettable choices like Ed and enter the industry are never happy with the consequenses. Regardless who it's with, porn is still looked down on by society and most people don't want to be associated with in the open. It's just reality. Hoping that the stigmatization of porn will "stop" I think it's quite unrealistic. Rather, you should say that if someone enters the industry it should be because they enjoy sex and having people watch them watch sex. Not because porn needs to be accepted by society. Because, it won't. It's just the truth.
Kids, no matter how tough life gets, don't be a pornstar. You're better off begging on the streets. Ijs
