Being a porn actor is imoral/degrading?

[Khosson]

It does not have t be a pro.Even amateurs are counted in.
What are your opinions?

[Shaun]

Well, they choose to display themselves in this manner, so if they do think its immoral or degrading, then its their own damn fault.
Same with female strippers, anyone who thinks its degrading to women is an idiot, they choose to do it, look closely and you will find they are in total control of their male viewers.

[David Deas]

I guess people see it as degrading because they obviously don't hold the same traditional values as everyone else in contemporary society. For those that do, its like - "You couldn't do any better?"

[RZZZA]

yeah, what Shaun said, its their willful choice of profession.


I dont even think prostitution should be illegal. In the words of the immortal george carlin..."Why should it be illegal to sell something thats perfectly legal to give away?"

As for the porno business, I think its safer and richer than its ever been before, and I consider havign sex for money to be the cushiest job on the face of the planet.

Yeah...I agree. Only problem I have with it, is if all the girls become hookers and I can't afford a nice piece of ass !!

Maybe chicks would stop trying to become anything else but hookers (because its such a nice job... sex slaves basically.

[Chaigidel]

well I have known several strippers and they almost always had some effed up past-- but alot of people do enjoy working in the sex industry and people sure are paying for it :O --- i guess it all depends on the person.

[enoch]

good way to get paid
most people who make it in any sort of entertainment
especially if they are the actual "talent" and/or female
are damaged goods

[God-Emperor of Mankind]

Well porn actor/actresses is a tricky trade to be in.
There are still issues in the trade, girls getting drugged and rape on camera etc but in major companies the women have most of the power.

So the actual actors/actresses don't see anything wrong with it and it's really their opinion we have to respect.
If another woman or man find it degrading or immoral well then turn it off. You don't have to watch it.

[sephodwyrm]

Yes it is degrading.
How do I know?
Because most Hollywood hotshots and bigstars aren't porn actors or actresses.

For me, personally, I won't even care about the actress's or actor's history. So long as they play the role well I would like the movie.

[Thanatos]

Free love has no value.

That's all I'm going to say on this issue.

[Cluny the Scourge]

Heh heh. Cameron Diaz was in a porn film before she hit it big - some crappy video or other was revealed where she was topless and whipping some guy. And this is the wholesome cheerful moppet from There's Something About Mary. Skank.

Of course, it IS degrading to be a porn star - what kind of giblet-headed fool would think otherwise...oh, gosh, having sex in front of a bunch of bearded losers with cameras and then being distributed on the net for spotty dorks to jerk off in front of...no, that sounds very DIGNIFIED.

But lots of jobs are degrading. Working at McDonalds is degrading. In fact, pretty much any job that involves customer-interaction is degrading, having to scrape and kow-tow in front of wasters you despise to get their petty cash for your masters. People have no choice but to do these things - except to go hungry and become a homeless tramp...which demonstrates that the homeless are the most noble and dignified citizens of them all. They value their honour too highly to sell it cheap.

Degradation is a part of the System. It is Human. There is no escape from degradation. Porn stars make their own choice.

Free love has no value.

It has greater value than anything else in the world at the instant just BEFORE you cease being 'loved' - you wouldn't stop or exchange it for anything else, because you HAVE to finish.

[enoch]

not all sexual - even filmed sexual activity - is degrading - most of it is because the majority of the people who use it regularly have already been degraded by existence, but degradation is not inherent in the system

not disagreeing with you scourge, adding on

[MaximiIian]

If they choose that profession, then who cares?
Honestly, saying that being a porn star is immoral or degrading would be like saying that being a roofer or a chef is degrading.

[enoch]

being a roofer is rather uplifting

[Kanaric]

David Ducovny who was Mulder on x-files was a porn actor. So porn can at least get you on a tv show.

[Da Skinna]

"and is it love when seven midgets pee on a lady"

or something from that South Park episode with the switched Lord of the Rings film and BACKDOOR SLUTS 9. Some things you just need to hear the title. Backdoor Sluts 9 doesn't sound very dignified...

If porno isn't immoral, then it's neither dignified.

A lot of people enjoy being backdoor sluts...

Brent Corrigan views his body as something unique and special that he can give to people, i'm pretty sure he doesn't consider what he does immoral, and certainly not degrading. By all accounts, he enjoys being a porn star and director

Lol, and he's not bad at it either. Though he was 17 when he first started...

[Silver Guard]

Depends on the porn I suppose
I mean commone place sex, the usual stuff, can hardly be degrading, its what we all do anyway right? They're just being buisness-like about the entire thing, well, good for them.
However, rape and other "kinky" things are out of order and make women debased sex-machines. That isn't the way to go.
