-Violent and damaging sex acts which often does internal damage also the possibility of being injured or murdered by your John or pimp or being permanently injured or murdered during a scene (in hardcore)
 
- The fact the humilated and hurt performer/sex worker is simply a dehumanized outlet of sexual sadism/vicarious sexual revenge fantasies, bile fancination and/or to be laughed at

-Misogynistic and Homophobic Propaganda (women/gay men are hypersexual will have sex often rough, painful, degrading anyone anytime and enjoy being abused which encourages misogyny (which effects all women) and dampens empathy (proven)
     
-Knowing your murder will be excused, ignored or you will be blamed or people will believe you deserve it (Hardship Blaming)
-Financial or contractual coercion/manipulation (you signed you have to and/or agreeing to something relatively softcore and ending up with more people and more ‘extreme’ scenes witholding paychecks unless you do).  which will have no recourse due to filming contracts.

-Rape/assualt committed ‘off duty’ by a colleague or stranger due to the unrapeable myth

-Being exposed to STDs including herpes and HIV (incurable) because of low condom rates (it pays higher and is discouraged) and dodgy regulations and enforcement. HIV takes months to detect and people don’t abstain from condomless sex during that time making it meaningless.

-Marginalising curable diseases because they can be cured ignoring the harm they do
     
-Having to Pretend to enjoy the work and lie about their job to keep the porn propaganda, up not doing so means you are out ot the job (I guess free speech only applies those in power)
-Having no control of your image and living with the knowledge it can come back to haunt you having the people you care about see it and ruin future job opportunities

-Having to live with social stigma and discrimination of being a sex worker (ties into the above) people wants it’s porn but don’t care much for the people sacrifice for it

-Erotising things that really shouldn’t like be violent, degrading sex and obsessing over youth. Barely legal girls…aren’t. And other depraved obssesions  
   
-Porn propaganda and popular culture portraying porn amd sex work as something to aspire to it or just seeing it as a safe easy job prospect. Despite the dangers the sex industry (pornography, prostitution and stripping) and the lack of and denial of protection and recourse a sex workers has.

-Porn propaganda glamourises sex work and promises fame and riches that only happen for few. It doesn’t pay well for what women are subjugated to (which isn’t always paid in full) few women much money. 

I hardly covered everything but these people need to be helped not fucked. Do think that victims of circumstances and vulnerable people in society should be helped? Or do you think that access to porn and sex workers is more important than these issues?   

Reasons and effects for entering the sex industry (pornography, prositiution and stripping) and societal factors:
-Prior Abuse and assualt and abuse, harrasment, assualt while working (physical, emotional, sexual etc.) 
-Having/sustaining phychological disorders    
-Poor emotional/mental health
-Injury and disease (umtreated) sustained from sex work (Internal damage from violent sex is abhorrent)
-Substance Dependancy and Drug access (as stated earlier)  
-Emotionally fragility and Naivete (easily led and preyed upon)
-Shame, humilation and social stigma (sex workers viewed as sub human and ‘once a whore always a whore’ discourse
-Criminal record for prostituition and mistreatment from police 
-Poor education (lack of knowledge and life skills)
-Lack or job skills/availability   
-Distorted views on sexuality and sex work  
-Lack of sex education      
-Financial & social destitution (no money no where to turn but the industry or the streets) 
-Lack self worth and despondancy (cease to care about your wellbeing)
-Self hatred and self imposed punishments
-Coercion/manipulation from partners, family (the cycle of poverty is usually to blame for this) ‘friends’ or people in the industry
-Being at risk for rape and assualt (also applies to gay porn performers for homophobic reasons regardless of sexuality)    
-The normalization of porn culture
 

The sex industry is fucked up on several levels and it’s widespread all over the globe. The sex industry in most first world countries is largely unregulated  cruel and corrupt. What people fail to realise it that glamorous lifestyle of the highend where women choose to do sex work is the extremely lucky minority but even then there’s still drugs and abuse. The sex industry only portrays glamour and freedom to give the illusion that it’s the majority, which is good for business. If that was the case why would any woman on the street corner just apply at the highend brothels to start with? They end up on the street because they aren’t affluent and/or from ‘good homes’ to begin with.  If they did apply I doubt they’d get a foot in the door. They deppressingly are the unrepresented majority.    

Drugs and alcoholism is rampant within the industry and many workers depend on the industry for to support their addiction or even the root of their addiction. They often provide drugs to lure and keep them dependant or they turn to drugs as a coping mechanism. They often being drunk or high porn at pornsets and performing in videos (meaningful consent is gone).  Noone cares if you are on drugs at work as long as you don’t impede the filming or get them in trouble. Pointing out that other industries and other people do it doesn’t mean it’s ok or lesser it’s stating a fact. Drug and alcohol abuse is widespread and impacts on many people and society the porn/sex industry being a (disproportionate) demographic affected.

People just agree with whatever supports their point of veiw.

Some pacifists–such as myself–believe that going to war can be justifiable in some very rare cases, such as to defend one’s own country (Gee, it’s been a while since we’ve had one of those, hasn’t it?). I also believe that certain regulations must be followed in any war–no torture, no killing of civilians, etc. That doesn’t mean that going to war is in itself a pacifist act. In fact, war is inherently violent. No matter how one tries to glorify it, war is violent, ugly, and terrifying, and the fact that some big corporations profit from it makes it even worse.

This is a great post.

My breasts should elicit no more arousal than my elbow! My vulva no more than my cuticles! My bum no more than my ears!

It is fetishization that does that, plain and simple.
