Sean Macaulay at TheDailyBeast.com wrote a wicked story a few days on “Life After Porn“, discussing how difficult it can be for actors in that industry to integrate themselves back into mainstream society, especially for the female actors.
This all comes on the heels of Jenna Jameson’s assault charge against her husband and UFC fighter Tito Ortiz.
In the age of Google, can you ever really start afresh from porn and have a normal life? A new documentary, Exxxit: Life After Porn, which hits the festival circuit later this year, explores just this topic. Director Bryce Wagoner interviewed more than 20 adult stars for the film, including industry legends like Randy West, Asia Carrera, and Amber Lynn. What he discovered was that porn is a fantasy world of quick money whose real price only becomes apparent when you try to return to normality.“We found the men stayed in the business as long as they could and were mostly OK with it,” says Wagoner, an amiable Southerner and former teenage bodybuilding champion. “The women who only did it for four to five years were the most jaded and had the toughest lives afterward. Every woman we spoke to—apart from Amber Lynn, who’s still going strong—had to reboot their lives at 30 and start over in some small town.” Such efforts were made all the more difficult by poverty. “For one reason or another,” says Wagoner, “they didn’t save any money, or if they did save some money, they’d lost it through some guy.”
This reminds me of this porn producer, who’s name I forget, who once said that you should only get into porn if you can’t even get a job at McDonalds, as it will completely mess you up.
Sex is such a taboo subject, in western society especially, that it doesn’t matter how confident you are, etc, porn will mess you up. Women will always have it worse as men will always just look at them as sex objects and nothing else. The whole Madonna-Whore dichotomy fits will in this case. As men will want to have sex with the the “whore”, but yearn for a Madonna, the perfect woman.
Here’s an interview Bill O’Reilly did with Jenna Jameson:
She does make some good points about how women are so sexually repressed, mainly by society, but than men can do whatever they want. All evolutionary.
