Sorry, I Work in Porn – We Can’t Be Friends
For those of us who work in the adult entertainment industry it can be hard to meet people outside of the industry, unless we keep our occupational details to ourselves until the person has gotten to know us better. It's not often that I run into people who can understand that my job is a job and not much more than that. The media demonizes the adult industry and sexual acts yet at the same time throws sex in our faces 
every chance it gets. It makes me wonder why people aren't running to adult industry professionals for a fix of some kind after the mainstream media has gotten them all excited.
If you listen to most rap music lyrics you will find that it's a verbal rendition of porn videos. Rock music doesn't get away scott-free either, but rap is much more prone to it. I'm a rap fan so I am not some pompous white kid talkin out my ass either. I am not writing about the sexualization of society by the media - I could, but not right now. Just jump onto youtube and type sexy commercials to get started.
Voting for Child Porn
I was strolling through GFY (an industry board - if you don't know it then you're not in the industry) the other day when I ran into a thread where someone was asking for input on their new site. I looked and wasn't impressed. Not because the site was poorly done but because the content appeared to be composed of minors. Now, consider that I know the game. So for me to think that these girls are under age is no vote of confidence for your site, however if that's your target I suppose he nailed it. Which was the case because the website was feeding the 18 market. In his defense he hasn't done anything wrong - the content came from sponsors who all have the proper 2257's needed.
Still, I commented on the thread:
"I don't like to see children when I hit a porn site.
That's just me though."
I was simply voicing my opinion on the appearance of the content, and not stating that the content was in face children. Had I honestly believed the content WAS children I would have taken every step I could think of to make sure the site went offline.
Response to Betty Dodson’s blog entry, “My Latest Thoughts on Porn”
Let me open my response to Betty Dodson's blog entry, "My Latest Thoughts on Porn" (http://dodsonandross.com/sexfeature/my-latest-thoughts-porn) by saying that I am a man who has been working in the online adult business since 2001. I think I know a little about porn, from a man's perspective.
The women in professional porn are not real in terms of appearance and mentality. Women do not look like that naturally and they certainly do not act like that in reality either. It is important to understand, as Betty said, that porn is fantasy. It is created by men, for men. It is composed of men's ideas and interests, filmed at the sexpense of the actresses willing to do these things for the money tabled.
