Funny, I was just logging in to post similar thoughts about this issue. I'm actually pretty shocked at the responses of most people... even though some of them make sense, plenty of you all are getting downright moralistic on randygurl.
What if she was posting about becoming a porn actress? Or a stripper? Would you all (especially men) condemn her just as roundly as you have done regarding becoming a prostitute? Or would you find it sexy and say, "Go for it, baby, that's hot... can we see on Exhibition?" Most importantly, would you "refuse to marry" someone who had that kind of history as well, or is being a stripper or porn star somehow more removed than being a prostitute? I really don't see the difference, whatsoever.
This is what I don't understand about the whole sex industry. Why all the double-standards? If you wouldn't want your wife, girlfriend, daughter, or mother doing that kind of thing, why do you support it with your money, time, or energy?
I am certainly not anti-porn, or even anti-prostitution or stripping... but there is a vast continuum of ethics in this industry. Ethically-produced porn (especially woman-directed), where no one is addicted to anything or getting all manner of STD's, is awesome in my book. I would buy all porn videos made in that manner, if I had the money! It's great stuff, gets me hot as hell just the same as any other porn. As for stripping or prostitution... take a European country, for example, where prostitutes are unionized and the job is seen as valid and a conscious choice for many women. Very different approach than the American one.
I guess what I am incensed about is the fact that when most people use porn, I highly doubt they are considering these kinds of high-level issues such as "self-respect" or "disease transmission" or "this is like stabbing a child in the face for money." No, most people (including quite a few people on this thread, I'm sure) just sit there and get off, and are just glad they don't have to come home to that slut and get all her diseases and buy her drugs. She's someone else's business... literally.
