Abaya, I see where you are coming from because many people put money and time in the porn industry or it wouldn't exist. Obviously, there are people out there that want to do that type of work. There are people out there that would be happy flipping burgers too. There are other people who was to be engineers. It's personal what you want to do with your life. She was asking for opinions and I think that she is getting a wide-range of them.
Some people are fine with it. Others are not. Anytime sex is involved it is going to be a moral issue or a hot topic anyway. One way to look at it is this and this knocked me for a loop this weekend. My step-daughter is 16 and having sex. I went crazy, what is she thinking? blah, blah. Stop...refocus...look at self. Shit.
There are always double-standards involved when someone you care about is involved in something that could be life threatening or destroying. Strangers, eh I don't really care what they do or have done. Might sound horrible, but it's true. Therefore, I don't care if Randygurl does it or not, I just stated that I wouldn't and told her why. If it were a relative or close friend...well that would probably be a deal-breaker for me. I couldn't stand watching someone I cared about spiral down like the other friends I had.
On the SO issues, I wouldn't want to be with someone that had helter-skelter sex with strangers. That's my opinion. I want a person I'm with to be special, not the 'special of the week' for multiple people. She doesn't know what her future holds. She's unsure so she came to us. We obviously aren't going to make her decision for her. Maybe it would be a great thing for her and she would have no reprecussions down the road. But she does need to see both sides. That's one thing I like about TFP, you get a broad range of ideas from many backgrounds.
