Precisely, I agree completely. Which is why I got rather incensed at the quality of some people's replies here; for me, it is more about the psychological, emotional, and mental impact of a decision on the person, rather than the morals of other people or the laws of other lands (and yep, prostitution is very legal in many countries). It is up to the individual and what he or she can handle.
What got me off track a bit was seeing how some people morally condemned the OP for even considering such an action, but would possibly have little moral problem observing another stranger (or possibly even this one) performing sexual acts for money. To me, that is a form of cognitive dissonance, but what do I know.
Just saying... if you're going to support the industry of paying money for sexual acts, whether merely observing them or partaking in them personally, I don't think you have any room to *morally* condemn a woman for entertaining the idea of going into the business herself. And I say that as a person who definitely enjoys porn and supports the ethical production of it.
As I posted earlier, if her personal ethics say she's alright with giving this a try, then by all means, go for it! You only live once. But the feeling we are all getting (including her) is that her ethics don't jive with the idea, and so I would discourage it based on that fact alone. Not on moral grounds.
