you're assuming that there is shame in what they have done, or you are implying or projecting shame upon the profession.

we all make mistakes, we regret some of them, we learn from some of them, and we are ashamed of some of them. as parents teach their children values, they teach them how to deal with mistakes and what to be ashamed about.

if our culture is a desert (which many might argue is the case), then our values and morals are like sand... they shift and change with the wind.

the subltle side of this issue is how you deal with the issue of exploitation. when we realize we have been exploited, we all feel hurt and shamed. do you think cristine hefner is ashamed of her dad? nope, she now runs the business. i would venture empowered porn stars who are in control of their careers have triumphed over their own purient values wrestling match and come out the other side confident in their choices. they will pass that liberal mindset along to their progeny and most likely have as good of a chance at being a good parent as any of us who hide our desires and vices and live less openly.

i suggest that our world would be a better place if we all raised our children without shame, and sought to teach them understanding and acceptance instead. it is possibly the only real path to peace.
