It seems like your daughter is simply taking advantage of her natural gifts in order to maximize income. One of my female friends who graduated near the top of her class seriously considered work as a stripper for a while during college, still planning on being an OB/GYN afterward. I think that for many young people the shock value of being some type of sex worker isn't nearly as intense as it's apt to be for their parents. Surveyed in the Netherlands, many people even see being a prostitute as a legitimate, respectable job (it is legal there, after all).

My view is that what your daughter is doing doesn't have to ruin her life. You mention she's in college and doing well. Porn is something that mostly works well while you're young. If you talk with her about any of this, maybe find out what her future plans are after her stint in porn. If nothing else, try to make sure she still has future plans. There's no guarantee she's gotten into hard drugs, particularly if she still feels loved and accepted by her family. Maintaining that strong father-daughter bond you mention is key.

She may also actually be safer from the effects of VD than the average college girl as she's apt to be more deliberate about her actions in that area, and should be more educated while also getting tested regularly. Many college kids are apt to operate from the view of "it can't happen to me". Thus an average girl could get chlamydia without any symptoms, never get checked for it, and end up sterile a few years later from something easily treated by antibiotics. Someone who gets tested regularly needn't worry nearly so much.

Best of luck.
