Had to add the "and other things" to the title because this thread is probably not just about the industry, it's more like "all things sex".
From the certain other thread on this forum, it looks like at least some people have quite liberal views on sex industry and using sex to earn money or a transactional value. I'm not sure of my views on this really. While I probably wouldn't mind if my girlfriend was a model or actor or singer, her being a porn star wouldn't seem right to me. Don't as me why, I don't know, it's just my feeling that sex is something more private and not something to do in front of cameras. Or should I say then "being sexual" as I don't see a stripper being anything else but a porn star. But then why should sex(uality) be something private?
I was also wondering here that as some people really love what they are doing for a living and would do it even with very little pay - would sex industry have the workers even if their pay(the value they get in return; doesn't have to be money) was minimal?
