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?

Your views?

I wouldn't want my boyfriend to be a porn star and I know he wouldn't want the same for me either. I have always believed that pornography is wrong but most of society disagrees with me. But its funny that most fathers and husbands would not want their daughter/wife being a porn star, even though they view it themselves. I remember watching "Gene Simmons: family jewels" and Gene is a big time pimp and yet he does not want his daughter dressing immodestly or even near a guy. Why is that? Well, I do not know for sure but my guess is that Gene knows that deep down inside you should treat a woman with respect, not drooling over her like an animal.
