What I’m about to say has been goin’ on for a while now, but lately it’s been really bad and I can’t just hold my tongue about it any longer.
Why the fuck do guys insist on sending me inappropriate email? I get literally about 1,000 emails a day…at least 700 of them are just plain dirty, some are even kinda offensive. Why do ya’ll think it’s okay to say that shit to me? Yeah, I get naked for a living. Yeah, I’m a slutty girl. But that doesn’t give you the right to run your nasty little mouth and say whatever you want to me! Above my career, I’m a lady and I expect to be treated as such. So what, I like to get naked and I like to have sex. But that DOES NOT mean you can treat me like a whore! No, I don’t wanna see a photo of your dick. No, I don’t wanna see a photo of one of my pics covered in your cum. No, I don’t wanna read a long, detailed email about how you wanna rape me. No, I’m not gonna send you my phone number so I can talk dirty to you while you stroke off. No, I’m not gonna send you a personal, naked pic of me. And what really pisses me off the most about all this, is that it says so right there on my main profile page! If I wanna see your dick, I’ll say so. If I wanna send you a personal photo, I’ll ask for your email address. If I wanna have sex with you, I’ll ask! So if that’s all you want from me, leave me the fuck alone!
I’m not really a whore, I only play one on TV.
To their credit, we found out about this post from The Blog of Pro-Porn Activism. We appear to share a common interest in calling for respect for women. With rare exceptions, however, we believe that porn, and adult enterprises in general, do not cultivate this respect.

Jenna Jameson’s 25 Good Reasons Why No One Would Ever Want to Become a Porn Star (explicit language)
ANDERSON COOPER [2004 CNN interview]: And if your daughter one day said to you, if you had a daughter, if she came to you and said that she wanted to get into that industry?
JAMESON: I’d tie her in the closet. Only because this is such a hard industry for a woman to get ahead and get the respect that she deserves. I fought tooth and nail to get to where I am, and it’s not something that I would want my daughter to go through. It’s not something that any parent would choose for their child…
“Most girls get their first experience in gonzo films – in which they’re taken to a crappy studio apartment in Mission Hills and penetrated in every hole possible by some abusive asshole who thinks her name is Bitch. And these girls, some of whom have the potential to become major stars in the industry, go home afterward and pledge never to do it again because it was such a terrible experience.” (Pg. 132 from Jameson’s book, How to Make Love Like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale)
“In a worst-case scenario, a gonzo director will take a girl to a hotel room and have their friends shoot a cheap scene in which she is humiliated in every orifice possible. She walks home with three thousand dollars, bowed legs, and a terrible impression of the industry. It’ll be her first and last movie, and she’ll regret it – to her dying day.” (Pg. 325)
“In other scenarios, she’ll work for two weeks until she’s only getting paid seven hundred dollars a scene and then, finally, no one wants to use her anymore. So she’ll agree to do double penetration or drink the sperm of twelve guys just to stay working.” (Pg. 325)
“If you take the time to read it (a sample adult-film contract) carefully, you will notice many ways in which a female performer can get shafted – both literally and metaphorically…” (Pg. 353)
“When they were finally ready to shoot, J.B. came into the makeup room and ordered: ‘Get your whore ass on set and do what you do best.’ He had just used the wrong word. I ran after him in a Tasmanian Devil frenzy. The crew had to pull us apart. It was late and my nerves were frayed, but nonetheless J.B. was out of line. And I was right: they were wasting time arguing about the lighting. When he left, I collapsed in my makeup chair and started crying.” (Pgs. 453-454)
Kara Nox, adult film star, on “What don’t you like about porn?”
A: …Mostly, it’s the attitude among many men that I’m subhuman. The degradation of women is getting worse. Conditions for women on set are becoming more and more dangerous. As porn grows, more men with Neanderthalean views of women are getting power as talent, and producers. The results are increased acceptance of violence onset. Women face enough danger outside of porn. It seems as though many of the men we fear are now doing porn, and they legitimize their misogyny by saying it’s for entertainment value. That scares the shit out of me, because it means there are even more troglodytes watching this, and geting off on women being hurt.
Porn Director: The Idea that Porn Actresses Are Not Prostitutes Is Silly (explicit language)
See, some Porn Whores don’t do privates cause they “are not” a whore. To these Silly Rabbits, they’re “actresses” who have sex on tape as part of their job. They reject the idea that they’re a whore, which means they’ll never do a private, to which I say, More Power To Ya, Whore!

Porn Actresses: Most Careers Are Short, Few Are Lucrative (explicit language)
Although the industry is dependent on fans for survival, many of the respondents reported a fairly negative image of the imagined viewer… Ironically, then, actresses and actors are motivated in part to receive recognition from a group they know little about and often disparage. In addition, they reported little pride in the products they produce. Like most artifacts in the “sleaze industry”, porn is disposable, mass-produced, fungible, and easily forgotten… Unlike the “straight” industry, actors and actresses are paid a flat fee for their performances, and receive no royalties for successful projects.
