posted this on my blog just minutes ago:
In 2008, porn star Jenna Jameson stood on the stage of the Adult Video Network Awards show, to present an award named after her, and stated the following:
?Honesty is key. I will never, ever, ever spread my legs in this industry again. Ever.?
She?d recently sold her company to Playboy for $25 million, and was booed when she uttered those words.
Now, 5 years later and broke, she recently announced she?ll be getting back in. But industry insiders are saying she?s too old and worn out to make any decent money.
Tonight, I posted some questions to my former colleagues and am currently awaiting answers. Here is what I asked:
Quote:
Honestly, this pisses me off. I?d like to ask a few questions. Feel free to ignore me.
If I were to film your daughter ? when she?s over 18 of course ? and I told you what a great anal scene she?d shot for me the day before, when I teamed her up with three guys who all had her do ATM and then shot all over her face and in her hair, how would you feel about that?
If it?s not okay when it?s your daughter, why?s it okay when it?s someone else?s daughter? Because she?s making money for you and signed a model release?
When I?ve asked questions like this of Ron Jeremy while debating him at Ohio State and at Yale University on Nightline ABC, he always pointed to Jenna Jameson as an example of success in this business. I pointed out that Jenna is the exception, not the rule, and that most girls have a very short ?career? in this business, after which the work they do will follow them around for life. Long after the money is spent and they?re old grandmothers, their grandkids will still be able to find them somewhere. Nina Hartley, on the other hand, was more honest when I debated her and Ron at Ohio State. She said, ?It?s true ? the majority of models in the porn industry have about a 2 year shelf life, and afterwards won?t be able to work anywhere better than home depot.?
Now, Jenna is broke and probably can?t do very well in this industry. How does that make you feel? What if she was your little girl?

And again, to those of you who consume porn, you?re part of the same supply-and-demand-circle that tears down the lives of the actors and actresses on screen. You can hide behind an anonymous screen and escape responsibility. Consuming in ANY way contributes to the demand, which is filled by producers and companies who release the supply.
Just a li?l somethin? somethin? to consider?
