food for thought, c&p
Society loves when the Damaged Goods Hypothesis gets reinforced, because it validates the shame we associate with sex in general. It’s refreshing for us to see that these people were unhealthy or unhappy during their time as porn stars, because we’re taught to believe that enjoying sex — which is what porn stars do for a living — is wrong, and so the people who make them must be wrong in some way. It’s a comforting narrative: we get skittish around people who enjoy sex too much — even when those people are ourselves — and so we just love hearing how that enjoyment was a mistake, and that we’re much better now, thanks.
