I couldn't imagine being the kind of human being who would punish any person with the loss of their job over their sexuality.
Your main concern seems to be the terrible abuse these girls take after porn from those in powerful positions in society - why aren't you spending your energy and passion railing against them? Is that what Jesus Christ would have done had been a manager at Hewlett Packard or run a real estate agency? You know the answer to that one.

Mutt, this is pure justification. I'm sure you want to believe this crap, but deep inside you know it just doesn't ring true. I'll quote scripture, which I know many of you won't respect, but I firmly believe the author is right. Read this, especially the bold/italicized parts:

There?s more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, ?The two become one.? Since we want to become spiritually one with the Master, we must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment and intimacy, leaving us more lonely than ever?the kind of sex that can never ?become one.? There is a sense in which sexual sins are different from all others. In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of our own bodies, these bodies that were made for God-given and God-modeled love, for ?becoming one? with another. Or didn?t you realize that your body is a sacred place, the place of the Holy Spirit? Don?t you see that you can?t live however you please, squandering what God paid such a high price for? The physical part of you is not some piece of property belonging to the spiritual part of you. God owns the whole works. So let people see God in and through your body.

Yes, there's something different about sex. Which is why, like I said before, people can be found on a counselor's couch 50 years after some traumatic sexual experience. Some of the girls who used to work for me have told me they've attempted or contemplated suicide. If it really WAS "just sex," that wouldn't be the case. Deep inside, all of us know it's not "just sex," but we're so wrapped up in justifying ourselves that we stubbornly refuse to admit this fact.
And, Mutt, it is NOT the companies like HP, the Academy, etc with morality clauses that need to change. Morality clauses are pretty common, and becoming more-so all the time. Because people act like idiots and professional companies want professionals representing them. HP would also fire those involved in many of the videos that go viral these days, regardless of the lack of sexuality within them. A past that includes porn videos isn't the only thing getting people let go from professional companies.
Nobody is saying sexuality is wrong. Sexuality is beautiful. Porn takes the beauty out of it and twists it into something... not beautiful. The real thing is pretty amazing: the counterfeit - porn - is not.
Those of you saying you'd be okay with your daughter shooting porn are full of it. If you said you'd still support her no matter what she chose to do, I'd buy that. But there is no decent parent in the world who would truly wish their daughter to be gang-banged on camera and paid so little to allow such a thing.
