It's easy to say a person on earth who has a crappy life has been failed when one doesn't believe there's anything after this life. From an eternal perspective, the things we encounter here are really quite momentary, aren't they? Have you ever known a parent who keeps telling their kids to stay away from something hot, yet the kid keeps repeatedly wanting to touch, until finally the parent let's them, knowing that the momentary pain of the heat will be outlived by the lessons learned by that pain? I don't think God wishes any of us to live crappy lives, but we have free will to do whatever we want to do, He allows it to happen, and when we're ready to return to Him, He'll use our crappy experiences for good.

It does both, Mutt. I've seen girls come into the business who were already messed up people, and I've see daddy's perfect little girl enter the business who doesn't think there's anything wrong with porn because society says so, yet she ends up learning otherwise and is broken down by it.

She HAS to be damaged, because that's the narrative they have pre-written.

I actually say, "That's somebody's son" quite often, especially when speaking to audiences that are overwhelmingly female. The whole purpose of saying "That's somebody's son" or "That's somebody's daughter" is to move the audience to an emotional place where they identify. When an audience is mixed, it's more psychologically powerful to use the female illustration of, "That's someone's daughter."
Also, porn does indeed damage the males just as much, yet fewer of them are willing to share what's going on inside. Many males just prefer to suck it up and get mad if anyone tries to get them to talk about their feelings. That anger is nearly always an expression of pain.
If I tried to get YOU to talk, for instance, about what motivates you to stay in porn, I doubt you'd open up or tell the truth to me or even to yourself. But I guarantee you, it's not because you're truly healthy inside.
