Porn Stars: The Death of a Sex-Industry Profession

This is a good thing, right?


Not really.  When you read the story you find out the reason the "Porn Star" is a dying breed (pardon the pun) is because of "over supply".  In other words, it is the perfect storm for girls who want to become "Porn Stars".  It seems there is a "near unlimited supply" of girls who will do this kind of work.


The main reason for the oversupply is pretty disturbing.  Our society has finally accepted porn as mainstream, so instead of there being a stigma against "actresses" ending up doing porn as a final desperate act, girls are now growing up aspiring to work in the porn industry (i.e. have sex with strangers for money and have it videoed for distribution on the web).


If this is not a sign our society is in deep trouble, I do not know what is.


Here is the complete article:

The pull quote:

[Mark Spiegler] now turns away more aspiring porn stars than ever before. He notes that if a lot of people are willing to do a task, the star aura of the performers quickly vanishes. “A few years ago there were 100 girls in the entire industry, and now 100 girls enter the industry each week. They used to all be stars; now they all just think they’re stars.” The result, Spiegler says, is that “they’ve become interchangeable.”{Emphasis added}
He talks as if describing the parts of a machine.  'They are interchangeable', like windshield wipers.  Toss out the out worn out ones and plug in the new squeaking clean ones - until they too become old, worn and ineffective.  Like a commodity to be consumed.  


Remember, the "they" he is talking about are you daughters, sons, sisters, brothers, moms and dads.  These are human beings, treated and traded as things.  


For those of us who believe, the "they" he is describing are people created in the image if of God. Desecrated temples....
