You brought up some relevant points. I once knew a elderly unattractive woman. It was doubtful she ever was very attractive at any point i her life. I bring her up because she told me she wished she could have been able to make money from sex.....but she was never a candidate for that. She never had the choice. I wonder, if she had been attractive, what her choice would have been? She was poor, and felt being a prostitute would improve her life.
I had a student once who became a topless/lap dancer to make money. She saved her money and started a very successful business. I don´t know how she could have dealt with it so well, but she seems to have done well with the situation. Last I saw of her, she was married and had a couple of children. Most don´t fare so well, they come out with very deep scars. I knew another who did not come out so well, she committed suicide. Most have a very difficult time dealing with the dehumanization and objectification and consequently the use of drugs is high among sex workers.
I have no problem with the Gypsies. I might as well use the example of a Black boy growing up in notorious Harlem as has been done by many artists, singers etc.
What is implied here is the need for improving a skill in the absence of a other choices.
As long as you can not present what can be called a more ethical alternative to millions of young people who are forced economically to enter the porn industry you must not complain of the industry itself. Since it actually serves as a last resort to make up for society´s failing ends.
There are probably four kinds of females in the porn industry.
* Those economically forced to enter
* Those considering it as a golden key to a luxourious life.
* Those who are addicted to sex
* Those who are physically forced to enter.
