I did this thread because I get mail on this site and some others from gals who are thinking of doing sex work of some kind. I tell them pretty much what you all are saying:

Once it's done there are no "take backs"
You will not be able to use this on a resume
The money/fame will be brief
This has potential to affect people you love or will love
and ultimately the decision is a personal one

I posted this because, well I was actually asked to do a shoot with potential for some video work. Also because I wanted to see if my responses were that far off from what most (porn-positive) people think.

When I give this advice, often the reaction is get is a little dismissive - like I don't know really what I'm talking about, or I have some sort of hangup. It's good to know that I'm not way off on this. I'm amazed at the number of girls who think "well, I can always do sex work"...

Personally, I have no issue with porn or people who do it. It's really just not my thing - not even in the top 50 things I'd do to make money. I am really sorry if I upset anyone, but posing the question in this way, in this place helped me get a handle on the actual opinions of people who like/use porn, when someone who is not a complete stranger is the one being photographed. Again, I am very sorry I used you guys in this way.
