what do you think????

a lot of porn actresses may have mental problems maybe

but tons of others dont

i dont think most porn actresses have mental problems

porn actresses are holy high women
porn is holy

[doraemon_washington]

'not well mentally' means mental problems

[xxxVIPERxxx]

There is a WHO statistic that says 50% of all people suffer from mental health problems at some stage in their lives...every one has these problems at some stage.

This includes our beloved porn stars too.

It is about putting measures in place to support them, and to help them get over it.

[antiochethereal]

Wasn't there some meme or joke about pimps saying that women/prostitutes/hoes were broken or break around the 400 people mark? x)

In all seriousness though, they would have to have mental problems right? why else choose this line of work? I don't think the money would be an incentive strong enough for a healthy being. Much like I do not go out and commit crime to sustain my porn "addiction", I think it is something you carry with you always or at least develop during serious life events. My ex went totally bonkers after being raped when she was younger (allegedly, she also lied compulsively).

In practice doing exactly that isnt that easy, though!

Anyway, I would strongly call against putting porn girls and sex workers in vernal in one corner and users, consumers and sex work punters in another.

I hear this so often, but i simply don't get it. If someone can shake their butt on OF and earn more in 5 minutes than others do in a month - then why shouldn't they do that?

Why would someone prefer to be a furniture remover and have broken bones by the age of 35 when they can earn ten times more with healthy bones?

[YuriyProneBone]

He probably was referring to consumers in which case I would agree. Most people that consume porn have an issue. In my case it's sex addiction in general, porn is just one way I release it, but before I was married it used to be picking up girls at nightclubs, parties, and through my line of work in photography. Most of the money I have made as an adult has been spend on sex, including real sex with regular dates with regular girls, escorts, pole dancers, and of course porn.

[squirtjunkie]

stupid theme for a poll...


I think its bit 2 sides of one medal.
On the one side there is a reason girls get money for getting money to do sex in front of a cam.......
Customers pay for that, cause its horny and kind of " secret" and the kind of "unmoral" fantasie they have.


Actresses do have problems with what they do if they still remain thinking in the borders of puritan morality but doing these nasty pornshootings though.

If they truely accept what they do, its only same problem many celebrities have outside of porn.

People in porn are no more likely to have mental problems than the general population. In the US the ratio may be higher due to the US's daft puritanical views on sex - but nothing like as prevalent as Batty thinks. In Germany I've just heard a porn star has retired after years in porn. Proper name known from the start; she lost her well paid job as secretary to the board of directors and started in porn the next day. A colleague who used to be in banking is still in porn as she loves it - name known from the start, used to be a well qualified banker. Just shows how different attitudes are, even in the 1st World.

Wow, in 2024 do people still feel guilty? wtf? that explains a lot

I have no idea what most porn actresses mental state is (or porn actors for that matter), just like Oscar Batty has no clue either. He doesn’t know MOST porn actresses, just a few of them. I’m sure some have issues around mental health, whatever that might mean, just as lots of people outside of porn do. I’m also sure that the mental strength needed to do that job is far beyond what most of us could handle so most are probably much stronger mentally than most of us.

I’m sure the job takes its toll mentally and the social stigma and resulting isolation attached to it. This type of comment, suggesting that only mentally ill women do the job only adds to that stigma. Maybe he should stop talking these women down as, without them, he wouldn’t have a job.

Oscar Batty's comment was taken as OP from this thread out of context a bit.
There is some Mambo girls with mental health problems like Sayuri Sakai for instance, but it's rather appropriate to help than, like Mambo actually tries. No idea whether shooting porn in her state helps always but I am no psychiatrist. Many civilians need a psychiatrist as well, but that wasnt the original discussion Oscar was answering, this its not fair to threw stones at him I feel. Oscar also said many porn girls have been though a lot in their past, maybe we should better discuss this. Anyway, such a thread just shows porn users hypocrisy to me, sorry OP!

Exactly. A considerable part of individuals in current society live in an era of isolation and indifference. Coming across actresses in less than ideal mental health conditions is a reflection of the hostile environment in which most of us already live. It's dishonest to blame professional pornographic work for this.

Look at the current situation in Japanese, Chinese and South Korean societies: people there live to work - under constant pressure from everyone around them for more and more results. I must say that consuming and even producing adult content ends up being a way to relieve stress, relax and diversify your income with something that is intrinsically natural.

[xxxEVOxxx]

Just like the world statistics...the outcomes of this poll are also 50:50...

[Iddaoeeok]

I've got no idea and neither has anyone else here and what you or I think is completely irrelevant.

[marcoB]

What might be an interesting observation:
90% of the drama girls, the fake metoo girls etc. are "professionals" (full-time actors) which are somehow mid-range.

1) I have rarely seen a drama or fake-metoo from pro-amateur girls like subgirl0831, HotwifeLexiLove or semi-pro girls like "Anastasia Rose".
I mean subgirl and Lexi, just for example have fucked thousands (!!) of people (pros and amteurs) and you never hear any drama or me-too complains.

2) You also rarely see such crap from the top-actors like Angela White.

Conclusion:
So perhaps drama is a means used by wannabe stars to gain attention and potnential promotion.

[M_sicas_Candido]

Yes. Because the professional adult industry has no space for feminists. The producers themselves know this. At this point, traditionalism is saving the art of the professional sex.

So perhaps drama is a means used by wannabe stars to gain attention and potnential promotion.

I wouldn't doubt it. It was taught the current gen z (still very immature) with gender ideology that they can be whatever they want and the world must fall at their feet. When they don't get what they want, they resort to collective hysteria.

It's no coincidence that the MILF category is growing and the "teen" is being left behind. If it weren't for that, I may say with certainty that artistic sex would also have reached its creative end (just like it happened with Hollywood).

What Oscar is saying is kind of bullshit

First, what is his "measure" to say this

Everybody who is young is a bit of a mess. If you are in sex work you are running a wild schedule and a unique lifestyle which is very demanding. So you will have days where you sleep in, or are overly emotional, or stressed out, etc. This does not make "mental problem", its life.

All humans have days where we feel like shit, I still do and I am in my 50s and have a really enjoyable life. it happens. The pharma industry would say I need to get on "mental health medication".

hey look, people who chose sex work have some common traits. They don't like structure, they are open minded, fiercely independent, are somewhat disorganized and like the thrill of instant cash and the money you can make in sex work. They also are in a job that is very challenging for the body and mind and that will mean some days, you will not feel that great. That is just normal.

This modern day messaging that everyone who has bad days or drama in life has "mental health issues' and needs to run to the doctor to get medication, is utter nonesense.

If Oscar is meeting a lot of women who are not in good mental health, perhaps he needs to look in the mirror at his recruiting practices and if he is exploiting women in bad situations who are desperate for money and therefore he is exposed to more difficult people to deal with.

I don't know the answer, but such ridiculous generalizations about women in sex work are stupid. There are thousands and thousands of suicides in a year, but if 3 porn girls do it, its suddenly "blame porn". shall we blame accounting for the office girl who has a drug problem or blame walmart for the checkout girl who can't pay her rent because she is terrible with money?

people are people.

[TomHardick]

Man, the only thing that Oscar did, was replying a comment, and that's it, he didn't say anything. I wouldn't get mad at him. Mental health does not distinguish your line of work.

[doraemon_washington]

around half of the users say yes lol
