Nice save!


I looked at a couple of pix of her, btw. There's a good reason she's an ex-porn star.


That statement is clearly about looks, not about her aging or the point of her argument.

Yeah. She looks old.


If she were ugly, I doubt that she would have been a porn star in the first place.

If you put the statement in context - following the questioning of her new-found religion, perhaps you can connect the dots.


Whatever. What you said was very clear. You can backtrack now all you want.

Even if I give you the benefit of the doubt, I'm not sure what you're missing here. Whether you were talking about her "looking old" or her looking ugly: Her looks have nothing to do with her argument. To bring them up at all makes you look like an ass, as I said earlier. I think she's dead wrong, but not because she's old or ugly or whatever.

She says she quit porn because of religion, you say it's because it's she's too old or ugly or something. If you want me to take you at your word, maybe you should extend her the same benefit of the doubt here.

Wow! And what's that book called?



It's one scene from American Gods.



Holy shit, I just assumed that was from de Sade. A friend once really recommended that book to me, yet somehow avoided that part. Incidentally, I now have to read this book.



I taught this book in a class last year. My students were most disturbed by the graphic descriptions of a homosexual sex scene between a cabbie and a djinn.



That's amazing to me seeing as the scene is basically , djinn comes out of bathroom wearing towel around his waist , the two talk , djinn drops towel & gently pushes the guy down onto the bed , fade away . Not much graphic there . They may have kissed before the fade out .
Now the scene with the man eating vagina , I'll give you that one . But those are pretty much the sex in the entire book . BTW I love that book & just re-read it recently .

Around here, they would become scandalized if a book had two men holding hands.

Pullin' on the slicker here...

It seems to me that Mrs. Porn-star-come-Christian has been suffering from a severely debilitating disease of character known as "restless shovel syndrome". Unable to satisfy her abnormal cravings, she's moved from shoveling huge amounts of cock into her orifices to shoveling huge amounts of cocaine into them (how else did her nose get the Jacksonesqe look?). The inevitable progression of this syndrome is to become a born-again Jesus freak or to die a burned-out, disease ridden crack whore. I guess she's lucky she found Jesus before she moved onto the harder stuff, but why the hell does she have to make the rest us suffer for it? Godwhore.

Statistics have show that sexual intercourse can improve one's health, and since masturbation results in virtually zero chance of disease transmission, it's also the safest form of sex. Therefore, porn = health (except for the occasional case of carpal tunnel and related chafing issues). The way I see it, those who use porn are reducing the burden placed upon an unhealthy society (the opposite of tobacco use and alcohol abuse). Therefore, I move that a proposition be placed upon the California ballot to incur not a penalty, but rather a tax credit for those who support the industry. It will be the perfect move to counter the bill in the state assembly... Yes on Proposition 69! biggrin

Why does John McCain think it is a good idea to hire a cross-eyed dude with bad teeth and a speech impediment to run his general campaign? (RIck Davis you are Nasty looking!)

John McCain's campaign continues to show the world how horribly inept they are when it comes to the internet. It is really astounding how old gramps and his people look every time they come near the crazy world of tubes. This week, they started an online contest to find the best person in the world, or some shit like that.



Oh yeah, and ...
Democrats Need Not Apply.





Seriously. How fucking stupid are they going to look when they reject videos because they don't portay Republicans? Or even better, if they forget to check, and then give the prize to some bleedin' heart librul?!

That would be all kinds of sweet.

You taught that for a class? I think I got screwed in my college itinerary....



There are way more fucked up books taught in english classes in college than I think people are cognizant of. For instance, Women in Love. Seems very victorian and repressed, and then bam, the main female character is anally penetrating the main male character.



And here I thought Lady Chatterley's Lover was as far as Lawrence went. Clearly I have more to learn.

Whatever. What you said was very clear. You can backtrack now all you want.

Even if I give you the benefit of the doubt, I'm not sure what you're missing here. Whether you were talking about her "looking old" or her looking ugly: Her looks have nothing to do with her argument. To bring them up at all makes you look like an ass, as I said earlier. I think she's dead wrong, but not because she's old or ugly or whatever.

She says she quit porn because of religion, you say it's because it's she's too old or ugly or something. If you want me to take you at your word, maybe you should extend her the same benefit of the doubt here.



and you smell so much more like roses for jumping all kill-crazy on a minor comment that's not really out of line.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
well, she admits that she was a alcoholic, drug-addicted prostitute before she became a porn starlet. she worked the industry for a couple of years in the early 90s, a time period that cause major changes in health screening, drug tests, STD screenings, and such industry wide. she contracted genital herpes. that probably had a bit to do with her leaving the industry.

however, i really doubt she would have been any better off as far as that goes had she not been in the porn industry. turning tricks on a street corner isn't exactly a step up on the STD safety ladder. i'd say it's a step down, personally. plus there's the random asshole who just calls you into his car to regain his health, then beats you about the head with a baseball bat so he doesn't lose any of that money he's saving to buy that dance club to unlock more missions.

furthermore, if you've not made a decently-sized name for yourself in the porn industry, you either get relegated to "support" roles or dropped entirely as you get on in the years. so while it turned out not to be true in this case, i can easily understand why bald_eagle would come to the conclusion he did. when i saw a picture, i thought the same thing. basing his assumptiona on a trend in the porn industry (that of actresses finding less and less work as they age, often causing them to leave the industry) doesn't seem like a heinous crime. fuck, if she actually was ugly, she'd have an easier time. going from blond, buxom and youthful to saggy and aged is a bit more of a career hurdle that going from rather ugly to rather ugly and a little wrinkled really doesn't show much.

I did a bit of research, and it turns out that I was wrong. She didn't quit the industry because of her appearance.

But neither did she quit because she had found religion. She quit because she contracted genital herpes.

The sequence is unclear in the Wiki article about her, and she glosses over it on her web site. But the article about her in Las Vegas City Life clarifies the timeline.

She caught incurable herpes, which ended the porn career. Then she tried to commit suicide. After that she entered a treatment program, where she "found God." As this occurred after herpes had ended her porn career, I think it's safe to say it wasn't the reason she quit.

Sorry, my bad. Ifrit, not djinn. And the ifrit was the cabbie, but stole the salesman's identity and left him with a cabbie's licence.

Here's a tip: How about a psychologist or a medical doctor who has some sort of proof of the negative effects of porn? Oh, you can't find anyone? Well, good luck..



Of course there are plenty of psychologists and sociologists who do make claims, write books, and go to conferences with loud claims about the negative effects of pornography in terms of how it spoils people's ability to have realistic dating and relationship expectations.

If anyone would like to read a brief overview of this perspective, go to the Time magazine article, but don't blame me if you feel conflicted the next time you...

Does Porn have negative effects?

p.s. paying per minute to look? screw that!! Doesn't that make it more like prostitution and less like ART???

It's sad.

I'm horrified by all the people just looking at him from the sidewalk.

It makes me wonder how I would react. I would really like to hope I would be more helpful than that.
