Do you think that the parents of porn stars are proud of their kids?

I would be proud of their success, yes. But then I have no children and have no plans of getting any of those hellspawn, so I am not sure.

I would feel that I went seriously wrong with my teachings. I try to stay very open minded with the whole porn thing meaning that porn can be both good and bad. Bad because it objectifies womans bodies, and good because it can be liberating, and a form of self expression. But at the same time those are other people feeling liberation from objectifying their bodies and not my daughters or sons. Overall I think most young girls would regret having participated in pornography once they were older, but for those of them who don’t- no one can take that from them. So, I would not disown them, but I would not be happy either. I would reccommend they choose another profession along those lines…perhaps a sex therapist thats always fun.

Of course I would not approve of it, but ultimately (assuming I’m not wealthy) the only thing that matters is that they make decent money (the right way, not selling drugs or something).

I don’t think so. I would imagine many people in the porn industry (especially women) are probably disowned or have major family problems before they even make the decision to pursue that “career”.

Probably not. If I were a parent it would be really hard on me to deal with other people knowing what the inside of my kid’s ass looks likes or if famous then reading or hearing about various scene stuff. ewwwww.

I would take him out on the boat and have beers like I normally would. Life is too short to let details get in the way of the good things in life.

@ragingloli You don’t want to have kids, but God told us ”to be fruitful and multiply”...I’m just kidding LOL

@troubleinharlem I would feel extremely horrible if any of my children became involved in adult film. I would cry, weep, beat myself (not really), have sleepless nights, etc.

I have no idea; I would not be.

@mikey_ca
Well, with 6 billion+ of us crawling the surface of the planet, I am pretty sure we have been fruitful enough and can stop doing it now.

@silverfly So, a woman who is unapologetic and unashamed of her sexuality MUST be a damaged, screwed up person, right? Cause no woman could ever truly enjoy or relish sex. rollseyes

According to the interviews porn stars ave given, some have parents who are proud and approve, and some don’t. It varies. Just like it does in the world outside of porn.

I would love my child, I would support their decision and I would not be ashamed of it. Proud? Sure, why not.

@QuartzKitty Oh geez, don’t get all huffy puffy. I was saying that it’s especially degrading for women to be involved in porn and the way they’re treated during sex is sometimes appalling.

And there’s nothing wrong with a woman being unashamed of her sexuality but to want to engage in two men screwing her in two places and ejaculating on her face is not the same thing. That’s not equal to relishing sex. It’s just humiliation for a buck.

Um, I know PLENTY of women who get off on the idea of being with multiple men at once. I’m one of them, and I’m not alone. The orgasms from the experience are especially intense. In fact, a lot of women find it hard, if not impossible, to orgasm from vaginal sex alone, and often need anal stimulation to truly climax. Women are capable of multiple types of orgasms, depending upon what part(s) of the anatomy is being stimulated. Lucky us :) . Stimulating three types of orgasms simultaneously is… well, it’s like nothing you could ever imagine.

And I also don’t mind having a man’s cum on my face, and see nothing degrading about it.

Women are treated VERY well in porn, for the most part. It’s the only industry in the entire world where women make more money than men, have more power than men, and the women have control over who and what they do, and what company they work for. They have a list, for example, of what sexual acts they will and won’t do, and what partners they will and won’t work with. The men in porn, on the other hand, don’t get that. I’ve learned this from the pornstars themselves, and interacting with them on the internet.

Do some women in porn occasionally do stuff they aren’t comfortable with? Sure. But most don’t. Most of the time, if they are doing an act, then it’s something they are comfortable doing, and even enjoy. Who are you to dictate what they should and should not do?

@QuartzKitty I don’t dictate what they should and should not do at all. They can do whatever they want, but many people including myself see this this as degrading and as a parent, I would completely disapprove of doing it which is what this question originally asked. Many women may enjoy it, but from what I’ve seen it looks humiliating and uncomfortable. Sure, it’s all of their own accord, but is it? It seems strange to me to pursue this as a life goal and I think it’s more about the money.

You could argue the same for stripping. Do women really enjoy taking their clothes off to have drunk men gawk and throw money at them? Maybe they do and I’m just totally misled.

Funny you mentioned that…

I have an ex-girlfriend who is a stripper. She actually went to law school and was hoping to be a lawyer, even interned at a law firm, but got disillusioned by it when she realized that, as a woman in a law firm, she would have to work three times as hard as a man just to have half as much respect. She would have had to bust her ass just to advance at all, in an attempt to break through the glass ceiling, and the stress would probably give her a stroke by the time she was 40. Not to mention sexual harassment and unwanted sexual advances.

She found that white-collar, corporate type environments are FAR, FAR more degrading and demeaning to women than stripping or sex work. The customers at the club she works at are far more respectful towards her than the old men at the law firm.

That’s no good either. I have absolutely no tolerance for the oppression and sexism and I’m fully aware that it exists. Just because it exists in multiple facets in society doesn’t justify stripping. Choosing degrading paths is just furthering the oppression rather than fighting it by pursuing careers and positions traditionally held by men. It’s better to stand up for sexism rather than to give into it. Wouldn’t you agree?

How exactly is stripping ‘oppressive’? It all comes back to sex. If you consider sexuality to be something dirty and shameful, then yeah. But, if you are like me, or many strippers and porn stars, and see sexuality as a positive thing, as a source of pride, strength and power, then there is nothing degrading or demeaning about sex work. It’s an empowering thing. It’s all in your mindset.

Personally, I’d consider being a doctor to be degrading and oppressive (given all the bullshit doctors have to put up with from their superiors, patients, insurance companies and the like, and how they have so little time to actually relax and have fun), and I think people are kinda crazy for going that career path, but hey, if they want to put up with all that bullshit, more power to them.

my daughter is one of these. I am totally disgusted by what i have found out about her, she entered this seedy world and sadly she will get lost there, she is a beautiful girl but her looks have been ravished by drugs and this type of work, she is from a good back ground, i am all over the place since i found out about this and she has turned into such a liar.
I feel ashamed to walk down the road because as a parent you blame yourself, my problem is as soon as anyone finds out partners friends they think i am tainted too, i love my daughter but i cant be near her as i find this so disgusting its killing me inside. Now for anyone who would be proud to know their child does this is a person that has no f… morals.
My daughter had a option to get out but she likes the attention, so lke i have said she will be lost in this industry and its ruining my life aswell, blame is point the finger and who else do people point the finger at the parents because they must have dont something thats is wrong , but i didnt do anything wrong i just gave her everything and put my life on hold for her, i have lost two relationships already because of what she does.. does anyone even consider how hard it is for the parents to know tht their beautiful daughter is getting abused and used for sex, its dirty and wrong, i have been called every name under the sun and feel so degraded and its not even me tht does this.

@Quartzkitty are you serious! having just read your previous post’s it appears you probably have some involvement in the industry pretty obvious. Yeah by all means have a great sex life, whatever rocks your boat, just as I do, but I can tell you one thing, I certainly don’t want it broadcast to the general public….why would I? it is basically prostitution….The act of offering one’s self for hire to engage in sexual relations, nothing more nothing less, and don’t dress it up as anything other than that cause it’s not. As a man I occasionally watch porn but I have zero respect for the women that participate absolute zilch just instant sexual gratification, nothing more nothing less. If it were my daughter or son just as the parent above I would be absolutely devastated, but someone like you trying to justify what is generally looked upon as a seedy low life job trying to defend it is and dress it up as sexual liberation is utter absolute crap, it’s money end of. Have great sex in private with whom ever but don’t try and justify why you want it broadcast, in short todays porn industry has knocked back womens lib 30 odd years, have you seen how some young girls dress and I’m talking 16–17 year olds…..serious shit is going down, it will come full circle. To the parent above, I hope your daughter sees sense she’s lucky to have someone that loves her so much, take care.

Is it the porn industry that “has knocked back womens lib 30 odd years” – or the people that watch the porn and have zero respect for the women who participate? Remember, as they say about sex, it takes two to tango. Without people supporting the porn industry (by watching their product), there would be much less incentive for people to make porn.
