At the end of this post, I make a brief comment about a link between human-trafficking and pornography. For a painful video that helps to make that clearer, click here. Or here. Or search #refusetoclick on Facebook.
The pressure on
women to have bodies that match those of the movie and porn actresses is
immense.
“How can a real
woman – with pores and her own breasts and even sexual needs of her own . . .
possibly compete with a cybervision of perfection, downloadable and
extinguishable at will, who comes, so to speak, utterly submissive and tailored
to the consumer’s least specification? “ Naomi Wolf “The Porn Myth” - 2003

The porn industry abuses women (26)
The reality is that
participants in porn movies are frequently on drugs to dull the pain. It is
common for women to vomit between shoots.
. . . The purpose of
high powered drugs for most porn performers is to numb themselves, enabling
them to blurrily fast-forward through the punishment they’re putting their
bodies through so that their minds can’t catch up with the consequences until
much later, assuming they live that long.
We might think that
Chester is just trying to scare us with his stories and statistics about drug
use amongst porn makers. But here is something else:
Internet
Porn Statistics

Sex trafficking is
an issue here as well.
