My opinion is not based on right or wrong, it's based on the best possible option for anyone who wants to raise a healthy family, and live a healthy life. This idea that we can just be care free human beings, with no responsibility, is for children.
How is being a model, nude or non-nude, lacking in "responsibility?" That right there is a value judgement that is subjective. It's one of the things I see all too often, and very much dislike, in American society. I know the US is not alone, but the sexual immaturity of my homeland is one of the things I am not proud of. And this smacks of it ... hard.
There are a lot of things that happen in private that are far, far worse than even what pornstars allegedly do. Being honest, open, forward and considerate is everything that is right in the world, regardless of what someone's occupation or other consideration may be.
How often do we teach young adults "don't have sex before marriage," but don't explain some of the reasons why? Instead of getting them to "work out problems" instead of "just having sex," we tell them "not to have sex before marriage." That's just as wrong. How many times do people marry for the wrong reasons and still never learn to work out their issues, using sex as an excuse, now that they are married?
The reality is that it would be in the best interest of anyone who wants to have children, to not be a porn star or pin up model aka modeling your tits.
It would be in the best interest of everyone to stop judging others. But that is probably the #1 driver in American media and society these days, to judge others to make ourselves feel better about ourselves. We gossip what is public and what we can see, to excuse what we do in private.
Imagine trying to explain to 13 year old girl, about respecting her body, only for her to go to school and here how about all the boys whacking off to pictures of the mother.
13 year old women already get bombarded with advertising for products, images of "perfect" and other non-sense to the point of anorexia, bulimia and all sorts of other bullshit. In fact, the American repression of sex is its main culprit ... the endless gossip and childish flirtations with sexual innuendo to a harmful effect
As I always had to point out to people in 1998 who said, "My son/daughter found out about oral sex because of Bill Clinton," I would merely respond, 'No, your son/daughter found out about oral sex because immature, American adults love to gossip, and the US media is focused on ratings."
The main problem with modelling, pornography, etc... is not the actual career choice, but the judgements, stigmas and gossip that comes with it. Kids are going to have all sorts of sexual issues on their own. They aren't increased by having a person who is a model around them, or decreased by blind, stupid belief they don't exist if they are not immediate.
That same, subjective argument is used against gay couples who are raising children. And to that I say ... "Thank God at least a household of two, loving guardians are at least raising a kid together." We do enough in the US to promote single parent households and other non-sense, yet we focus on the very, very small, select set of "issues" as the only ones that are the "real problems." H
I wouldn't want to know my mother shows her tits in pasties and brawls to the world to masterbate too, and that would effect the way I see her, and the way I view women.
Kids get teased for all sorts of things. It's part of being a child. But here's the reality ...
It's the immaturity of the parents, the adults who want their sexual gossip and judgement, that are the core, original problem. Without it, without that immaturity, without that ability to contain themselves, to keep their discussions to privacy and the bedroom, that results in the immature kids who tease. And you don't need to have a relative or close one for it to happen. You're looking at the problem all wrong.
That's not debatable, that's not a view point, that's reality.
Yes it is. And it's very subjective. The only thing that is objective is the Golden Rule.
Just like if my mother was drunk, and I had to see her drunk every night, that would effect me.
Inebriation is wholly different. That is a true irresponsibility. It's an addiction.
Don't confuse modelling and even pornography with sexual addiction. Sexual addition is completely different. Can models and pornstars be sex addicts? Sure. Drug addicts? Sure. They are serious problems. But are models and pornstar sex or drug addicts by default? No.
If a parent has a sexual addition issue, one that causes them to miss appointments, ignore their family, etc... that's a serious issue. But you don't have to be a model or pornstar to be one. Far from it!
But as with all "judgements," whether it be creed, orientation or occupation, people like yourself will be there to immediately say, "this is a problem," instead of stopping to differentiate between addictions and occupations.
Porn stars have it worst, because without question, the constant exposure to sex, is taxing and dangerous to the body.
So is consensual -- let alone non-consensual -- sex, and a real problem in many societies. And there lies my greater point which you missed. There are constant issues with children, let alone adults, that smacks of irresponsibility far worse than being a model, and even a pornstar. Lack of consent, not teaching our young men to stop at the limits a woman has placed, etc... You see that in this thread, among others, over and over. I would rather we teach our young men to recognize that, than "no sex before marriage" and other non-sense.
And not every pornstar is shooting constantly, or with multiple men over a month. There is a good amount of erotica, especially in the new digital media, of even monogamous partners. But that's another story.
But you know what is safe, and healthy? Having sex with a person that loves you beyond physical attraction. Our bodies are sacred, because we each only get one, and we all have to make sure we take the greatest care of our bodies.
I practice monogamy. I prefer monogamy. And guess what? What's wrong with erotica between monogamous partners? There are many now. Several of them are my favorites too. You're ignoring that. You're using a blanket statement too.
But there are a lot of non-pornstars, let alone non-models, who have promiscuous sex. Here in the US, since the '90s, it's been around 20% for men and women alike. It's been even for a generation now, as the earning potential of women matched men after the laws of the '70s through early '90s. One out of five men and women have regular, promiscuous sex, and not in a STD regulated industry like pornography either.
As has been proven over and over throughout time, even "taboo" industries and practices are better legalized and regulated than outlawed and uncontrolled.
Now does her lifestyle make her a bad person or parent, no. But it will be something her, her husband, and children have to live with, and her actions will have some sort of effect on her children, whether they ever acknowledge it. I cant imagine playing football, with a mom that the whole team goes home and whacks it too...that sounds brutal.
Why? Again, that's judgement at work. It's immaturity. It's obsession, by others.
Those who choose to be couples of the same sex, for whatever reason, get the same load of bullshit too. Has nothing to do with the bedroom. It has to do with caring with another individual. Ironically it's the long-term, monogamous partners who get the most shit from people. Not the promiscuous, "flamboyant gays," but loving, caring, role-model adults who are responsible, who live together for their lives, but happen to be gay. Just how "fair" is that?
It's that level of bullshit judgement, not because of what you don't see, but because of what people are, as their life, their commitment ... whether it's an occupation, or a life-long, monogamous relationship to be admired ... instead of the "private slut" or the "promiscuous gay" that people associate with the open, responsible sex worker or monogamous same sex couple. So I'm not going to say such judgement is even "wrong," it's just absolutely the wrong place to even place it!
When people disagree with you, they are wrong, and confused, and incapable of understanding and comprehending your points, so much so that they can't even provide a valid counter argument without mixing their own personal bias emotions into it.....you sound like an ego centric person. Get real, your ideas are based off your own personal opinions, and clearly if people are disagreeing with you, their not universally correct.
I only asked people stop to understand my points. I made my original point
without quoting anyone.
But instead of stopping to understand my call
not to judge others, you provided perfect examples of why judgement is alive and well in many places, especially here in the US.
Yes some husbands, manage their wife in the porn business, and some even buy their wives drugs to get high,
And there we go again ... the direct associations. Drugs are a huge problem in all sorts of lifestyles and occupations. But you went ahead and made that one.
and some husbands even watched their wives beat on their own children...
So being a pornstar is the same as a drug addict or child abuser? Seriously?
see the flaw in your thinking?
I was thinking the same thing. But unlike yourself, I don't judge. Unless someone is
violating the consent, even physical rights, of someone else, I do
not judge them. That's the difference in my views.
You can't base right and wrong off what some people do, or don't do. Healthy is smart, and Unhealthy is unwise. I love my wife, but I support her being a sex toy for hundreds of men, so other men can lust over....hmm and you really can't see that someone would have to have a hole in their heart for that.
You associate lust with many other things. That's the difference.
If we taught men to lust, but not to lust to the point of ignoring consent and pushing women into what they don't want to do, history would be a lot less violent. Possession, obsession, coveting things ... it doesn't matter what spiritual or sociological viewpoint one takes, there are
equal warnings against what that sows as well.
Loving someone is about wanting the absolute best for your wife or husband, and if you think the best for that person is parading their tits off to men of all ages, your seriously mistaken. And if you think a women, deep down, feels proud of her self for showing her tits to the world, your also sadly mistaken.
Women enjoy their bodies. How they choose to do so should not be with the caveat, "You are now a slut, and all men can pressure you (or even for you) to do what you do not want to do." That's what I'm saying. You keep missing that point.
In your definition, because a woman is a model -- ignoring even pornstars for a moment -- she is going to be violated, and she should know better, and her husband should know
People have private thoughts. They will have private thoughts regardless of whether they are a model or not. Celebrities deal with this more than anyone, and many are as far away from models as one can get too. It's hardly limited to modelling. And that's a problem with society, not occupation.
I don't care how much they convince themselves that their happy, spiritually their lacking.
That's funny ... because in both spiritual and sociological aspects, "lacking" often takes a different direction. It's not defined by what someone does to allegedly cause another to violate them. It's based on what others do and do not obtain the consent of someone.
The female species, in all animals, is design to make the male specie work for her(two lions in the Savannah, or two wolves, or two birds), and it's design that way for natural selection to take place.
This is actually
very false statement. But I'm not going to tangent on that.
Human beings, being a more intelligent specie, need more then just the strongest male, so women require different things, but no little girl plans on growing to expose her body to men for money....and that's a universal truth.
And yet ... that happens in so many ways, as an occupation other than model or pornstar, and that's a problem with society, not the woman. Society needs to change, not the women, or their occupations.
Just like no little boy dreams of being a drug attic. Her desire to not go nude, is most likely a business one, and a personal one, but I promise part of her wants to keep that last bit of innocence to herself, because like I said, showing her boobs for money was probably never first choice as a child, because deep deep down...it feels wrong....because it's against her female design to WANT to give her body to men for money.
Lust is a built-in, programmed response. The focus is not on what a woman should or shouldn't do. The focus is on how people act, and control themselves.
Gossip is one of the biggest, spiritual and sociological issues in the US. It drives so much of our media and hurtful judgement. It loses focus at such a level, that the gossip itself is ignored, and the target of the gossip focused upon. Ironically, even religious texts warn of the dangers of gossip and judgement being far worse than any sin. And yet, people will use even religion to instigate some of the most hurtful. Gossip and judgement is the problem in the first place, whether we're talking religious, spiritual or sociological.
I gave an example. But I bet you will find a very very small percentage of these women came from HEALTHY loving homes. Note that I said healthy, which can't be meassured in the size of the house, or income of the family. If two parents, who love their children, and teach them self health, and respect, will find that their daughters have too much respect for themselves to expose what they should be giving to someone they, and whom loves them, to the world.
Children should be taught how to treat others, and why hurtful gossip has no place in any aspect of life. The fact that people use celebrities, models, reality TV stars and pornstars as their biggest excuses is just a focus, and it goes well beyond.
Because if my wife told me that for five years, she was a top internet model, who showed all goods for money...I would feel robbed of knowing this women is for me, because I was special enough in her eyes to have her.
My wife is special because of my relationship with her and how she treats others. It has jack to do with her sexual history. Honestly, openness, caring, these are what matter.
A prize is less special, if everyone wins it.
My wife is not a prize. I did not win her. I do not think more or less of her if I was her first or not her first. She is my best friend.
Yes your right, no one should be bashed, and talk about like crap. But she is the entertainment business, and people feel robbed when they pay a fee for entertainment they dont get. Is it right...NO. But it happens. Look at what musicians go through when their albums flop.
Yes, which is why judgement is constant, and it doesn't matter what business one is in. There are enough children who are judged for the results of their parent's occupations, many completely undeserved.
I still cannot believe how many people associate modelling or even pornography, an industry of consent and choice, with addiction, drugs, violation, etc... where is about lack of self-control as well as even violence and crime.
Violence just uses sex as an excuse. Lack of consent has nothing to do with pornography or modelling for that matter. Those are issues that are completely separate, and people just use as an excuse between. The problem is the violence and violation, not the excuse.
I don't know what your talking about, nor do I know any people like that. Like I said, her business is her tits, since the image of her tits is what people pay for, their for the consumer does have a right to voice his or her opinions. I doubt the stupid comments are something that keeps her up at night. I think her fans get more butt hurt then she does, and I doubt she even comes on forums like this one often. Her fans are the ones who take up arms, and deal with it, while she lives her life as she see fit no matter what. Which was my point...why come on a forum and call her all kinda names, and why come on forums and talk like she is the reason the sun came up...it literally doesn't change a thing. Lust is not flattery, nor is hate productive.
My wife would say lust is flattery, as long as it does not cross the line of not respecting consent. Consent is the key detail. Consent is absolute.
Consumers are meant to expect...expecting is lucrative for her. If she chooses not to do something, it's simply a business move by her part, and she will have to live with the consequences good or bad.
But it should not cross the lines like any other good. Men dropping to levels that show clear disregard of well being and consent of a woman says far more negative about the man, to other women. That's why I keep harping on the "self defeating" nature of what I see men doing here.
Being a consumer doesn't mean you have the right to treat a provider like they are less than human. Every man who says a female model or pornstar is different than any other occupation or provider and worthy of going beyond their consent and pushing them beyond what they want to do is basically using the relationship to sex to excuse their desires to violate the Golden Rule. The Golden Rule is the most objective, universally agreed upon viewpoint of mankind, and for some reason, being a model or pornstar means men have an excuse to ignore it.
It's one thing to complain about lack of content and interaction. It's a completely other thing to push a model or pornstar to do what she does not want to do. It's self-defeating for men, because all women notice. It uses erotica and turns it into the outcast of pornography, where lack of consent and even violence are excused. Judgement to treat another human is if their views of their own bodies and presence do not matter. That's the point I was making, and you keep ignoring with subjective judgement.
If you don't see my points by now, you never will. I'm asking people not to judge. Don't use what someone does for a living as an excuse to push them. Don't add to the bullshit of society that already exists. It's self-defeating for us men. It's why women have to worry, because we have the entire history of mankind showing lack of respecting consent and disregarding their views, just because of what they allegedly do "wrong."
