It's already starting off prejudiced with the loaded word "slut." Truth be told, how many McJobs can 18,19 year olds find these days that will actually give them some extra cash to do what they want with their lives?
How is it explotive for them to loan their body for a few hours of a photoshoot when it's not exploitive to send that same body into war to be maimed, mutilated and killed? At least the porn model (well bad timing, that photographer was just mentally imbalanced, most of us aren't) is more than 95% likely to come out in the same shape, mentally and physically, as when they came in.
I've met tons of models. True, some can be pretty fucked up, druggies, but a lot of them just want to get to their goals as quick as possible, and are not ashamed of their bodies or sexuality.
I really queston how paying somebody a decent chunk of change - several hundred dollars - is "exploitive." They made the choice first off, and they're being well compensated. I'd say it's more exploitive to call these people "exploited" since most of those who level those accusations are pushing their own beliefs into the lives of mostly unwanting individuals for the sake of furthering their own koolade movements.

I totally agree. In fact, that was pretty much my response to the person who told me that it's "people like me who turn girls into sluts." They're just jealous.
