porn's social stigma
So I've strayed from the societal norm and taken the perspective that the porn industry is a perfectly normal thing to do for a living, I've lost tons and tons of friends... potential friends... future friends... old friends. I let it be known that I do porn, I guess that's my problem. I guess I find it hard to exist in such a hypocritical society, where the porn industry is huge, profits are huge, and yet people are content to keep any mention of it hush hush. Enough of this stupid bullshit.
Fuck the people that think porn isn't meant to be talked about, that the adult industry is somehow below every other industry.
Fuck the people that stash piles upon piles of magazines and videos under their bed and then have the balls to tell me it's wrong to produce it, that it's not legitimate.
Fuck the people that think the people who participate in this industry are somehow lesser people, and don't deserve the rights of people participating in "legitmate" occupations.
How do you guys cope with this shit. I guess I see things from a more hardcore perspective than most of GFY because I actually work with models, and I'm the guy that does some dirty work. I don't just sit behind a computer and arrange traffic trades. I try to brush this shit off and pretend like it doesn't matter to me, but holey shit. I can only take so much of society's hypocrisy. I can only take so much of the double standards people live by. It may be a simple thing to hide that you're a porn webmaster, but it's not so easy to hide being a pornographer. Even if I don't tell people, it still comes through... people eventually find out from someone, somewhere. I almost wish I could make porn mainstream, but in another respect I know this would dillute the significance of the business I've created. I know I can't have it both ways...
Anyway, how do you cope with this nonsense we all deal with?
