    It’s not even porn shoots. It’s her own terms and partners.

    To somebody who doesn’t know the industry, can you explain to me why that matters in any way?

      There’s probably a subtle difference between “exploiting yourself” and getting most of the money after OF fees, vs getting paid essentially minimum wage for a shoot which then gets repeatedly repackaged and distributed for the company that makes way more money off it than you ever did. Which on one hand is essentially the same as being any other actress, but also not remotely the same considering the material, and how many women regret being convinced to take part in it because of exposure and social backlash.

        Would you like to shoot porn when someone you love and trust or a random person?

        For me personally it would honestly depend on if it was for work or for pleasure.

        For others, I have no idea.

        My understanding of the original comment I replied to with my question was concerning business/work.
