The patriarchy and its churches have conditioned us to have severely fucked up attitudes toward sex, the result being the rape culture that robs dating of most of what should be fun about it. Our attitudes toward adult film stars--dehumanizing to say the least--is another natural result.
I look forward to the day when there'll be so much homemade porn on the net that only the best pro stuff will be able to compete for viewers. But in the meantime, I hate the industry (for its treatment of people) but admire the actors, and I'll bet you've written some amazing stories from your interviews.
