anti-porn parenting tips

A porn actress found Jesus and now finds Jesus for others. She provides helpful hints for parents as to why their little girls might become a porn actress. She and I agree that bad parenting (especially abuse), contributes to problems. She almost gets it in #4, except she decides to define prostitution vs pornography (in order to let everyone know she’s not a prostitute), instead of focusing on the fact that juvenile prostitution is nearly always caused by abusive parents or parents who have kicked their children out of their home. I’ve said it for years: underage prostitution could be eradicated almost entirely by focusing the law on abusive parents and having more readily available resources for abused or homeless children. (This would also remove underage trafficking and lots of people would be out of well-paying jobs and grant money.)

not always the total package (of looks and brains)

A friend sent me a link to a YouTube video of porn actresses being interviewed. I’m posting the link because yes, I do have a sense of humor. I laughed, I cried, I laughed again.

Some might think this reinforces stereotypes — maybe it does. I think these ladies are a woeful exception (much like Miss Teen South Carolina). I have to wonder what Larry Flynt thinks about this video and if he’s going to require political-briefing sessions with all the talent Hustler hires.

And no, I wasn’t surprised that the Brit had a better (albeit hazy) grasp of current events than the Americans. That falls in line with studies/surveys that I’ve read about.
