The Dirtier Side of Porn: What Do These Girls Go Through??

On June 11, 2010, a 19 year old porn star named Ami Jordan was reported dead in her sleep. The reports for the first couple weeks were unclear onto the cause of her death. However, the "Type 9 Models" owner Kevin Kline answers in an interview that she "may have had a problem with pills, in which she came to me to help her". Looking to a Porn owner for help about drugs and obviously emotional issues isn't exatcly the best method. The fact that she had to ask him rather than anyone related or close to her is odd itself. What drove her to possibly overdose on pills? Is being a Porn Star more than what it appears to be? The audience is greatly tricked by porn and how women appear to be having the time of their lives. However, this is all part of show business. The constant degration and offensive content of porn is more than enough to depress even the people watching it. It's almost like these women "sell their souls" to porn for the money and attention lacked in their normal lives. If this is the case, the porn adds another controversial outlook on its morality and emotional harm to women. There is a choice to becoming a porn star, just like there is a choice in watching it. In comparison, which is more of the issue? Of course it takes the consumption and viewing of porn for the industry to grow. The viewing is also a negative affect to porn. If the fear of being viewed as a "slut" or "whore" is enough for someone to commit suicide, wouldn't women with potential interests in becoming a porn star be turned off by such news? If less women enter the porn industry, less money will circulate. As big as the porn industry is, the owners most likely will try to avoid this. This brings us back to the Ami Jordan's death. If Kevin Kline had done anything to help her, there would be a better chance of her being alive today. How low can the porn industry be by allowing their stars to take drugs, when reasons could be based upon their enhanced preformances on them. If the industry is this dirty, maybe more of the viewing should be on the owners rather than the "actors".

"Porno the Issue": Creating the General Change Of Sexuality In Society??


Porn is a multi-billion dollar industry that grows upon showing extreme sexual content in a number of ways.  However, although many people in the world express negative views towards porn, it's obvious that it recieves enough viewing and reception to carry on as being lucritive. People hate on porn but are to embarrased to admit to watching it. Whether you hate it or love it, you have to watch it in order to have an arguement and opinion. Sexuality gains the attention of the whole world whether by positive or negative means. This could only benefit the industry and media. As porn attracts a wide-spread audience overall, sexual appeals to any type of content does the same. I'm getting at the fact that sex has a comfortable place now. Advertisements for the most wholesome material and things, is sold in a suggestive manner. Commercials are becoming more crude. Graphic images are disregarded as extreme, where as just some years ago it would have made popular controversy. Let's now get started with music. A song by Chris Brown called "make a movie", reffering to filming sexual acts in relation to a porno, easily makes it to normal mainstream music and radio enjoyed by kids as young as 10! The video greatly resembles the acts of a porno not to mention the content of the lyrics:
Not to say porn started the explicit lyrics and sexy music video theme of the rap culture, but if porn exist, why shouldn't this content? The issue is that this is accessible to youth, porn less so.What's interesting is that mainstream media has grown within the last 20 years in content, as the porn industry has grown in accumulating profit. With the headquarters in Los Angeles, and over 200 production companies in that general region, over 13 billion dollars is made in an annual year. By 2002, the growth of strip clubs and pornographic films grew, a revenue of 3.1 billion and revenue was added to the average compensation. So how big should we expect the porn industry to grow by 2020? Will porn literally exist everywhere and will it have a blatant impact on how we view ourselves and what's important? As for the media, the promotion style of clothing, cars, and jewlery, has switched over to women over time. Music videos and song names now resemble those of Porn films such as "We Don't love hoes" or "Two Bad Bitches". It's all revolved around portraying women as objects rather than people:
