How on earth do you know that? If I had to guess, I'd say they probably did it FOR THE MONEY so that they could go and BUY SOME FOOD! :chef:

Some of those people are far past the point of just being "thin", and look like they're starved and near death!

I agree, I'm not one to judge what consenting adults should or should not find attractive. However, exploiting impoverished individuals in this way for the sake of corporate profits just doesn't strike me as being a just thing to do.

Who are you or I to judge what consenting adults find attractive about eachother?

Where did he say that in his post Squirt?

He said that he felt, it was in bad taste (in effect) and, i have to agree with him.

IMHO its no better than having a site promoting models with HIV/AIDs or promoting any life threatening disease in a glorified manner.

Well porn is exploitation and people who are in porn want to be seen, paid, etc. etc. People have many different reasons for wanting to be filmed on camera. Some people feel that getting paid to pose means they are beautiful and/or accepted. Saying someone is a victim because they are in porn is a bit over the top I think. My .00000002 cents

Funny. I always thought porn was a business and the people who want to be seen, paid, etc. etc. are in the business of being paid for what they want to do.

I wont deny there are definately people who do get exploited in the porn business but, for the most part, imho, those individuals are few and far between.

Well I don't think it's that bad BUT I will say that skinny guys would give me the impression of HIV. I posted that in another thread awhile back to that site owner that had a super skinny guy getting fucked.

Being super skinny doesn't mean you're diseased you know. Just like being a big guy doesn't mean your diseased or unhealthy does it?

The dictionary definition of exploitation: Utilization of another person or group for selfish purposes.

So when we are filming a person to make money on a porn site, we are exploiting them. They are also exploiting us for money, notariety, etc.

I think you might be confusing vicitimization with exploitation and I would agree with you that some people are victimized in porn, just like any other business on earth. Porn is nothing special in the arena of taking advantage of people.
