Pornstars are prostitutes!
Recently I was being interviewed for a North American radio show and my host asked the dreaded question, “What’s the difference between a pornstar and a prostitute.” I hesitated in giving the standard industry accepted response; that porn is not prostitution. In the past saying the wrong thing could cost me money, put me out of work or cause me to be ostracized from my peers in the jizz bizz. However, things in my career are different now. My primary markets are the Japanese, Arabic and a little bit in the United States. And I almost exclusively use Russia women now. I decided I had nothing to lose and I spoke the truth. “We are all hookers without shame. Including myself.”

I must defend my statement because there is a tendency for people to want to believe otherwise. The first argument comes from within the adult video industry itself. If you add the words “Profane” and “Cinematography together, you get the name of what we manufacture, “Pornography.” Therefore creating porn is not without it’s risks. No one should ever forget that even in areas where prostitution is legal, the government and police are never our friends. The adult industry has to argue that we are producing “art,” “entertainment,” or “it’s our freedom of speech/expression” or various other bullshit. In the United States it was about 15 years ago that making pornography could put you in jail for a very long time. In general terms this industry has enough problems without needing to say the word, “Prostitute.” And the simple truth is if we didn’t cloud the issues many of us would be un-employed or working at a McDonalds.

The second point comes from much of the “new” female porn talent. For a period of time many live in complete denial of the truth about who and what we are. James Digorgio (simplyjimmyd.com), an American pornographer and good friend of mine, explained it best about what goes on. “The jizz biz is a bit unique. And, often enough, girls show up in this business looking for something that's been missing in their lives: One of those things often seems to be a desire to feel like they belong to something... i.e., the kind of something that many people take for granted.... like a family. They also come here with stars in their eyes, hopes for a fat bank account, an eye towards having some good times.” To state in more simplistic terms, if you have fantasies about being seen as great actress and loved by many, it can be a hard slap in the face to accept the fact we, myself included, are just a common sex workers.

The last comes from porn fans themselves. People view porn in order to masturbate or to aid sexual arousal between 2 or more consenting adults. They watch us fucking and fantasize about being one of the people on the screen. Because society views prostitutes as filthy low-lifers, aspirations to be like us create cognitive dissonance. In layman’s terms; we must be something different or better than common hookers if we are something desirable, otherwise the fans would be lower on the social scale due to their desires, even if temporary, to be like us.

Now all of this might sound very negative but I have never believed prostitutes are filthy or something to be viewed with contempt. Neither will I forget that my own mother was a prostitute and she helped keep our refrigerator full and warm clothes on my body in the winter. (Remember Canada can be very cold.) As well, Veronica Hart, a porn legend and woman I continue to both respect and fantasize about, once said to me in passing conversation, “We shouldn’t let our egos get too big. Yes I’m a whore. Now where is my fucking money.” My purpose here is to be honest and to bring to light something most people won’t. My comments will not lessen or change how this industry functions, because although all pornstars are whores, not all whores are pornstars.

I should have thought about things like link backs and photos before I posted the article.

Oh well, I can always blame my wife for it. I'm the stupid on in our relationship. She does all the thinking, planning, marketing, etc. I just fuck for a living and make controversial comments that piss people off.
