Actually Lee... now that I think about this....

I was in straight porn really early on in this game. I have run into FAR more prejudice for being a straight pornographer than I ever have for doing gay porn.

I have had otherwise reputable business people rip me off, overcharge me, and treat me really badly --- and it always felt like there was an attitude behind it of "Its okay to screw her over because she is just a pornographer / slut etc.... and those kind of women are bad and deserve it" Also... in some cases, this bad attitude arose only AFTER my gender was discovered.

Strangely enough... this nastiness usually came from OTHER people who were also making thier money on porn (though sometimes in denial about it... example, some of the billing processors, folks from the card companies, someone who owned dating sites etc....)

In the "gay scene" - I haven't seen a lot of this nastiness. The gay world is far more sex positive than the straight world, and this includes the webmasters. In the "straight" world, I have seen models called whores - to thier faces, I have heard the crews talking about "this slag, that slut, this bitch...." - I have NEVER heard a gay webmaster denegrating his/her models.

Just food for thought... and why I will NEVER do straight porn again.
