This was probably in the pre-Depends era..... Trust Buster Mar 2018 #2
well, you and I and most people don't look at sex as transactional hlthe2b Mar 2018 #3
She was threatened, and that's a crime indeed. In that sense, she is a victim. IluvPitties Mar 2018 #4
Id have more respect for it if she got cash up front RhodeIslandOne Mar 2018 #6
Very possibly. Many porn stars dream of transitioning into mainstream media or Hollywood. IluvPitties Mar 2018 #12
I agree the threats are a different thing altogether RhodeIslandOne Mar 2018 #8

She's a businesswoman, and sex is her business. IluvPitties Mar 2018 #35
I appreciated her honesty emulatorloo Mar 2018 #38
There is a tendency, at least recently, to question the whole concept of consent. IluvPitties Mar 2018 #41
Yes, I know. WhiskeyGrinder Mar 2018 #42
Then listen to what shes saying and dont try to fit her into a box she explicitly rejects emulatorloo Mar 2018 #46
Interesting perspective. IluvPitties Mar 2018 #25
The way she put it was odd though treestar Mar 2018 #56
Yeah I was concerned when she said that treestar Mar 2018 #55
Right...because at no point was she ever in any danger nadine_mn Mar 2018 #11

Very independent. MaryMagdaline Mar 2018 #45
She's a survivor. DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2018 #21

Not for anyone else to judge. Sparkly Mar 2018 #48
Im not qualified to judge others like this. emulatorloo Mar 2018 #49
Not a hero, but brave? Yes. Lisa0825 Mar 2018 #50
My take is she went into this encounter with a 'Quid Pro Quo' mindset Siwsan Mar 2018 #53
That indicate low self esteem. That it was her fault as 'she put herself in this situation' and Demsrule86 Mar 2018 #54
She's brave for speaking up against NewJeffCT Mar 2018 #58
That totally grossed me out! MoonRiver Mar 2018 #59
