(115,186 posts)Even if she's not forced to gag, the way the actors often talk to the women in porn is often sickening in and of itself.
And even if the porn looks nice and friendly, there's no guarantee that the woman is being protected. There are regulations but just as with other extremely profitable industries, they are pretty much window dressing.
At least in some rare cases someone notices and actually gives a crap, and people are punished. Those are in the very rare cases though of course. Such as if the woman is actually mentally disabled and brutally tortured for years.
Otherwise? Pfft. Most people just fall back on 'well you signed a contract' and seem to believe that makes anything pornographers put a person through is awesome.
IMO due to the way the industry is run, the way society conditions women, and the way the women are ignored after they exit the industry or if they ever criticize it while still in it... porn is hate propaganda against women.
