    It really depends on the women. Sadly, many of them do it only for the money - they start stripping because they have no money, then for some it's only a short jump to prostitution, which pays more, and then from there it's only a short jump to porn; these are the girls I feel truly sorry for. However, it would be a mistake to consider that all women in porn are like this. There are some women who are financially well off and have other careers who leave this careers to become porn stars - I cannot see that they are doing this for the money, as porn is notoriously unreliable as a job; people have a desire for fresh flesh. Some women genuinely enjoy sex like this and having people watch them, as can be seen by the many sites on the internet owned and run by the very women who are featured on the site. These would be the main reasons, but I'm sure a few get into it for other reasons, such as to show an ex that she wasn't such a prude after all, or as an act of rebellion against her parents; there are so many possible reasons. Not all are good, but not all are bad, either.

    And the above answer, regarding drugs and kidnapping of girls, would seem to be talking about the underground sex trade where girls are prostituted on the street; most women in porn are not involved due to this; the girls in the sex trade are helpless because they have no-one to talk to apart from their 'clients' and pimps. Porn stars have far more exposure and have actual fans, so it would be harder to force them to do it through kidnapping them. I appreciate that the underground sex industry is widespread and despicable, but I think porn may be a scapegoat in the above answer.

    • Nobody starts out in porn movies. It's ALWAYS a "gateway" activity like prostitution or stripping.

    • The real statistics behind porn, point to the fact that women in porn and the skin trade have been sexually abused. Porn is just a continuation of this. Check out www.nostatusquo.com/ACLU/dworkin/otherordinance/newday/QNA1.htm
