But you seem to be insisting that being paid for sex is somehow different because there is a camera involved. It isn't.

Fucking for pay is fucking for pay. Sex-workers are sex-workers.

Because the term whore (meaning someone who takes money for sex) has a big negative connotations in many peoples' minds you think we should use euphemisms for other types of sex work. Bollocks, I say. Why not allow prostitutes the same respect you allow porn performers - why not paint all sex-workers with the same positive brush?

I bet you are one of those people who think there is a difference between 'call girls' and 'streetwalkers', between male 'escorts' and 'rent boys'. There isn't - only the market place differs - the goods are the same. If you buy flowers at a florist, from a street seller or from a flower market you still have flowers.

If you want to fully legitimise any and all forms of the sex industry then you're only harming your attempts by refusing to accept there's a perfectly understandable, perfectly harmless, perfectly sensible differentiation between being paid to engage in a sexual act to make a porno, and being paid to engage in a sexual act with and by a client. It's a production vs. service thing, and I don't see why it's a point of note in the slightest. I mean off the top of my head I can think of plenty of stupid examples of grey areas, but it's just down that road of deconstruction, which is completely pointless.

Long story short, OP there is no reason to feel bad about doing something like that, it's just you might well have to deal with people's negative views on the matter.

All of us at whom you are bibbling have also said there is no reason to feel bad about making a porno. I don't believe there is any inherent reason to feel bad about taking money from someone in exchange for sex acts. I just know it isn't for me.

The OP asked would it make her a whore. The answer is yes. How she feels about being a whore is entirely her own thing.

ETA: How I feel about her (potentially) being a whore is really of no importance. If she were someone close to me I would want her to feel confident in her decisions and not shamed by it. The people who can work in the sex industry and genuinely not allow the unfair negative stigma to effect their self-esteem at all are few and far between. Those who are totally ruined by it are also not the majority. In my limited experience most people with whom I have discussed working as sex-workers find a balance. And the first step on that road to balance is recognising that receiving material gain in exchange for sex acts is prostitution.

Good gosh, I have a problem just posting my face here! I couldn't imagine being filmed doing THAT! LOL! My husband teases me a lot about just taking a picture of me in the tub or getting dresses. No freaking way! If it's digital it'll end up somewhere. I foolishly sent him a pic by phone to his phone. I was freaked out when I saw it on his computer! I didn't know you could send it from a phone to a computer then. So that ended that.

I have nothing against prostitution if the woman freely chooses that line of work. It's not that much of a stretch from modeling to sex worker, in my mind. And I mean legal sex worker like in Nevada. Puritan politics injecting a distinct brand of morality into society.

I'm about 99% certain she was asking about the implications of the label, not the basic definition, which seems such a pointless thing to bring up. I mean, getting paid for having sex will involve getting paid for having sex? Well, I never.

so how many girls out there would be in a porn if you were offered a job? dose it make you a whore getting paid for sex? or is it ok because its a job with a company?? HELP!! need some input please


if i was offered i would say no. but, i'm shy and would be no good at it. yeah, i guess it would make you a whore/prostitute if you were getting paid, but, as mentioned, it's the definition of the word. but, i think if you have the personality for this and, yes i do think of it as a job with a company.........go for it.

with attitudes toward sex in this country allot of people are considered whores. there are some narrow minded people.

Like the rest of the girls here, I wouldn't take that job if offered to me, not that I have anything against prostitution or pornography, it just not for me. I hope that answered the first part of your question.

The second part (I am assuming you still talking about porn), does it make me a whore getting paid for sex, well it depends on if you are a hooker or an actress. A hooker get laid for someone's sexual pleasure and get paid for it, yes she is a whore.

A porn actress get paid by a company for audience sexual pleasure and not for the guy she is doing it with, does that make her a whore?. Well it depends on if you are Sharon Stone showing your pussy to the whole world or an unknown porn actress. Both show their bodies, nether regions and do sexual acts with other actors in front of cameras, both get paid for it (one get paid millions), yet one get labeled a heroine and one a whore.

In my opinion, much like a prostitute, you are still being paid for sex. So, yes - that would make you a 'whore' (in the prostitute sense of the word). I don't think there is necessarily anything wrong with being a 'whore', it comes down to how you feel about yourself and your role in society. But, expect to be called as such. The main difference between porn and street-prostitution is, of course, the healthier nature of what you're doing. Porn-performers generally live a much cleaner (and safer) life. Essentially though, you are still having sex for money. The camera makes little difference and doesn't alter that fact. I'm not a woman, but would I star in a porn film, amateur or otherwise? Probably not, but I have uploaded naked pictures/video of myself to the internet - perhaps that makes me a 'whore'. In short, anyone considering such a career path should judge for themselves whether or not it feels right, and if not - don't do it.

I don't think I would ever do it personally but if someone else wanted to it's not illeagle or anything. I still think it really does make you kind of a whore though. It just does.

Does that mean Hollywood actors/actresses are also "whores" because they do sex scenes?

I have the fantasy of being in a porno movie, and have had for some time. Something really taboo and wild, like an orgy or something. The problem is, with the way most of society views such things, and with the way technology is today, you will be labeled for life...not so much as a "whore" or "prostitute" but as someone who made pornos...for better or for worse. With what I currently do and with all I still want to accomplish, I know this would hinder my progress greatly. I actually am quite amazed and even jealous that some people have the exhibitionist courage and "don't give a fuck attitude" to put themselves out there like that. Which is probably stupid because most are probably just desperate for money, have zero other skills, or simply are "stupid fucks"...most that is, not ALL.

As far as it calling porno actors "whores" and "prostitutes" I disagree. Those terms while invariably will be used to describe them in a negative connotation, is a rush to judgment. The fact that in porn the focus is on the "production" for the viewer, not the participants, is the distinction. It's entertainment, where many other people, including the participants, are involved to create the "final product".

I am not putting the porno industry or it's actors on a "pedestal" I just don't think the two are the same. Now of course it's not black and white, and I am sure there are "whores" and "prostitutes" who participate in porno and porno actors who participate in "whoring". But in and of themselves, they are not the same. For example is there a difference between posing for playboy so the whole world can masturbate to you or going over a dudes house to get naked for money so he can masturbate to you?

exactly my point. In the movie "Brown Bunny" Chloë Sevigny sucks Vincent Gallo's cock to orgasm. Not "hollywood" style either, close shot porno style. IS she now considered a "whore"? No, not at all, quite the opposite. She is one Hollywood's most daring actresses to make such a bold creative decision.

Perhaps I'm getting mixed-up, but I believe most people actually compared that scene to pornography and didn't think it had a place in cinema. Regardless, that's different. She didn't become an actress to have sex, she became an actress to act. Anyone participating in porn chose to have sex on camera from the start.

Ok, so they compared it to pornography..so what? Maybe it was, the question is whether she is a whore for performing the scene. Whether or not it has a place in "cinema" is completely subjective. Also, some porn actresses, believe it or not, get into to porn to become something legitimate later. Is it the best route to take? Probably not, but it's worked for a select few. Look at Sasha Gray. Now she might be called a super whore by some or the best fuckin' porno actress that ever lived, by others.

I just think it's a sweeping generalization to say if you are in a sex scene on film, you are from then on a "prostitute" or "whore". And like another poster said, not because of the actual dictionary definition of the words, but the derogatory connotation associated with them.

As I said, it's different in the case of an actress or actor. (Yes, some would say that a 'pornstar' is also an actor but when I say it, I'm referring to mainstream actors/actresses.) Sex can be artistic, yes - no doubt about it. I wouldn't call her a whore for that scene. I wouldn't like to call anyone a 'whore', really. However, if the whole film was sex-scene after sex-scene, it becomes something different - porn. In that case, she would become a whore or prostitute, strictly in a straight-forward, dictionary sense; selling her body and sexuality to the men and women at home. When I speak about people being 'whores' - I am referring to porn and the people performing for the camera - not a sex-scene in a mostly non-sexual film. There are, as with most things, shades of grey to consider - nothing is black and white. As people they may not be 'whores' (not that there's anything wrong with being a whore to begin with), but their occupation is glorified prostitution (which, again - I have no real problem with). As I said, it's about the individual and how they feel. People are going to judge either way. If people opened-up their minds and rejected the derogatory connations to begin with, things would be far better and we wouldn't be having this conversation.
