Regulate the pornography industry.

Is any amount of  money worth your daughter’s, mothers, sister’s dignity and self respect? Their safety and health? No? So why do you think it is acceptable to watch someone elses loved one be debased?

Women in the pornography industry are brutalized, objectified and dehumanized. Pornographers prey upon the hurt the weak, the lost and destitute. The broken souls, easy to manipulate and coerce into brutish and debasing sex acts are most often given drugs to perform and keep performing. They are threatened with revocation of contracts (if even given a contract)  to remain silent to rape, physical and verbal violence that is administered constantly in and off the pornography film sets. The  pornography trade is virtual enslavement of women. Many women are unable to leave the industry as they are debilitated from the physical, mental, and emotionally destructive “work.” They either remain in the pornographic industry, perform in strip bars as well illegal prostitution, internet sex work or a combination of the lot.. Very few escape the sex trade. Many more meet a suicidal, homicidial death or die early from communicable disease (STDs, HIV) or medical ailments directly related to the abusive industry.

There are citizens of the opinion that the pornography performers are making a rational and educated choice to enter the industry. Well if this is the case it is time for government to insure the safety of the workers.

The pornography  industry is unregulated. I am taking a stance as a citizen and humanatarian to demand government action in the form of regulation and am proposing the following regulations to ensure safety, the elimination of drug use, coercion and intimidation in the production and recruitment of pornography performers.In addition the pornography trade is rife with communicable disease such as HIV,Herpes, Gonorrea and Chlymidia.Woman (and men) are plied with many street and prescription drugs to keep them working. Im positive the introduction of several regulations will cut down the number of participants entering and staying in the trade.

#1 Drug testing ,not just a urine test but a hair or fingernail test. 2 Emt required on the set. #3. A certified CalOSHA inspector on all sets. #4 All shoots must be on a certified  set location. #5 Condom use mandatory. #6 a regulatory fee of a high percentage must be paid to fund organizations such as Pinkcross, pornharms etc. #7 physical and psychological testing must be passed entering and exiting the industry. #8 medical insurance for performers.

Please join me in the effort to expose the brutality and criminality of pornography and  prevent the abuse and entry of woman and men into this horrible, inhumane  industry.

The continuing tale of “Mary”, the brutality and dehuminization of the pornography industry. part # 4

The extent of damage that has been inflicted on Mary is also of a physical nature. Mary has had several breast augmentations and the warranty has expired on the implants, her breasts are deformed, solidified, a possible  cancer risk or other health hazard as the implants can leak or burst. She was forced in the past to have these augmentations in order to work in the industry. Mary also was coerced to receive steroid injections directly into  her vaginal area or clitoris, enlarging her clitoris abnormally. She revealed to me that her ex-husband had been the source of the coercion, scheming on ways to make Mary more desirable to consumers of pornography. Mary also was introduced to Clenbutal in order for her to remain at a contracted weight. Mary ingests a deadly concoction of Valium, alcohol and Clenbutal or other methamphetamine to keep working an exhaustive schedule of internet pornography, strip bars and internet prostitution, often until the results are complete exhaustion., seclusion and hospitalization.

Mary often expressed her fear of  cancer or related diseases from her long time ingestion of steroids yet her indoctrination in pornography and subsequent psychological acceptance of this treatment and behavior leads her to want larger breasts. I often explain to Mary, that she is beautiful without the augmentations, without Botox or other superficial enhancements. However her self-esteem is so low and the indoctrination of what is required to be desirable so complete, she rejects this opinion, stating, “I need big breasts, it is who I am. It makes me feel good.”   Please click the links to read the beginning of this sad but necessary blog. To be continued…

Pornography the ugly truth.

Pornography the ugly truth!

Pornography destroys, corrupts and is a detriment to society. There was a time in my life I never gave a thought as to the results of pornography on our children, myself, and especially the women involved in this brutal trade. Trade? Yes pornography is a trade and what is traded is morality and humanity for money. `

While on active duty in the US Army I began watching pornography on a regular basis. The debasing and objectification of women corrupted my relationship with women, therefore I subconsciously viewed women as disposable and without compassion. I wasted and ruined one marriage and many relationships as a result of this subconscious and conscious reenforcement of questionable sex acts and outright brutality. It took many years of therapy to overcome this acceptance that pornography does no harm to anyone, especially myself.

Furthermore as my daughter was born 13 years ago, I asked myself would I want my daughter involved in pornography? Is it ok for her to watch pornography? of course the answer is a resounding , NO! Did you know national statistics reveal that 75% of 12 year olds have viewed pornography and 55% view pornography on a regular basis.

This could have been the end of my little rant on pornography and it s harmful effects on society but I had the uncanny chance of not only meeting but dating an infamous adult actress and entertainer. The following is a condensed synapses of my experience with her, it has left me broken in my heart as to the brutality of this ugly business and a desire to express to the world the human toll of the pornography trade.

For the past 6 months I have been caring for an increasingly disabled woman. I will refer to her as “Mary.”
She has become disabled physically as well as mentally due to her involvement in the pornographic industry as well as various abusive acts.
Having befriended Mary, I have become aware  of  the horrific virtual enslavement of women in sex trade. Control of these girls/women  is achieved  through drugs, physical  and mental abuse.

Mary has been mentally  abused and raped from an early age of 12 yrs  old and by the time she became 18 she was involved in pornography & prostitution.

Much as a race horse is used to make profit for owners, Mary has been used to make pornographers and associated  profit.
Mary has been fed a steady diet of street drugs, alcohol & prescription anti depressant to keep her working in pornography/sex industry.
Mary has suffered  /survived brutal attacks, robbery rapes, despicable acts of abuse by men. Mary has been swindled out of all the money she made by a thug/pimp of an ex husband.
Now  @ the end of her usefulness to pornographers, lawyers and associated predatory industry people,

Mary’s  only source of income is to work as a “Web Cam” model performing sex shows to perverts on the internet and prostitution.
The constant fear of being beat or murdered on a call, the  physical & mental abuse has left Mary a paranoid, depressed,alcoholic  woman.

Mary has a plethora of serious disorders and maladies, among them severe gastro- intestinities that causes hemorrhage, a rare eye disorder, vertigo, nausea, intense migraine and spinal  problem.

Mary’s alcohol dependency is so severe that she has a physical dependency that requires a monitored medical  detoxification.

Mary uses daily a cocktail of  alcohol and prescribed drugs such as Vallum & Pristique to allow her to “work”

This work mentally dehabilitates Mary more and more as the customers verbally insult & demean her which reinforces a destructive cycle of increased alcohol & prescribed drug  use.

Mary is often   unable to distinguish reality from fantasy. She watches conspiracy and end of the world programs virtually from the second she wakes until she sleeps with the programs running in a que  sub consciously reinforcing  a negative, harmful  fearful attitude.

Mary is  mentally and physically  unable to perform daily chores such a laundry, cleaning, driving, shopping and cooking.
There are times that she is so severely depressed she will not leave the house for weeks,  get out of bed or even  shower.

I have been increasingly caring for Mary.
First of all I have been paying Mary’s rent and utilities, this allows Mary not to “work” at the webcamera.
Moreover my presence gives her a connection to reality and a loving, caring person. This care has a positive effect on Mary’s general well being. Her attitude improves greatly as well as mental state.
The more contact I have with Mary the more her mental state improves. My presence keeps her from “working webcam” I am able to administer positive reinforcement  therapy and genuine care to Mary.

You see Mary wishes to get out of this sordid trade. She has attempted in the past to break out of the vicious cycle but has been forced by necessity or coercion of unscrupulous porn associated lawyers.

Being a certified  first responder, I recognize the severe and urgent need to get not only medical help for Mary but compassionate humane interaction.
I have had to monitor Mary often as her gastro problem causes her to vomit and defecate blood indicating severe dangerous hemorrhage. She becomes incapacitated often fainting or collapsing. I have had to carry her to bed and monitor her vitals

Mary is a very intelligent, beautiful, compassionate woman. She has a soul and a heart it has been suppressed and virtually held captive by the sex trade. She has a 12 year old daughter who she cares for with out support from an abusive negligent ex husband.
It is my opinion that Mary is in danger of an accidental overdose and death.
I am asking for your assistance in any capacity to help allow Mary happiness, health and freedom from sex business.
She desperately  needs compassion, understanding, medical attention.
I have been trying to get Mary to apply for SSI and /or State Disability however she has been denied.

I saw a glimpse of the beautiful person Mary is when lucid and able to express her feelings and desires but she needs so much more help than I’m able to give her. to be continued…

If you wish to help Mary and others that have suffered/suffering at the hands of this destructive, inhumane, business I have provide a few links below or wish to continue to read about Mary and myself.
