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 story of Mary and I, the dehumanization and brutality of the pornography industry part #6

Perhaps you noticed I’ve  added an I  to the blog title. Reason being I don’t wish to tell Mary’s story but rather my experience, thoughts and mostly to expose the myth and/or perception that pornography does not harm people. With considerable thought  about writing this blog  I have changed the names, disguised or been vague as to locations etc, to protect the  identities of those involved. Individuals involved in pornography are not nice, kind or humane.  Selling humans, however one wishes to cloak it, is a horrible endeavour, where souls are bartered away, spirits broken, families destroyed, and people corrupted (society). Participants in the pornography trade often are so brutalized, abused and controlled, they end up committing suicide, murdered or unable to care for themselves and institutionalized.

Mary is no run of the mill pornography entertainer. Unlike most of the women involved in this sordid business, Mary has had a very long tenure in pornography.  Mary  had made herself and others millions of dollars as she is extremely business savvy and professional in her business dealings. However as I”ve written prior, this money was  evaporated by high style living, law suits, an abusive,controlling, dolt of a husband, assorted cronies and hangers-on.

Most like other woman working in pornography Mary justified the butalization and selling of her body (and dignity) as a legitimate trade-off for material wealth. Exclaiming,  “It’s  business.” Mary would explain to me, describing her disdain for men and women (assuming she did anything for free or actually enjoyed the work.) that approach her for casual consensual sex.

I never asked Mary about the pornography business, not wanting to appear as a fan or as she calles them pervs. She would engage the conversation and I would listen with a sympathetic ear, offering  advice and urging her to enter psycological therapy and a detox clinic. She refused in denial of her illness and unwilling to face her fear of leaving pornography/prostitution. She would often breakdown crying, explaining in horrific detail the ugly details of making pornographic movies, her shame, guilt, utter self loathing, feelings of worthlessness, the fear and brutality of the self degrading acts, as well as the methods of control used by producers of pornography. “The producers would give us booze, plates of coke or meth. It was the only way I could do the scene, to get numb. I feel like an animal.Early on that creep JP, made me say I enjoy the business or I would get beat and my contract revoked. He got me in the busineses before I turned 18. They got me hooked on coke and booze.” Mary confessed to me to sobbing. The only way I could console her was to brush her hair and stroke her forehead. Mary would barricade herself in doors,  consuming massive quantities of alcohol and Valium. The room is entirely blacked out except for candles for light. Mary suffered brutal beatings and several kidnappings being held hostage. Mary’s fear is palpabable .I became terrified she would OD and kept a vigilant watch monitoring her vitals constantly. I could not get her to stop drinking.

By the time I became involved with her,  Mary  had stopped making pornographic video but continued with webcamming and prostitution. Mary denied the prostitution. However it was blatantly obvious as she advertises.  Mary desperately wished for a legitimate relationship with me as well as a career  in mainstream entertainment. The likes of Tracy Lords. ”I just want you to love me. Ok can you do that?” she asked softly. I do love her unconditionally and I  supported her without question, I knew from the beginning of this relationship I was getting involved with a pornographic entertainer, with many problems, who is asking for help on finding a way out. I thought I could handle the task. I had no idea the extent or depth of the brutality, abuse, criminality and illness  intertwined  in her life.

Mary suffering from admitted and diagnosed bio-polar disorder, (  I also suspected a schizoid effective symptoms) became infuriated when I questioned her as to what she was doing, leaving home on the spur of the moment.   ”You ask to many questions. Just drop me off at the airport.” Mary complained. “I work for the government catching child molesters.” You know I’m qualified to do this.”  Mary would also tell me she was a profiler, that  she was working for a government agency spotting potential terrorists.  Mary has weapons permits and training in undercover work having showed me her certificates. She also has many affiliations with politicos and ex military personnel. Therefore anything she said became plausible as I desperately wished to believe in Mary. to be continued….  to read the beginning of this blog  http://gerilewis.wordpress.com/2011/10/25/the-continuing-tale-of-mary-the-brutality-and-dehuminization-of-the-pornography-industry-part-4/

The continuing story of Mary, the dehumanization and brutality of the pornography industry part #5

I love her completely. Without reservation and unconditionally. So begins my road to complete and utter heartbreak. The moon and stars shine brightly and the traffic whooshes by on the I-15 as I urinate in the brisk desert night, diverting my attention.  Zipping my fly, I catch my penis in the zipper cursing under my breath at the sudden burst of pain. I have left my night job in  Los Angeles without hesitation or after thought.  Mary hysterically crying, informs me that an internet  webcam (customer) pervert has called her a whore,  is  stalking her and will kill her tonight. She also sobs, “The doctor I was dating before you is trying to murder me. He put a Barbie Doll with black hair and a knife in it under my bed when I was out. “ I try to calm Mary however no words will sooth or alleviate her concern. Wondering, “Is she delusional?” But also knowing that her infamy has attracted stalkers in the past, I’m in a state of despair as well. I only wish to save Mary from this life of  horror. This is my mission. I remember the soldiers Code of Conduct (article 1) from  my military service, second stanza  I am prepared to give my life in their defense. I am also reminded of John 15:13   Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
