Topic: Damaged Goods hypothesis is false: porn actresses had higher levels of self-esteem, social support
Anonymous A started this discussion 14 years ago#23,681
The damaged goods hypothesis posits that female performers in the adult entertainment industry have higher rates of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), psychological problems, and drug use compared to the typical woman. The present study compared the self-reports of 177 porn actresses to a sample of women matched on age, ethnicity, and marital status. Comparisons were conducted on sexual behaviors and attitudes, self-esteem, quality of life, and drug use. Porn actresses were more likely to identify as bisexual, first had sex at an earlier age, had more sexual partners, were more concerned about contracting a sexually transmitted disease (STD), and enjoyed sex more than the matched sample, although there were no differences in incidence of CSA. In terms of psychological characteristics, porn actresses had higher levels of self-esteem, positive feelings, social support, sexual satisfaction, and spirituality compared to the matched group. Last, female performers were more likely to have ever used 10 different types of drugs compared to the comparison group. A discriminant function analysis was able to correctly classify 83% of the participants concerning whether they were a porn actress or member of the matched sample. These findings did not provide support for the damaged goods hypothesis.
So Anon A does this mean you will attempt a relationship with a porn star? Will you end up her 434th partner?

I didn't even think of the damage goods issue. A pro porn star would be more like a used taxi.
It will get you were you're going but its still a worn out used taxi cab.

See the deal is I do look at a mirror every day when shaving. Yet my inner self feels as young our younger then 20% of my age. I know that's not going to go on forever.
Ski season is just about ready for my body and that will be my yearly test. Running my 10 Miles daily is a good measure, but I am not taking it to the limit daily.
Swing dancing does take me to the limits based on not sitting down once for a 45 minute set and going for 3 sets without missing a beat. The real test will be 6 hours doing dem bumps on the slopes aka Moguls.
No I do not do Moguls day after day for 6 hours. One day of nada but, and the rest mostly black runs unless I am with friends that cannot do the blacks.
tl;dr I feel and operate so much younger and so far no body part lets me down.

Reporting a false report is not a reportable report.
Reported for reporting a valid report report.
