I think most webcam porn is improvisational anyway.
No one’s had hair below the neck in porn for a decade.
(I actually listened to a conversation between two young Home Depot guys, one of whom was ditching his GF because she didn’t completely shave… ewww, yuck!)
You’re drawing a line where none exists. The Dogme 95 movement required actors to actually be performing any activity in which they were portrayed, but none of the 33 certified films risked XXX (as far as I know) by including scenes that would merit that rating. Porn films do, but in that respect they differ from Dogme 95 rules only in scripted scene selection.
There is no evidence that actors in porn films possess lower personal standards of character or reputation than those in films distributed by Disney. Actors are actors, and many accept whatever work is available, and do not necessarily agree that sex-for-money is inherently immoral. I’ve never heard of a porn film producer being criminally charged for that reason alone (sex for money), so its illegality is rather paper-thin.
Your second paragraph is perfectly true, but being a sex worker is far from the only behavior or reputation an employer can find to “reflect badly” on the company. The same repercussions could apply to a topless dancer, and probably does, regardless of its morality or legality.
A junior high school principal (vice principal?) was fired in the last few years after it was discovered he had a completely legitimate porn film career. He’d been careful to firewall the two jobs, but it wasn’t good enough for the school board.
Someone made porn, big deal. But the most lucrative channel on youtube is just videos of someone unwrapping children’s toys; I find this utterly weird.
Robot Arm:
Believe it. My toddler loves Peppa Pig, and watches it on YouTube, and clicked on a link for someone unwrapping Peppa Pig toys (incidentally, I doubt it’s the one linked to in this thread, I recall a male voice). Toddlers love repetition, so she watched it over and over.
Like it or not, being known as a sex worker can have serious professional and social consequences.
I once heard someone ask Howard Stern(!) how he would feel if his daughters became strippers (or perhaps it was porn actresses) and he said “I would feel that I failed as a father”. Whether he’s being inconsistent or not is a separate discussion, but the point is that the attitude exists, and if you’re harmed by it it’s of little comfort to know that some of those who look down on you are being inconsistent.
And even if her professional and social situation now is such that it would have no impact, there’s no way to know how that might change over time.
I guess. As I said, I’m out of touch. If one of my employees did this, there would be no repercussions.
Well, sure. You can tell by all the "yes, and"s.
Oh come on!
You would insist for a video to be added to her resume’.
:dubious:
If she has any real concerns about being recognized but still would like to pursue this “second job,” I would suggest doing it wearing a latex mask. Plenty of people find them a turn on.
You know, I picked up a copy of Hustler one day (Pre internet days). One of the ladies in there happened to be from the city I lived in.
Anyway, some days later I went to a bar… I’m like 99% sure, the girl tending bar was the same girl I saw in the mag.
I even showed the mag to a couple of friends to confirm: “This is her, right?” To which, they were basically like: “Shit! I think it is!”.
As sure as we all were, not a single one of us had the balls to actually ask her “Hey, did you do a layout in Hustler?”
Because man, if you’re wrong, that would be really awkward. Hell, it would be awkward even if you were right.
I gotta believe that same psychology would work out in the OP’s friend’s situation.
Except it’s now the Internet age. All it takes is one noxious neckbeard deciding that The Slut Must Be Shamed and she’ll get exposed anonymously with copy sent to her boss, neighbors and other customers.
I was going to suggest heavy, supermodel-style cosmetics.
The chance of recognition probably grows exponentially with “Number of Hits” on both day job and porn performances.
As stated by everybody: if her day job would vanish if the connection is made, she, at the least, needs to look and act entirely differently in the two jobs.
Or make damned sure the web cam makes enough money for simply forever, so the day job can be ditched.
Beware the Scott Adams/Dilbert trap!
Right. So your point about the person being an actor is entirely irrelevant.
Ok I’ll play. Is it the spread open vagina?
This is really the core of this whole issue. All it takes is one. If wives or SO’s get wind of the fact that there is a woman who was able and willing to trade her sexuality for money at some point in the past working in the same space as their man all rationality flies out the window.
If it’s a choice of an unhappy wife or a fired admin away the admin will go.
I’ve known some porn stars, and none of them could keep straight jobs for long, unless they were related in some way to porn or the sex business. Eventually, someone recognized them, and there are few people who can watch a Porno and say “Isn’t that Shirley from accounting which those three gentleman?” and not mention it to anyone.
I interviewed at Playboy, and every single person I met at the company was a woman. Apparently, it’s nearly impossible for them to hire men due to the jealous spouse issue.
Hasn’t anyone on this thread uploaded a large photo collection to Google Photos and let it do its image recognition thing? I’m sure their is someone collecting webcam videos, performing multiple frame image interpolation to produce a higher resolution image, and performing facial recognition on them. It will be sold as a tool for a social network like Facebook, so you can upload a picture of your long lost friend from 5th grade and find her even though she’s changed her name twice, but it’s going to be the ultimate stalker tool. And employers are going to use it in the way that some are demanding the passwords to your social networks.
