It may make no difference to you but the OP is not talking about someone acting in an adult movie. The person he is talking about is thinking of going into cam model work.

The whole reason that Playboy made such a big splash when it came out was that it wasn’t just another nudie mag. It was a lifestyle publication that espoused living the good life, which included good literature, politics, and the benefits of the sexual revolution. It was culturally influential—or at least far more relevant than just a porn publication—for a few decades.
I was replying directly to usedtobe’s contention that the folks appearing on-screen in porn films were somehow not actors. Which as you say is/was a mild hijack of the OP’s topic about live cam workers.
Humor-It is a difficult concept.
Being an actor and being a sex worker are not mutually exclusive.

It’s not like an actor who performs an on-screen murder, where the entire murder is simulated.
As I said in my first post on point. Porn actors do their own stunts.
With all the risks, both physical and reputational, appurtenant thereunto.
