“Women in the Porn, Sex and Webcam Industry: How are They Doing?” – By Dr. Linda Hatch

Here’s a revealing article on how sadly damaged the women in pornography are.

EXCERPT:

How are the women in the online porn industry faring?

I came across some interesting data through an organization operated by former porn and sex industry workers. They report on the results of “a cross sectional study based on the California Women’s Health Survey” which compared the mental health of female adult performers with that of other young women in California.

As children:

37% women in porn had been child victims of forced sex compared to 13% of women not in porn

21% had been placed in foster care compared to 4% of women not in porn

As adults:

33% of women in porn met the criteria for depression vs. 13% of women not in porn

34% of women in porn experienced domestic violence in the past 12 months vs. 6% of women not in porn

27% of women in porn experienced forced sex as adults compared to 9% of women not in porn

50% of women in porn lived in poverty in the past 12 months vs. 36% of women not in porn.
