Most of you that follow me on Twitter or have spoken with me, or heard me speak on radio interviews, know my stance on who should be in adult entertainment. I believe that adult entertainment should be done by adults, for adults, with extra care devoted to lessen the exposure to minors.

I’ve been asked by people if I would mentor teens. I will not.

I’ve been asked by people if I would mentor moms. I will not.

I’m 36 years old. I’ve been in the adult entertainment business for about 2 years now. I’ve graduated college with good grades. I’ve held jobs that were nothing close to what I do now. I also don’t have any children, and I don’t date people with children. I just don’t want to be held responsible for the corruption of innocents. It’s how I feel, and it’s  something I believe strongly in.

That’s why it particularly bothers me when I see articles like this one by Darklady, who reported on YNOT.com about the recent raid of the G Media offices in Melbourne. It’s reprehensible that a company, any company, would deliberately go out of their way to hire underage, corruptible girls to perform in their videos. As Darklady mentions in her article,

Former model Liandra Dahl is said to have claimed G Media used cash payments in order to woo teenagers into performing sex acts that are illegal when in the presence of a camera.

“It is utterly unethical to mislead very young people into choices that could affect their entire life,” Dahl lectured.

This is the very reason why I don’t mentor teens or mothers. I just don’t think that minors should be exposed to certain things until they are of the age to make those decisions with an intellectual, logical mind – one that understands all the possible ramifications of being an adult entertainer in a society that has strong negative social mores against that sort of work. And mothers have an obligation to be a role model for their children.

This isn’t Italy, where a pornstar can run – and win – a seat in government. And although we have things like the Stormy Daniels for Senate campaign in Louisiana, it’s really not going to be changing ideas in middle America. If you’re an adult entertainer, the common perception is that you weren’t smart enough to do anything else but sell your body. You’re a bubble-headed bimbo that uses her body to make her living. And if she’s loose enough to do that, then she also must be so horrible that you can’t hire her in your office.

That’s the perception. It’s a misconception for some (yours truly trying to show the exception to the norm).

So why convince girls who are just starting their independent lives for the first time that adult entertainment is the way to go? Or, if doing so, why are companies neglecting to at least say, “Hey. You’re pretty, you’re sexy. But maybe you want to consider all your options first.” You’re just not finding companies doing that, because they know there is a demand for teen talent and the bottom line comes first.

“Saved by the Bell,” “90210,” and countless other mainstream television and film projects use non-minors in minor positions. Why not do the same for adult talent? Many of those actors were in their 30s, you know.

I know a lot of people don’t agree with my values, and that’s ok. I would never consider myself a role model for the young. I do consider myself a role model (or at least try to) for intelligent adult women who have a healthy sexual identity. You’re just not going to see me taking on any teen talent or mothers under my wing. They’ve got far more important things to do right now. Come back and see me once you’re not in a position to influence the easily influenced, or be influenced easily yourself, have graduated college and worked a few jobs, and you STILL want to consider a hobby in the adult industry. I’ll still ask you a barrage of questions before you start though.
