There is a pattern to the posts if you read them long enough. Certain things stand out as "how could she NOT have known that?" issues that just make one shake their head. An interesting read no doubt about it, and I am sure that soon someone will end up doing their thesis about her.

Great article. Sex makes babies, but it also makes money. I think prostitution should be legalized - with conditions of course (however, then it mightn't be as exciting, since there is always an added thrill in doing things that are prohibited, either by the law or by social code). No one should be condemned or made to feel like they are a pervert just for fulfilling their sexual desires and fantasies, provided no one gets hurt in the mix. Our society objectifies women and some women fight that and other women say, "bring it on!" The latter group get just as much of a thrill from being viewed and photographed than the people who view them. It feels good to have the attention, but more importantly, it feels good to have the power to stimulate others, to arouse them. It's one realm of power where women have been able to step up to men over the course of history. And the pleasure we all get from performing/pretending/creating fantasy scenes just adds more to the pot.

The bell in the mountain.

Timid
behaviour, recalling
the sunshine of
a positive sign
that now fades
away, discover
the sadness
in a beautiful
care....

I found this article, "Why are ordinary women exposing themselves online?", by searching for "why do pretty girls appear in amateur porn videos?"

But there's a world of difference between Voyeurweb and youporn. At the latter, we find young women, not just bored housewives, displaying the most explicit sex.

What I don't understand is: What are they thinking? Are they not hurting their chances of marrying well? Are they not embarrassing (mortifying, actually) their parents? If employed, are they not risking getting fired?

Many of these young women are pretty, easily able to attract and keep a fine young man.

Why are they allowing themselves to be filmed in degrading porn films?

Somebody help me out, please. I really want to understand this.
