Should it be against the law for drug addicts to be porn stars?

[Anonymous]

When I say porn star, I mean the ones who have sex with others on camera just to make money. Im not talking about the ones who do solo work or cam modeling. I don’t think they can fully consent to sex with another person because they usually do it for money or housing. If they weren’t drug addicts, there is a huge chance they wouldn’t be doing porn for easy money or sleeping with guys just to get something out of it.

The problem is that you'd be asking a movie production company to somehow try to enforce this. Even if they did drug testing, you couldn't test for everything, and and this would hardly prevent people from going into sex work for cash for drugs - they'd just become prostitutes or strippers or something else.

in my opinion, it's not a production company's job to deal with this - and where would it end? If you did drug testing at YOUR job - whatever it is - you'd probably lose 30% of your coworkers.

I'm not at all pro-drug - I barely use over-the-counter drugs like Tylenol or Advil, much less illegal drugs - but I also don't think we want or need companies getting involved in people's lives to that extent. It's a burden for the company, and it's a dangerous to have companies have this personal information about you, because it's a slippery slope. Look at how "two weeks to slow the spread" became "18 months of lock-down, wear a mask everywhere, mandatory multiple dose vaccines (with ever-increasing "boosters"), and vaccine passports. There's already been efforts to force other medical information onto your "passport." Do you want to walk around showing the guy at the movie theater or the girl at Starbucks your STD history - because don't think there aren't already plans for that!

Even under the influence, it's still a choice they make. Just the the addiction is a choice they make. If you made one illegal, then the drugs should also be, which a lot are, but just saying. The drugs are the main problem that should be dealt with, the "other" things that might come with/from it will fix itself.

The porn industry is honestly so fucked up, it needs way more laws to protect the performers.

A lot of "gonzo" porn sets even offer drugs right there on set so that the performers can endure more extreme and painful acts so that the company can cash in on people's morbid curiosity and get those shock clicks.

Some of the girls in porn wanted to be actresses. They were never "discovered" and stared working porn because it was easy work and paid good. What's the difference if the also take drugs? There are a lot of people taking illegal drugs. They are in just about every occupation. Why limit it to porn stars. Test doctors, lawyers, truck drivers, law enforcement, teachers. It makes more sense to test them as other people's lives are affected by them.

It's ageist the law to take drugs anyway. So it already is.

Addicts should not lose their freedom to earn a living.

No more so than it is for regular actors.

What next b then? No sex addicts, no women with daddy issues. How are you supposed to have a porn industry with no damaged women?

People get it hun. But people here obviously feel that even addicts should be held accountable for their own lives.
