Most strippers, prostitutes and porn actresses are adult survivors of child sexual abuse “acting out” their learned behavior from childhood. They will insist their childhood sexual abuse has nothing to do with their decision to work in the sex industry but it’s just not true. Mary Anne Layden, Ph. D., Director for Women's Psychological Health in Philadelphia states in a powerful way:
"Most strippers, as with other women who work in the sex industry, are adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Research indicates the number is between 60%-80%. One study found that 35% of strippers have Multiple Personality Disorder, 55% had Borderline Personality Disorder, and 60% had Major Depressive Episodes, These are severe psychiatric problems and many of them are connected to childhood sexual abuse. These are women who when they were little girls would get into their beds each night and roll themselves into a fetal position and every night he would come in and peel her open. The physical and visual invasion of little girl's bodies damages them psychologically and gives them a psychologically unhealthy view of sexuality. Often as adults they reenact their childhood trauma by working as strippers, Playboy models, and prostitutes. The men who, now as customers, physically and visually invade the adult women's bodies, reenact the role of the perpetrator. These women work in the sex industry because it feels like home."

. Looks like pornography was (is) an emotional topic around here -- and not just for tooblue. Funniest thing is that I didn't realize this was an old thread until I got to the summon Rosebud card. I was seriously worried about what had happened to rationality on this subject. Interesting read and incredible post SIEQ......
