Study: Porn Stars More Religious, Have Higher Self-Esteem Than Other Women

In terms of psychological characteristics, porn actresses had higher levels of self-esteem, positive feelings, social support, sexual satisfaction, and spirituality compared to the matched group

You heard it here first.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/porn-stars-and-the-naked-truth-8348388.html

The feminist commentator Dawn Foster criticised the study: "It is dangerous to generalise about a huge industry: women who are successful and in control of their careers in one pocket don't speak for women in the less scrutinised parts. The study's main objective seems to be to prove that not all women in porn are exploited: no one has argued that. But glossing over the exploitative aspects helps no one."

If her old man owns a liquor store, I'm golden.

I'm not marrying her tho. I learned my lesson a long time ago and it cost a lot to rectify it.

Q: How do you cure a nymphomaniac

A: Marry her.

Dont' get me wrong. Your desire to see details on the study is commendable. But the feminist talking head reminds me of Rush Limbaugh.

I noted the same deficiencies in the study and am planning on supplementing the results with some additional research myself as soon as I find my favorite porn video.

It should be.
Try googling Angela Carter or Camile Paglia: there's plenty of pro porno feminists out there.

It's a pre publish abstract. The journal is only due out today. Getting online access is expensive, $36, so I'm going to read it at a library.

Incidentally, if any of you ever want to view a full article and you don't have access to online journals, try Google Scholar. You can't find everything through GS, but you can find a lot.

I thought she might have a good point, depending on how the participants were selected, but the selection process seems reputable enough to me:

Status: offline 		The only factor I think they left out that should have been included as it is very important in this case... cosmetic surgery, I would like to know the percentage of the "porn stars" that had surgery compared to the comparison group... I mean if most of the stars had surgery then that would negate the claim of "higher self-esteem" compared to the "average" woman... just saying.
