And I've dated people who work (on the periphery) in the sex industry.
My interest is a little more academic than I think yours, and I think it gives me a more detachment. It also sort of ruins any mystery that might exist. My ex- used to say after watching something like 1000 hours of porn in a month, he's totally desensitized to it. Plus, he knows what goes on in the background.
I guess sometimes it's better not to go behind the curtain.
BTW, this is a blog of a stripper from New Orleans. Obviously, the last few weeks aren't that great to read about, but she's quite fascinating to read.

Today's Sign of the Apocalypse:
FWIW, the LA Times' resident smartass Joel Stein wrote an article
Sunday (Reg. requ'd) about the premiere of the new porn film, "Pirates" at Hollywood's Egyptian Theater. As Stein observed, "The movie was a lot like "Pirates of the Caribbean," but answered a lot of questions that the Johnny Depp film left unanswered, such as, "What does it look like when two girl pirates have sex with one boy pirate?".
Apparently, this was a breakthrough in the porn industry, as public premieres aren't often done, even in the soulless hellhole known as West Hollywood. Turns out that most of the audience got bored with the cinematography, plot, acting, or who knows what about 30 mins in.
