Right. I agree and I'm not saying that their choice makes them bad people, and quite often, they are actually victims in it.
Some women are actually tricked, mentally, emotionally, sexually and physically bullied, abused and forced into doing it by their spouses or significant others and then are forced to keep doing it by their producers.
Many times, these producers, like pimps do with their prostitutes, get their actors hooked on drugs and for the same reason, to control them.
These same women likely started as prostitutes in the same way they got started into doing porn.
While others, choose to do so because it is a quick buck, that pays well and requires very little to no brains or skill at all.
However, regardless of the circumstances, that got them into doing porn, it is a decision that will remain with them for the rest of their lives.
These people, will have a difficult time going back to a normal life and trying to fit in with others, they will have some difficulty getting their privacy because there will always be those who'll recognize them and remind them of who they used to be and a few will want to take advantage of them because of it.
This will happen regardless of the years that have passed and whatever non-industry based achievements they've accomplished. Unfortunately, this legacy will only be passed on to their families.
This is probably why former actors end up working in the sex industry even after they've retired and aren't doing movies or appearances any more.
Nonetheless, these are all consequences of their decision, whether it was choosing to do so of their own volition, or agreeing to do whatever sexual act their spouse or significant other wanted them to.
Sadly, for many of these people, the abuse and chaos that got them into, and kept them in this lifestyle, will always be apart of their lives when they leave it. They end up going from one abuser to the next, drugs and alcohol (and sometimes legal trouble) will always be in the picture, and the destruction will always continue to be apart of their lives until they silence it all by committing suicide.
