She has her head on straight. She knows what is going on. I look up to her so much because I believe her and I are on the same page philosophically.
There is a huge difference between a whore and a porn star. She said it right.

well, she may have said it right, but she's using semantics. Words have formal and colloquial definition. Actually, she's trying to not define terms, but change perceptions of society, which is the toughest of all tasks. Unfortunately for her, the concept of whore is subordinate to porn star. A porn star by definition is also a whore, because she accepted money for an act. Of course, one can argue the source of the renumeration, but none the less, money changed hands for a sex act. No way money would have changed hands had that not occured, hence, point of non dispute. Had there been no money changing hands, then in the strict sense she is not. Now, is it bad to be a whore? Certainly not in any absolute sense, but in the society we live, it is not looked upon favorably by many. In other parts of the world, perceptions and values are different, but I don't think you'd be able to find anywhere on this planet, a society that would respect what she does in any significant way. Yes, sometimes reality bites, but as you've said percpetions are reality. Unless you can change society's perceptions, that is the reality in which you have to exist. Denial of that counter productive.
But if you don't care what other people think of you, this all has no bearing.
Sorry - there is no book to read that I know of on this subject. :-)
did you get a chance to look for the other book recommendations? Concentrate on the messages in those books, they have much more to offer you.
Don't get upset with me, you're a work in progress!!! LOL xo
Troy - I have a case of the guilts that you may construe this not in line with my true sentiments. Please understand that I'm supporting you, and this is not in any way judgemental, or condescending. Your aces in my book, and this is meant as more an intellectual discussion, and not in any way a stab at your feelings or opinions. I was perhaps too clinical in my analysis, and don't want you to feel I was being too narrow in my interpretation. I really enjoy conversing with you and your thoughts, and don't want this to compromise our interraction.
Much love, Mark.
