Especially when it's really abundantly clear from the many ex-porn stars who speak out about it, that being involved in making porn is NOT a happy situation for anyone to be in, they just act like it is while they're still "in the business". I'd worry that her seeming so "happy" to be where she is might urge easily-influenced, unhappy young people to think that making money by selling themselves and spending it on enhancement surgeries is a route to happiness.

Agree with this but it can also be said of the more successful actresses. There are loads of interviews available with the top level stars and few come across as unhappy. There are levels to the sex industry and she is about as well known as any UK porn star but I agree at a lower level exploitation is a huge problem.

...it is something I can feel quite conflicted about, Girth...because of the exploitation obviously...but that doesn’t mean it can’t be a perfect choice for some and I’m all power to people choosing...

I've mentioned on the forum, a couple of times, that I once worked in a strip club and that I also once walked past a door way where people were filming a porn scene. Those two incidents are connected.

There were always loads of men at the club giving out business cards and some of the women answered them. Many of the women/girls were as I explained earlier - reach puberty early and have a 'figure' by the time they're 15/16. Going into modeling was a natural progression for some but I think it takes a certain personality to build your way up the sex industry, reach the top and then to stay at the top till say they're 40. Lisa Ann has been the top porn star for over a decade, she retired twice and is on her 2nd comeback, Romi Rain is in her mid thirties and is now moving more into presenting and ASMR and theres loads more. I doubt it is the perfect industry for anyone as so many top stars are trying to leave. Then theres the Sara Jays of this world who are still working well into their 40's and still enjoying it. Its a fascinating industry.

would you be happy with your daughter/granddaugher going into the industry at 16, would you think that was all power to her?
