One of the things they leave off the adult industry is this as a consequence. You are making sex, which biologically should be restrained to just a man and a woman, and turning it into a commodity to be bought.
Considering all the biology at play DURING sex that is meant to encourage mates to pair up and stay in a relationship, you trying to turn that into 'give me a few dollars and you can use me' will fuck you up mentally as your body on average will reject this.
Yup, many pornstars die young from overdose or suicide, and I think another just died a few weeks ago from overdose?
[EDIT]...Yup, Jesse Jane: https://www.koco.com/article/oklahoma-moore-cindy-taylor-brett-hasenmueller-found-dead-jesse-jane/46536263
The male performers are the only ones with a conscience enough to talk about why suicide is so prevalent in the industry, and a lot of it deals with what you just mentioned: it's hard for them to cope when the cameras stop rolling, and to drown out the shame a lot of them resort to drugs and/or substance abuse. The interviews with former male pornstars shed actual light on the issues instead of just blaming the "patriarchy" or some other such nebulous forms of "abuse" that the female performers attempt to defer to in order to sweep all culpability under the rug.
Marketwatch even did an article about the alarming suicide rates in that industry: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/deaths-of-despair-are-rising-among-adult-film-actresses-2018-01-24
But of course, the Tiny Hat commission ensures that the general public are always led to believe that there's nothing wrong with the porn industry and their alarming suicide rates is just par the course of suicides going up in general: https://archive.is/rQtI4
It's funny the author doesn't even bother to cross-reference suicide rates by other professions just to gauge the averages -- would have been interesting comparing it to law enforcers, firefighters, or anyone doing anything remotely respectable.
And of course, Vice had to run a damage control article claiming there's nothing wrong with porn, and all the negative things said about it have been "debunked", including that the average lifespan of porn performers is around 36 years of age (which is super ironic given the age of the woman in the OP's article who offed herself): https://archive.is/wip/4xfE6
As is typical of any Left-wing equivocation, the article never even bothers to put out what the correct figure is; it just runs damage control so coomers keep cooming.
All that being said, I am giddy to see suicide rates continue to skyrocket as more women realise they've permanently ruined their lives with OnlyFans.
The burgeoning loneliness epidemic set to hit in 2030, with completely plummeting birth rates, and lawlessness out of hand, I think we're almost at the cusp of seeing the West truly fall. A bunch of women hitting 35+ and killing themselves will likely help speed up the collapse, because without the collapse there is no way to rebuild.
Just nitpicking, but I think the videotaped side of the "business" is still too young to have had its first generation fully die off.
But this is all normal because we always had dancing girls and prostitutes!!
Oh sorry, I don't know what came over me.
That's part of the problem, are those the same? Functionally, sure, she's selling a service with her body. As far as the processes, outcomes, and legalities? You could argue they're quite different.
For instance, one reason I could see women in taped porn specifically becoming prone to addiction is because of the filming process. Cuts, reshoots, the possible hours involved.
