How would you describe your work and or dealings with the adult entertainment industry?
Do you consider yourself a journalist, something different or a combination of things?

#1: I am a misanthrope - meaning I basically hate people. I am a misanthrope because I am highly insecure and I think I am worthless, hence I lash out at others. This is not a joke.
The reason I am so religious (with many many instances of falling short of my religious ideals) is that it gives me some self esteem and corrals me from completely destroying myself and others.
I tend to be controntational and opppositional. If I were writing about the NFL, I'd be similar.
As for my work in the adult industry, I tend to be confrontational and oppositional. Much of it is in humor. Some of it, a minority of my work, is solid journalism. The rest is writing or cutting and pasting what interests or amuses me or I think will interest or amuse my readers.
Everything I wrote above is literally true to the best of my ability to encapsulate it.
My basic take on porn is similar to my basic take on TV and movies and popular music - it is overwhelmingly destructive.
Men won't stick around to help raise kids unless all other forms of sexual release aside from marital sex are stigmatized and discouraged. In the last 40-years we've seen traditional standards fall apart, and not coincidentally, we've seen the nuclear family fall apart.
Ahh, you say, I make/use porn and my family is fine. Well, there are many vices, such as porn, drugs, alcohol, gambling etc, as Adam Smith wrote in the Wealth of Nations, that the middle class can indulge in with little harm that would destroy someone from a lower class.
