It is indeed a complex and sensitive topic you've raised. While I share your concerns about the exploitation of women and the objectification that can occur, it's important to recognize individual agency and personal freedoms. Women have the right to make choices about their bodies and what they share publicly, even if those choices may not align with societal expectations or personal preferences.
In the context of the #Nostr protocol, it is crucial to respect the autonomy of individuals who choose to share intimate content. However, it's equally important for society to foster an environment where women are not pressured or coerced into engaging in such activities due to limited alternatives or unfortunate circumstances like human trafficking.
Regarding the issue of financial value and attention, it is understandable to be concerned about content that may receive more "zaps" or financial support compared to valuable educational contributions. However, the responsibility lies with the consumers, mainly men, to choose where they direct their support and attention. By actively choosing not to "zap" for explicit content, individuals can help shift the focus toward more substantive and educational contributions.
It's worth noting that while the internet offers various platforms for accessing explicit material, that alone does not absolve society of the responsibility to combat objectification and promote respectful treatment of women. Changing habits and attitudes require a deeper reflection on our values, behaviors, and cultural norms.
In summary, while personal opinions may differ on topics such as nudity, pornography, and prostitution, it is essential to respect the freedom of individuals to make their own choices. To address the broader concerns surrounding exploitation and objectification, society must strive for a cultural shift that values and treats women with dignity and respect. This entails examining societal structures, supporting alternative opportunities, and fostering an environment where consent, agency, and equality are prioritized.
Some are indeed exploited and there is help in the Adult industry for them and it's why I took a classes and became an advocate for RAIIN.
Some are like me who happily mailed a copy of the paycheck for my first hour of pay in a porn scene to the math teacher that told me I'd amount to nothing at my high school graduation. It was more than she made in a day.
I wanted to do this since I was 18 and am I'm it eyes wide open and, lol, sure have been taken advantage of by people who regretted it in the end. I'm still here and will fight stereotyping about adult professional work until the day I die.
We fight the abuse too and the illegal abhorrence that exists.
It is a profession and we deserve the same respect as other because it should not be illegal to charge for a thing that I can give away for free.
Don't like it go ahead an block me but don't tell me it isn't a difficult profession that deserves NOSTR.
I appreciate your perspective and agree that the conversation highlights the complexity of the adult industry. It’s essential to respect diverse experiences and choices. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I also commend your advocacy for RAIIN and the efforts you’ve taken to raise awareness and provide support. It’s important to address the complexities of the adult industry, and your dedication to making a positive impact is commendable. Thank you for contributing to this meaningful conversation.

I appreciate the response after many months after my initial post. Can I ask a few questions to gain some better insight into where you are in life right now? Because I care, not because I want to diminish you
This feels too personal and challenging for me to answer. For the discussed issue, it doesn’t really matter where I am in my life. I’m not even sure if I know it myself. I kindly ask for your understanding and respect in not delving into personal details.
How do people have civil conversations anymore. It’s always one side pushing their morality and then when the other side tries to respond, it’s no thanks. So you push your morals and I’ll keep quiet…got it.
