It's not exploitation when they get paid. This is a big problem people not in porn don't understand. Human traffic or not once they become a pornstar they automatically have a better life then you. Disagree compare your paycheck to a pornstars.

It is exploitation regardless of whether victims are paid. Choosing to be abused does not make it cease to be abuse.
I'm sure porn stars are paid much more than me, but who actually believes that's key to a "better life"? That's whack, bro.
Many people actually thats why onlyfans became a thing along with others similar websites. Thats why they made a tv show called the girlfriend experience & many books revolving it. You may disagree but the proof is there & i'm sure all those people who are enjoying their mansions, inground pools, high performance expensive vehicles, & butler service are not feeling like they are living a exploited life.
I'm willing to bet the common people who work 8-14 hour shifts a day with minimum wage pay or a semi-decent pay feel more exploited in their current circumstance then a pornstar does. Do you think Kim Kardashian feels exploited for becoming famous by making a sex tape? The only people who are being exploited are those who are stuck in the trap.
You should be more open minded because not everyone who produces porn is a victim case as you like to paint their picture of them. You should acknowledge we live in a world where the inmoralities seem to hold a perpetual dominance over the societies we live in. Where the phrase sex sells exists we do in fact live in times where wrong seems to be right in finnancial opportunity.
There are people who choose to do porn, there are people who are not feeling exploited but empowered from it, & there are people who are happy not only because it gives the money but it in fact changed their lives completely. We don't have to know or understand why that individual does it, we don't have to think what they are doing is right either, but we do have to accept there is more then one way & not everyone is a victim.
A person whose body is objectified and exploited by countless selfish men do not have to "feel" exploited to be exploited. It's simply a fact, regardless of whether the person volunteers to be exploited.
Porn users and addicts may not realize in the moment how harmful porn consumption is to themselves, but that doesn't mean it isn't harmful. All they know is that it feels good right now. And they can even say (in a way) that they are not "forced" to consume porn; they volunteer to do something that damages them. (In reality they are ensnared.)
Likewise, the porn stars who are sexually exploited may not realize for a time how exploited, objectified, and used they are. They know they get paid well, but they don't always understand how their sexuality (a core part of the human person) is being cheapened and their soul damaged. I believe they realize it at some level, but they justify it because of the money.
Morality is not determined by financial prosperity (wealth can be very deceitful). And morality is key to living a free life. Addicts and prostitutes are not free; they are enslaved. We should discourage the enslavement of their souls.
Your just switching subjects. We're not talking about morality. We're talking about if they are exploited or not morality has nothing to do with participation. Exploitation involves with doing something against their will or taking advantage of them. I can understand that in cultures & religions the body may be considered sacred & they teach porn to be a ominious thing to look down upon.
But if a person chooses to do porn with their body well it's not exploitation their choosing to do it. Theres no blindside in knowing your going to get naked & be fucking for more money then you ever worked in all your previous jobs. Will you be stretched out sure but if your choosing that it's not being exploited.
Do you think victoria secret models are exploited for showing off their bodies in lingerie as well?
