Farrah Abraham Posing at Exxrotica 2013
For a very long time porn stars have been looked at as “Damaged Goods”, characterized as having troubled childhoods, and growing up in broken homes, but as more and more evidence comes forward, we are seeing how the adult entertainment industry has allowed many women to empower themselves with confidence and a strong willed mentality often enough to take on new challenges such as to achieving successful business practices and 4.0 grade averages in college, to becoming church community outreach leaders and real estate brokers. Chances are, the damaged goods theory has been thrown out the window.
Recently, “Backdoor Teen Mom’ porn star Farrah Abraham posted a twitter picture while showing her in a pop up billboard with the quote “Jesus Loves Porn Stars”, a controversial statement as is, but it sparked many to question, are porn stars outside of being redeemed in the public eye? Surely, if Jesus can find love in his heart for porn stars, the average member of society should be able to ignore the history of one fucking on screen for cash.

- As it turns out, a recent study of 177 ex adult industry actresses conducted by researchers from Texas Woman’s University, Shippensburg University and Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation showed that porn stars are more religious, and have higher self esteem then the average woman. The study also showed how these more confident women also had also experimented with drugs and had their first sexual experience at a younger age. Wither or not it was confidence which led them to the industry, or the industry that instilled it in them is yet to be seen, but the facts are in and you cannot ignore that many of these women go on to do fantastic things with their lives.

A list of adult actresses recently published shows how many go on to live normal, or even boring lifestyles completely leaving the industry behind and living out lives contradictory to their past. Asia Carrera appeared in 389 movies and now lives in mormon country Utah where porn is illegal. Seka enjoys a life of gardening, cooking and crafting at home. Several have gone on to join religious or moral activist groups and many more have gone on to become real estate agents.
Whatever it is that leads these women in and out of the business, there is clear evidence that the ones who are successful in it, go on to become successful in whatever it is they apply themselves at. Wither it’s the boost in sexual confidence, the confidence in their appearance, the practicing of business techniques or building relationships with new random and exciting people, the upsides of the industry have gone on to build many successful women.
