I'm The Duke University Freshman Porn Star And For The First Time I'm Telling The Story In My Words | xoJane
Jared Sperli stashed this in inequality
"But why would you do porn?"
People often ask me this question. They know I am a freshman at Duke University, and their shock and incredulity are apparent when the rumor they've heard whispered or read on a chat board turns out to be true.
However, the answer is actually quite simple. I couldn't afford $60,000 in tuition, my family has undergone significant financial burden, and I saw a way to graduate from my dream school free of debt, doing something I absolutely love. Because to be clear: My experience in porn has been nothing but supportive, exciting, thrilling and empowering.
The next question is always: "But when you graduate, you won’t be able to get a job, will you? I mean, who would hire you?"
I simply shrug and say, “I wouldn’t want to work for someone who discriminates against sex workers.”
I am not ashamed of porn. On the contrary, doing pornography fulfills me. That said, I vehemently want to have my privacy respected -- and I ask that anyone who knows my real name respect the fact that I am only discussing this publicly because it was made a public matter when I was confronted by a fraternity member who chose to tell hundreds of other men in the Greek scene.
I think it's a great idea to hire this person, assuming she's got relevant skills beyond porn.
The guys around her will not spend any mental energy trying to imagine her naked:)
Everybody will quickly get over her other occupation and the interactions will be more business focused.
