I was honored when CBS News reached out recently and asked me to participate in a piece on mental health in the adult entertainment industry. During the interview, they took the time to discuss a lot more, too. Have a look, Amber Lynn fans – and I hope you enjoy it!
“Lynn said she has deep concerns for today’s porn performers. “When I was young, I never really felt like I was in a position where if something happened to me, I wouldn’t have somebody that I could turn to that would be able to see me through that dark period … the actors of today, we lose a lot of them, because there’s a lot of suicides, for many different reasons.” – Full article on CBSNews.com
Thanks again to CBS for asking me to contribute to this critical conversation affecting everyone in the modern adult business – especially newcomers – of which there are more entering porn on a regular basis than ever before.
The adult world can be a rewarding and fulfilling line of work, but it’s not for everyone. Future performers (and even fans) should be aware of the risks to mental health. I appreciate being given another forum to share my experiences.
im happy and surprised cbs did a story on this important topic. the business isnt the problem. kids who havent thought it through getting into the business for quick money and fame is the problem because the internet is forever. it will never happen… but a lot of the blame should fall on casting agents, model agencies, or whatever they call themselves now adays. ive been out of it for almost 20 years, but enjoyed my time in the biz and am just heartbroken by all the fallout i see today.
Thanks for your opinion, CindyQ. Did we know or work together?
