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.
