Coming Out Like a Porn Star: Essays on Pornography, Protection, and Privacy

edited by Jiz Lee

Does your mother know? What does your family think? Has being in porn affected your dating life?These top the most commonly asked questions of those in the adult industry. Coming Out Like a Porn Star presents over 50 first-hand accounts peppered with wit and wisdom about “coming out” (or not) to loved ones and community. While some denounce pornography as immoral and others praise its sex-positive liberation, the ways in which performers “come out” about doing porn — or the great lengths they take to avoid it — say a lot about how society views those at the public frontline of sexuality.
