In an exclusive interview, Jane Doe #18 told us her experience of what happened before, during, and after she was sex trafficked by GirlsDoPorn. This is her story.
Not all performers are in porn by choice—some are forced, tricked, or coerced into performing in explicit videos that are shared online.
“For one thing, my brain has been rewired so much, everything in the world is sexualized. I am acutely aware of physical space and read into body language too much.”
Hasina Kharbhih’s innovative model strives to put a dent in the $32 billion human trafficking industry in India and its surrounding countries.
Desperate for financial stability, Megan was persuaded into sugar dating, thinking it would solve her problems. The exploitation and trafficking that followed are characteristic of so many women’s experiences. 💔
“Now, when I see porn ads, it even makes me feel sick. The issue is, how can we simply put a price to belittle and exploit others?”
“This is what porn did for me. It reduced me to feeling ashamed of myself because I didn’t have the ‘confidence’ to hurt or humiliate on men for money.”
Porn is produced for entertainment purposes, not education. Clearly, porn is not a quality tool to learn about mutually satisfying sex.
“This was the lie I had been told: that in porn, for the first time in my life, I would have control over what I would or wouldn’t be asked to do sexually. I would have a say in what would happen with my body.”
“[Quitting porn] has helped me to see women as people, instead of objects. To see them as beautiful minds, not just as body parts.”
“Things about porn that used to excite me and turn me on, do nothing but disgust me now. I finally feel clean from watching all that stuff for a decade.”
“I respect my body more, and I wear what I feel like wearing with confidence without feeling like I am on display. This is more liberating than any porn I have watched.”
