What is the insider’s view about porn industry and porn actors?

Shelley Lubben, a former adult film actress who runs the anti-pornography Pink Cross Foundation, said condom is only part of the story, the morality of pornography is very much the issue.

“America just sees the finished product, so we’re just exposing this terrible evil and slavery,” says Shelly Lubben.

Shelley Lubben is likely to appear as a passionate spokeswoman. She speaks out from her pespective as a former porn star whose life was nearly destroyed by the industry.
The Pink Cross Foundation doesn’t call itself a religious organization in its nonprofit tax registration, but it clearly is one. It solicits donations of Bibles and other religious materials to distribute at adult industry conventions, like the Los Angeles Adultcon last week, where it set up a booth “to reach out to thousands of people with the love of Jesus Christ,” it reported on its Web site.

In an interview, Lubben said plainly that she’d “love to see porn come down.”

“America just sees the finished product, so we’re just exposing this terrible evil and slavery,” she said, adding that she was taking on the pornography industry because “God gave me this vision.”

Lubben acknowledged that the AIDS Healthcare Foundation had different long-term goals, but she said she was happy to work with anyone who could advance the Pink Cross mission.

“We believe the beast can be stabbed in seven different places and bleed to death,” she said, listing issues she uses to try to persuade people both inside and outside adult entertainment to turn against the porn industry — such as

1. alleged sex slavery,
2. exploitation of underage women and
3. the instability of easily broken short-term contracts for performers.

Right now, the issue that’s working is workplace safety, and, through it, Lubben has “found a common denominator” with the AIDS Healthcare Foundation.

“It doesn’t matter what my motivation is,” she said. “It’s a high-risk occupation — there’s bodily fluids everywhere..”
