Three porn stars have died in the last three months. Hunter Bryce was found in her San Fernando Valley home on April 13th, 2011 dead. She was only 30. Her facebook page is full of comments like, RIP Hunter, you were a great porn star. You will be sorely missed.”
The movies she starred in were the really violent kind where the girls are tied up and gang raped, used up and thrown away. Her friends called her behavior ‘odd and aloof’ though Bryce was clearly having drug problems and had reached out for help on Twitter several times. No one seemed to hear her except for Shelly Lubben from The Pink Cross Foundation. Shelly tried to reach Hunter in time by sending Twitter messages and Facebook posts. She desperately reached out to her fans asking them to pray.
The other two deceased porn stars are Greg Centuaro who died on March 26, 2011 from an apparent drug overdose and Sexy Cora on January 20th, 2011 from a complication with breast augmentation. She was having surgery for the 6th time enlarging her breasts from 34F to a 34G reports Sky News, she was only 23.
Shelley Lubben is also begging her fans to pray for Kacey Jordan, the human throw away binge toy of Charlie Sheen’s. She tried to commit suicide on March 14th , 2011 after her binge and is struggling to maintain her sobriety. She was recently hospitalized and Shelley wants nothing more than to help her get through this pain before she ends up dead too, like her co-stars before her.
Shelley Lubben, former famous porn star and prostitute, now is truly a modern day hero with her life saving organization, the Pink Cross Foundation. She is the sister who truly cares and give real world help to dozens of girls and guys who all claim the porn industry is filled with pimps, rapists, and people who will do anything "to just get the shot," even if the ‘talent’ is under age.
"Most of the people who join the porn industry come from broken homes. Many of the girls are sexually abused. So the porn industry actually lures in these kind of people to exploit them. So basically when someone is watching pornography, what you're really doing is contributing to the demise and destruction of adult survivors of sexual child abuse who are on drugs and have physical disease. That's really what you're watching because I promise you, nobody in that industry is healthy," Says Shelley on her website. http://www.shelleylubben.com/anti-porn-quotes
Another quote said, "Someone online mentioned that porn stars are abused, so I Googled "are porn stars abused". Your page came up and I read the stories. I will never watch porn again, it's terrible and unethical. It seems like modern enslavement or human trafficking."

Dr. Mary Anne Layden, co-director of the Sexual Trauma and Psychopathology Program at the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Cognitive Therapy- "Porn is the most concerning thing to psychological health that I know of existing today. The internet is a perfect drug delivery system because you are anonymous, aroused and has role models for these behaviors. To have drug pumped into your house 24/7, free, and children know how to use it better than grown-ups know how to use it -- it's a perfect delivery system if we want to have a whole generation of young addicts who will never have the drug out of their mind."
Jenna Jameson says, "Most girls get their first experience in gonzo films – in which they’re taken to a crappy studio apartment in Mission Hills and penetrated in every hole possible by some abusive asshole who thinks her name is Bitch. And these girls, some of whom have the potential to become major stars in the industry, go home afterward and pledge never to do it again because it was such a terrible experience.”
Jersey Jaxin says, "Guys punching you in the face. You have semen from many guys all over your face, in your eyes. You get ripped. Your insides can come out of you. It's never ending."
Genevieve says, I had bodily fluids all over my face that had to stay on my face for ten minutes. The abuse and degradation was rough. I sweated and was in deep pain. On top of the horrifying experience, my whole body ached, and I was irritable the whole day. The director didn't really care how I felt; he only wanted to finish the video."
Jessie Jewels says, “People in the porn industry are numb to real life and are like zombies walking around. The abuse that goes on in this industry is completely ridiculous. The way these young ladies are treated is totally sick and brainwashing. I left due to the trauma I experienced even though I was there only a short time."
Ashley Brooks’s says, “For masturbation videos, unsanitized sex toys were offered as props. On set, if a girl was having reservations, or second thoughts, the producers would become very belligerent. I remember during one particular production, this girl, who was new to porn, came with her boyfriend. She couldn't have been any older than 19 or 20. When it was time for her scene, she said she wasn't sure she wanted to do it. She was very distraught, and nervous, but the producers and her boyfriend just kept egging her on. They told her how sexy she was, and eventually became very irate, telling her how she shouldn't be there wasting their time if she wasn't serious. Most producers have absolutely no patience with the girls, even though being on set is a very traumatizing experience. There is no room for compassion in the porn industry.”
The fact is you can read dozens and dozens of stories about the truth of the porn industry. Shelley Lubben’s new book called “Truth behind the fantasy of porn,” is a sizzling page turner of nothing but the truth. Men and women are trapped behind the fantasy of porn and we as a society are forgetting how to be loving and caring for one another. Porn ruins our ability to have ‘normal’ sex because we become addicted to unnatural, violent, and unethical sex which no longer satisfies.
Another great resource for finding out the truth about the porn industry is by Gail Dines, the author of an explosive new book about the sex industry, on why pornography has never been a greater threat to our relationships. It also leads to other forms of illegal pornography such as child porn. Here is what she had to say:
"I recently interviewed a number of men in prison who had committed rape against children. All were habitual users of child pornography. "What they said to me was they got bored with 'regular' porn and wanted something fresh. They were horrified at the idea of sex with a prepubescent child initially but within six months they had all raped a child." o.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/jul/02/gail-dines-pornography
As a society, we have lost the ability to care for each other and our children. Porn is not glamorous. It is dangerous not only to the mind and body, but to the soul. The attitudes against women and children have turned violent. Advocates say we must change the course if history or we are doomed. Child sex trafficking and human sex trafficking are all related to the porn industry, and there are hundreds of stories by famous, former porn stars to share the truth with you.
Another great article that discusses the affects of porn on the brain: How Pornography Drugs and Changes Your Brain by Donald L. Hilton, Jr. describe in detail the effect of porn on the brain. http://www.salvomag.com/new/articles/salvo13/13hilton.php
“It’s not that the facts aren’t readily available,” says one Californian mom. “it’s that people no longer care if they molest a child, rape or enslave a woman, or sleep with a dog. Morality has gone way down and it is called ‘freedom’ but freedom for whom? Certainly not the child, women, or dog that is being raped and forced into the sex acts. This is evident by the state of the world and they way people act today.”
