So, more about the Great Porn Debate --
I asked a question about people either Ron Jeremy or the pastor had known who had tried to transition out of the industry and the problems they had faced. Ron Jeremy immediately began speaking about how he'd been denied movie roles because of his work in porn, and the same things had happened to friends, except if they were in a Trey Parker/Matt Stone movie, since they cast porn stars a lot. The pastor talked more about women in porn not having job skills, whereas the men had usually had had careers before entering porn (car salesman, commercial photographers, he mentioned) and could get back into them without any problem or penalty after leaving. Ron Jeremy rebutted the idea of a woman's past haunting her by saying that the only case he knew where a woman's past in porn was exposed was this one star who sat on a schoolboard in Tennessee, and her husband leaked it because they were going through a divorce and they were in a custody battle. He said many people change their appearance after being in porn, and hardly anyone (even huge stars who've been in 200+ films), since the films don't enjoy as wide a release as Hollywood films.
Two quick sidenotes --
The pastor's mom blames him for the pornographic spam she gets in her e-mail. She says that they know that she's his mother, and he keeps telling her to switch from AOL.
When this woman kept challenging the pastor about something and making no sense at all but was being really belligerent, he was like, "I don't know, your problem is beyond me," which response totally won over the audience.

Why can men go back to their jobs that easily? Is it because they are essentially anonymous? Because no one is looking at them in the first place?
Because if they're mechanics, for example, and their employers find out, the employers usually don't care. With women, though, if they become secretaries or business people or whatever, if their employers find out, they're usually fired. He never related this to the difference in bodies required between straight porn and gay male porn.
What do most men in gay porn do post-porn?
I have no idea. This one guy I met who had lived in Los Angeles was told me that current gay porn actors are shunned by the gay community there and they sit together in bars but no one goes to talk with them and if someone tries to, everyone tells them they shouldn't.
