For Porn Performers: Tell Your Friends, This Can Really Help

Take care of yourself

If you work in the adult entertainment industry, you may have heard about the number of suicides in the last years. You know about abuses and harassment, or maybe you lived them yourself. You know about the risk of being exploited and the fear to protesting and being blacklisted. And of course you know what social stigma is, probably more than every other kind of worker in the world.
