Porn stars aren't necessarily addicted to sex. People with low self esteem, a feeling of low self worth or lacking meaning in their lives are more likely to engage in gratuitous sex...these characteristics transcend social status and income levels. That was what my first post was about. I was talking about my experience in a poor community and a middle-class/upper class one. I grew up in both and I compare that to other urban and suburban folks I've met. My point is that there are reasons people engage in gratuitous sex that crosses different lines.
