I was watching a documentary called "Hot Girls Wanted" because why wouldn't I? It's about the amature porn industry and how there's no shortage of young women, all 18 and over, willing to do it. The Neflix decription mentions exploitation and that got me thinking, if it's an adult doing it of their own free will, is it exploitation? It's not just about porn either. I've seen the term come up in discussions about football and MMA and pretty much anything where someone is doing something, that someone else doesn't like.
Thoughts?
Poll on the way
Can such be exploitation? Sure, absolutely. Should it be illegal? Not so much. In the case of all three examples, it could qualify as exploitation as the participants are not always cognizant of the long term ramifications of what they are doing, which those profiting from it do not make clear. However, there is a definite limit to just how much the government can protect people from their own ignorance.
Edit: and I do not like your poll options, so not voting.

Individuals especially young and naive can be coerced into anything is that exploitation? it can be. As long as theres been humans theres been con artists and worse and no shortage of other humans to fall into the web. Is it illegal that all depends on whether it breaks a law or not.
Adults can be duped willfully and its illegal, like if someone like a Bernie Madhoff conned you into investing in his ponzi scheme, you do it willfully but he still broke the law. Porn isnt illegal if your of age and let yourself get conned into it, you chalk that up to lifes experience

You lost me right here. I spit water out of my nose, thanks!:mrgreen:
To answer the question, unless said adult is handicapped, no, I don't think a willing adult can be exploited. They know what they're doing.
I don't think so. If someone is willing to be exploited, then how can it be exploitation if it is entirely willing and voluntary?
I agree, 100%,
including the Edit.
Gee, everyone's a critic. What option should I have added that I didn't.
You included a simple "No", so why not a simply "Yes"?
Willing does not necessarily mean informed. Can they be exploited? Yes they can, and it's perfectly legal if they are of majority age.
What American said. All that "exploitation" is defined is taking advantage of another for your own ends, and I'd add "in some unfair manner."Thoughts?
I think it would be fair to say that being fully informed, or at least having easy access to full information, would be essential to it not being exploitation.
And if they are and are still willing? Because it's really hard to argue that anyone doesn't have easy access to full information today.

I agree. There's so much information readily available, that, in a lot of cases, if there's ignorance, it's willful.
There are some people that pose as interviewers for porn jobs but in fact turn out to have no connections to any porn company out there. During the "interview" they get free sex, send the person home and never have any intention what so ever of calling them back for any reason. I'd say that is exploitive. :shrug:
They're exploiting stupid, gullible people. Sure, I should feel bad for idiots. :roll:
