In case you missed this the first time around, Shelley Lubben spoke at the congressional briefing in the Capitol Visitor’s Center, this week, www.adultfyi.com/read.php?ID=42453 and said the following:
“Porn is not glamorous. Porn destroys human lives and is destroying our nation. But we can change. We can heal and I am living proof of that,” said former porn actress Shelley Lubben, now founder and director of the Pink Cross Foundation, an outreach ministry to workers in the porn industry. She related her own abuse at the hands of the industry, including the lasting physical and reproductive harm it inflicted on her and other women.
Sixty-six percent percent of all porn performers have herpes, said Lubben, explaining that this rate is 10 times higher than the rate for 20-24 year olds in Los Angeles County.
She also described how doctors would collude in the culture of corruption, violence, and degradation by prescribing the painkillers and drugs that keep porn performers functional.
Lubben, however, said that she found redemption through faith in Jesus Christ, and through “eight hard years of recovery” has been richly blessed by God with “three beautiful daughters and a godly husband.”
She said that things can change for the better if the laws against obscenity are finally enforced. “I can’t fight it by myself,” she said.
