Now if it was the other way round, we may think Martin was off to NZ...

Is there anything wrong with marrying a porn star? Do you consider porn stars to be less worthy than yourself? As a subject that has affected me personally, I am actually quite offended that you would have a problem with this.



Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with them.

Not at all. But is my choice if i choose to be with someone who has had the equivalant of several football teams go through them. In my opinion, great for a few sordid encounters, but certainly not marriage material.

You make them sound like they are not human beings! Just because someone has had more sex partners than you, how does that make them 'not marriage material'?

I have no idea what you mean by 'the equivalent of several footballs'?

a) A porn star who has had sex with lots of different partners earning a salary.

b) A non porn star who has had sex with lots of different partners earning a reputation.

There are always some people that are offended by anything

If you don't know what several footballs means.......... then either you aren't very clever, or you being deliberately obtuse, I'm not sure which one tbh.

I think you'll find it is an "on your back" up job.

And yes I know that on your back is just one of many varieties......

Several footballs go though them sounds like an easting disorder.

I have never heard a phrase like that but I suspect I know to what you allude.
(Not a good metaphor if I might make so bold)

Well I've never heard the exact phrase before, but I did see a film once with some smallish American footballs in it. So I just assumed.......

The main ethos of MSE, and much of Martin's work, surrounds a non judgmental attitude. For example, some would judge those that have got into financial difficulties, but that would be against what MSE stands for. I do not understand why this non judgmental attitude should not apply to porn stars?

I understand that the article was meant to be in good humour, but perhaps it should be considered that this subject is personal to some people who use this website? I doubt that an article would be published referring in the same way to nurses/ bin men/ cleaners etc.

Lotus-eater, what does your spouse/ mother do? Would you like it if I poked fun at them?

If you are so touchy that your Mum is/was a porn star then don't talk about it on an open internet forum
