Study Links Porn Industry to Substance Abuse
According to research by Dr. Corita Grudzen of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre, “evidence suggests alcohol and drug use is higher among adult film performers – women, in particular.”
The study highlighted that many performers face depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, negative body image, and suicidal thoughts. While some enter the industry already struggling with addiction, others reportedly use their income to support existing habits.
