You're not accounting for the fact that (so) many porn performers are victims of sex trafficking, coerced into doing porn when not even or barely 18, and/or unable to escape the profession (because they fear for their safety, or the fact that they are unhireable into many professions with only porn on their resumes).

They're not the ones making a decision at all and what I describe is exceedingly common.

Unfortunately, many of them do it on their own without any external influence, even coming from good families, consider it exciting and are proud of it. Rebellious teenager phase (exploration/exploitation), not realizing what's the likely outcome, then coping with consequences using drugs/alcohol/crazy behavior later when their beauty disappears. It should be regulated the same way as alcohol consumption and every effort made to prevent kids and susceptible teenagers from finding it online if we want any kind of good future for kids.
