Adult actress—and former ‘Boy Meets World’ star—Maitland Ward breaks down the fundamental difference between sex tapes and porn.
are two examples of women who consented to having sex on film and built massive brands because of it, earning millions along the way, only to dramatically distance themselves from their sex work afterwards, with you guessed it… regret and shame. Yet, to this day they still use their porn names to cash in and the audience that found them in the adult space to buoy them in other waters.
I am asked time and again why I decided to leave acting for adult entertainment and I always tell them the truth—I didn’t. I am an actress. That’s what I have always been, no matter the medium I perform in. And I’m troubled by the hive mind that believes once you are cast into Hades there is no return from it. Not if you’re happy. There’s only a lifeboat offered by the mainstream gods if you cry those required tears of shame and regret.
Though I was warned about this scary place, I found the adult industry as a whole to be somewhere I could express myself fully, be creative and use my body as my art. How is this different from a dancer or an athlete using their body as their vessel to achieve and create and express their talents? And why is sex, and more so women enjoying sex, still so shocking to us?
