Sport Actor/Actress Job Porn Cleaning There's just a few of the possibilities, ones we would most likely be most familiar with. Sport could include playing it so often that they never have time for family or to even date if they are single. An actor/actress would, imo, become not healthy when you stop admiring just their work, and making them a part of your life. Such as if you are an artist, somehow all your work has something that is a reflection of them, your ideal "traits" would all be based on them, etc. I have a friend who I swear has fantasy actors to avoid the reality of actually having a mate. Meaning that it's safer to draw them, design clothes for them, watch their films over and over and think their characters are somehow a part of who they really are, instead of taking a chance on life and love and getting out there with someone. Know anyone with an interest that goes beyond what would allow them to have a normal and happy life?

Does that happen with porn?

When you use it as singular a way to define yourself rather than merely being something, one of the things that make up the wonderfully complex persons we are. Who comes to mind is that woman who went to court wearing her starfleet uniform. Or, a person I knew in the Marine Corps (that I hated, hated with a passion) who could only hold a conversation with you if you were talking about sports to some degree.

I'm sure one day she'll be telling me about all the problems she see's in poor people lives, how she hopes things turn out right for them and its' really a soap she's been watching on tv.
