How can you even compare a medical examiner to a porn star? A medical examiner performs a much needed public service while a porn star f**ks on film for cash. Sure an MEs job might be disgusting to some people but it is a worthy and neccesary service.
You
can compare it because some people can't fathom how any normal person could do the work of an ME. Just like you can't fathom that normal people would do the work of a porn star. Some people don't want an autopsy performed because it is desecration of the body. Some people don't agree with porn because it's "not normal" sex.
Having seen some research on who becomes a prostitute, who becomes involved in porn, etc., I'd have to say that there is some empirical evidence that lots of folks in the sex industries have issues. Also, that being involved in sex industries is a direct result of the issues. Finally, that there are more adaptive ways of dealing with said issues.
By more adaptive, I mean more likely to have a good life-outcome. The sex industries are full of exploitation, physical abuse, emotional abuse, drugs, and STDs.
