Open Letter to Sydney - Please Don’t Do Porn

Leathers is far from being the next Farrah Abraham, but she’s a woman in the media experiencing her 15 minutes of fame, and porn has a way of extending those precious moments of media frenzy. So Sydney, some advice: Selling yourself out for one sex tape hardly carries the hard-earned prestige of being a porn star. So unless you are ready to do your time—hundreds of hardcore scenes—all you might hope to gain from a sex tape is a fat check and a soiled reputation sans the porn-star perks. A sex tape will follow you forever. Sure, in porn the people are generally very personable and nice. But imagine being in a studio, completely naked, in front of strangers, a cameraman sniffing distance from your girl bits so he can get a tight shot of your first porn-stud penetration. Any man you date will eventually know about (and probably watch) your solo contribution to the world of porn. Would the money (easily spent) from one sex tape be enough for the future backlash? Most people have sent a sexy text or steamy photo, so they can empathize. Unless you want a future in porn, which is not as easy as it looks, spin your 15 minutes into something bigger than a sex tape. Maybe aim for reality TV.
