No shade but sex workers are paid to sell a fictional reality
So taking them at their word that they are happy, when they know the results will be used for the journal of sex research?

But they weren't paid for their honesty (or dishonesty).

Do yall think female p0rn stars who already know the reputation of female PICS stars would say otherwise tho? I mean its their bread and butter why would they say something that would hurt their current profession. I do believe that there are some women who are in the sex industry that are truly happy but at the same time I don't think they are happier than ur average woman as a whole. The only 1 up they got on ur average woman is that aside from fetish films they can rest assure that the peen they fugg is gonna be a fatty.
I would be interested in how those numbers compare to the women who arent in p0rn who are also sexually satisfied.

They do it all of the time. Just in the past 3-4 years, (since ive started listening to foxxhole radio/reach around radio; they have PICS stars on all of the time) I've heard interviews of them where they openly talk about the industry. Some go in on aspects that they hate. The stars and relative unknowns. Howard Stern has PICS stars on his show all of the time. Some talk about their sex abuse. Some talk about daddy issues. Some talk about not liking sex. This could hurt their current profession and add to the belief that sex workers are *&%^$#@Eed up damaged goods, but they speak on it anyways. I get that what you are getting at. PICS stars doing what it takes (lying on a servery) in the hopes of somehow changing americas view of the industry. But I don't see 177 individual PICS stars, conspiring to answer these kinds of questions in a way to make their profession look good. 1. | What is your sexual orientation? | 2. | What was the age of the first time you had sexual intercourse? | 3. | Were you a victim of childhood sexual abuse? | 4. | How
many different sexual partners have you had in your lifetime? [The PICS
actresses were instructed not to count partners within the industry,
unless it occurred outside of their work.] | 5. | How
many different sexual partners have you had during the past 12 months?
[The PICS actresses were instructed not count partners within the
industry, unless it occurred outside of their work.] | 6. | Assume
that you are considering a relationship with someone and the topic of
their “sexual history” comes up. What is the ideal number of sexual
partners they should have had? | 7. | On a 10-point scale (1 = not concerned at all and 10 = very concerned), how concerned are you about catching an STD? | 8. | On a 100-point scale (0 = none and 100 = definite),
if a person had unprotected sex with someone whom they just met, what
would you estimate the probability that they might catch an STD? | 9. | On a 10-point scale (1 = not at all and 10 = very much), how much do you enjoy sex? | 10. | On a 100-point scale (0 = not likely at all and 100 = definitely), estimate the likelihood that you would use a condom if having heterosexual sex with someone for the first time. |

Four data collectors initially recruited participants at the university
using the three criteria; students were given extra credit in a class
for their participation. For those cases that remained unmatched, the
same data collectors were provided access at a regional airport where
they used a screening process to identify individuals who met the
criteria and agreed to participate in the study. There was no incentive
provided to respondents at the airport, although it was believed that
the airport setting would provide an environment with access to a
variety of women who had time available to complete a survey.
So their matched sample pool were mostly college females from an obscure university in Pensylvania, and a few women who answered the survey at an airport. Sorry that doesn't begin to represent all women by any means.
If this study took into account the thousands of women of all ages, statuses, economic backgrounds and such and then compared their findings with 1000 responses from pic actresses, I'd be more impressed.

This is how most studies like this are done. 18 year old asian woman was matched with 18 year old asian woman.

I still dont believe their sample was diverse or large enough for it to hold any weight towards my current opinion.

Goooosh...I want to add my two cents so desperately!
But I have to run 
I also wanna lurk some other threads before logging out. 
Got damn it! lol
I will say this. For the record I represent a well adjusted former teamdropitlikeitshot. Well....I would like to think so.
When I first signed up for BHM I made it a personal mission of sorts to let that be known. I guess in hopes of dispelling myths surrounding the temperament, background and personality of women that choose such a field.
We used to have such a robust selection of teamdropitlikeitshot.  Many of which were friendly, outgoing, candid......
Meanwhile some of the most hateful women on here are society darlings? imjussayin.
Because I stand alone...it's difficult for me to engage in these sort of topics without feeling....vulnerable. lol
I have more to add. But this study doesn't come as a surprise to me one bit.
Disclaimer; I was not ever in any shape or form a PICS star. lol. Gotta make that clear. Nonetheless, the sex industry is the sex industry is the sex industry.

That's cool. But you can toss out pretty much all studies then. But
maybe that's what some in here already do (unless it conveniently
supports whatever issue they are standing on).
I think it's worth repeating that the researchers are not writing these
articles and headlines. Journalist looking for stories are cherry
picking things and posting these (not well written) articles. They are
the ones writing 'happier'.
Seems many reeeeeally want to discredit the surveys for whatever reason.
I don't really care either way. I just don't see why it's such a
stretch for young sexually open people (and i'll pigeonhole PICS stars
into that corner even though there are non-PICS stars who are sexually open) to have better body image, more energy and self esteem
than similarly aged people who may have less time or incentive to focus on their bodies.
