On the flip side, you seem to think them being pornstars does indeed give them this extra knowledge that it doesn’t. They’re acting in the videos. Yes several have put in the time to acquire knowledge and transition into an educational role, but not because of magic porn knowledge.

I don’t think porn actors are automatically disqualified from being knowledgeable about sex and relationships. That’s different than thinking porn automatically bestows such knowledge on them.

Except all your replies are about the people who have transitioned into sexologist roles. You’re responding to negatives people aren’t asserting.

That doesn’t mean I think all porn actors are sexologists. But some are and use their industry knowledge to help others. I think it’s a positive to help spread the word on these people because I think they’re doing good in the world.

There’s no reason to antagonize every commenter because they didn’t bother to mention every exception to the rule.
Saying “Being A does not automatically make you qualified to be B.” does not imply that it’s impossible for A to also be B.
