We at PAPS are a consultation service for women in the adult industry. Unlike day jobs, sexual harassment and power harassment are not considered to exist in the adult industry.
However, we do receive consultations from people who have been asked to do sexual things, have nude photos taken or shown, or have been sexually abusive by people in the industry, and have been hurt emotionally. It is not only men who do nasty things to women. There are also cases where women do it to other women.
Once you have been traumatized, it will have a major impact on not only the time of the incident, but also on your life afterwards. Memories and feelings from that time may come back to you. You may also suffer from insomnia or hyperventilation. If you are experiencing these symptoms, please do not keep it to yourself and come to PAPS for advice.
Emotional wounds are invisible to the naked eye, but they can manifest as insomnia, fear, or seizures. Even if you are unsure if it is okay to talk about something like this, please come and talk to us. We will be there for you and think together about how to broaden your options in life.
