You consider that to be on the other side of a line you would not cross. But you have no problem with someone else, in this case DirtyD, crossing that same line.

That's real easy to explain. Just because I wouldn't do something doesn't automatically mean that I want to forbid others from doing it. That's the mentality of the religious right wing who hate porn and such. As long as both parties involved agreed to it and did so clear headed and knowing what was involved that's their business, not mine. Also, given some of the shit that happens in this industry this issue barely registers as things I am/would be concerned with. I'm happy to say I think she's foolish to do it. s for DirtyD, I can see why he would as I have no doubt it appeals to their customers and if all parties involved acted with full knowledge who am i to say he shouldn't do it just because I wouldn't? Unless someone shows something different it's just a business transaction between two parties who agreed to the terms and carried them out and nothing about it warrants the severe outrage it's getting. I'll save that for much larger issues.
I don't think freedom is limited to what I am comfortable with. Freedom often means seeing and dealing with things you wouldn't do yourself. FAR too many people see it the other way around. That, quite frankly, is a HUGE problem in this country and leads to a lot of shitty laws and crappy court rulings that lead to the protections and guarantees afforded by the constitution to be severely weakened.
