Truth Behind the Fantasy of Porn

width=

Shelley Lubben was a porn star.
Now she tells the hardcore truth.

In her new book, “Truth Behind the Fantasy of Porn: The Greatest Illusion on Earth”, former porn actress Shelley Lubben rips the seductive mask off of pornography and exposes the hardcore truth behind the “greatest illusion on earth”.

Her spectacular journey from childhood sexual abuse to prostitution to the deadly unglamorous realm of porn sets, Shelley is brutally honest about her past. But that’s not all. Having escaped the porn industry at 26, Shelley now shares her powerful story of redemption offering a message of hope to the entire world.

The first ever book exposing the “secret” side of porn, Shelley wants you to know the hardcore truth. Pornography is modern day slavery for thousands of women and the millions of porn addicts who can’t stop clicking.

But you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free!

/></a></p> <h4>Chapter 1: Under the Big Top</h4> <p><em>Sex-packed porn films featuring hot dirty blondes whose man-eating eyes say, “I want you,” are the greatest illusion on earth. Trust me, I know. I hustled for eight years in strip clubs and whorehouses, manhandling my way to the Big Top, where I was promised fame, fortune and glamour. I was 24 years old when I entered the world of porn.<br /> I put on a good show but I never liked performing tricks in the sex circus and preferred spending time with Jack Daniels rather than the male performers I was paid to fake it with. That’s right, none of us hot blondes enjoy making porn. In fact, we hate it. We hate spreading our legs for sexually diseased men. We hate being degraded with their foul smells and sweaty bodies. Some women hate it so much that I would hear them vomiting in the bathroom between scenes. I would find others outside, smoking endless chains of Marlboro Lights…</em></p> <h4>Chapter 2: Send in the Clowns</h4> <p><em>When we entered our adult years we became sexual spectacles and demanded higher payment in the form of attention and cash as compensation for the neglect and sexual abuse that we suffered as children. I like to call it porn star currency. We will lie to get it. We will steal to get it. We will prostitute ourselves and risk our lives to get it. Porn stars can juggle HIV, Gonorrhea and Chlamydia while we fearlessly reinfect our-selves with even more STD’s. We can do amazing feats with our minds and bodies that would terrify most ordinary people. We can walk a thin line of death and life at great heights without any fear of falling. With the help of drugs and alcohol our skills are enhanced to tolerate huge amounts of physical, mental and emotional pain. Our infected bodies are covered with sores and traces of bruises hidden beneath our daring and flaring images. We are pornographic superstars performing in the world’s greatest freak show at a website near you!</em></p> <h4>Chapter 24: Building a Champion Mind</h4> <p><em>I found rest in God’s gentle arms during those peaceful hours on the beach. Proving to me His personal and great love for me, I began to understand what a Father’s love truly was. Unlike my earthly father who was too busy, God was available, tender and concerned with every detail in my life. Finally, I received the attention and approval I always needed. Sad that I missed out on a relationship with God in the past, I recounted the wasted years I looked for approval from men in stripping, prostitution and porn.<br /> What a waste of eight years, I miserably thought as I tossed down a cracked shell to the ground.<br /> But God answered and promised me back, “Shelley, I promise you that not one ounce of your pain will be wasted. I have a powerful plan for your life and will use all of your suffering to help others someday.” I held onto His promise.</em></p> <p>– excerpts taken from <em>“Truth Behind the Fantasy of Porn: The Greatest Illusion on Earth”.</em><br /> <a href=LEARN THE TRUTH ABOUT PORN and be totally inspired by Shelley’s AMAZING story of recovery.
