I met Sierra Sinn last week and she is precious! I met her through myspace and she agreed to let me come to her home and visit with her. She shared with me how she came from a violent childhood and moved around a lot as a child and that she began stripping at a young age which ultimately led her to acting in porn movies. Sierra admitted to me that porn shattered her life and that she wants out. She also has a five year old daughter who doesn’t live with her and she wants so much to be with her again. Please watch this video of Sierra sharing her feelings about porn.
While I was at Sierra’s, she showed me her amazing creativity. She has this awesome talent to create braided shirts. You can check this video out of a shirt she braided and also notice the white shirt she is wearing. She made that herself out of a plain white t-shirt!
She blew my mind how fast she was able to braid a shirt. I asked her what she would like to do with her life and she says she would love to start a t-shirt company. I suggested that design school would be great for her and she agreed. She is a very hard worker and just wants a different option in life other than porn.
After Sierra and I spent time together, she called me a few days later and told me she just can’t do porn anymore and even cleaned up her myspace and let her fans know. This is NOT easy for Sierra and so she will need our support and love through this. Please leave encouraging comments to Sierra at this blog. The porn industry will probably lash out at her for this so let’s make sure we stand with her as she courageously leaves porn!
I would love to help Sierra do something different in life and am currently seeking out ministries who will assist me in helping her out of the industry. If you would like to know more about Sierra and how I plan to help her, click here.
Please pray for Sierra that God would provide for her in ways that are above and beyond all she could ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Please also pray for Sierra’s daughter and that she will soon be reuinted with her.
God has big plans for Sierra and I am THRILLED to see Him pulling precious women out of the porn industry!
If you are a porn star and you want out of the industry too, please contact me at urgent@shelleylubben.com. It would be an honor for me to assist you in your decision to leave porn.

Don´t know Sierra personally, looking at her posts in ADT and XPT she seems to be like a smart, witty girl but also a emotional preteen in twenty something body. Sharp emotional immaturity is a characteristic of most sex workers, and porn girls are among the worse of then on that subject, according to both Shelley and the XPTers opinions. Shelly will need a lot of faith and luck to turn Sierra around, she seen very dysfunctional even by porn girls standards. And professional help. Sierra might be mentally ill. In my opinion most porn girls are. Severe stress disorders like post traumatic stress, borderline personality or dissociative (multiple) personality disorders are very common among sex workers like strippers and escorts, so there is no reason for porn girls to be any different. The illnesses might have been the result of child abuse or the sex work itself. That is one of the reasons they have so much trouble holding a regular job and keep returning into the life when they try to quit.
Some naysayers will come with the "religion as a crutch" canard. Well if you are a drug fiend with a abusive childhood who makes your living getting train fucked in the ass you might need all the crutches you can get. And I do not see atheists and agnostics lining up to help girls get out of the business. The truth is that society at large, including most religions, look at whores as disposable women to be used and thrown away. Only some evangelicals seen to be interested in giving help. What ever happened to PAW?
The demons that let the girls into the industry will not go away when they choose to quit. They might need psychological, financial and legal help. Their clothes and photos might be inappropriate for a civilian job, they will need somewhere to live, driving lessons, the couching of ex-whores about becoming a civilian. They need jobs and very important for a porn girl who tend to have attention seeking personalities, lots of praise and encouragement, myspace friends, forums, chats and blog fans. A gray 9 to 5 job will not provide that. A religion might. So I wish Ms Sierra good luck in her daunting task. i don´t know about saving her soul but for sure she might, if sucessful, save her life.
