Hi. I upvoted your post because I think it is a worthwhile story and written with sincerity. I do disagree with your position.
No girl (or guy for that matter) that is younger than 21 should be able to have sex in front of a camera for a studio- and that be something that is condoned as acceptable in modern society.
The grief that killed this girl was not caused by the acceptance of sex-work in a mature, free society but rather as you point out by "intense cyber-bullying from her old high school classmates."
This is only possible because a sex-negative, prudish attitude in our society that continues to view sexuality as shameful, perpetuating stereotypes and myths that those who choose to engage in sex work are damaged or desperate.
As your post points out capable people, like Alyssa, with astonishing potential may choose sex work either as means to an end or as an end in itself. Just as some people choose to do the dangerous and demanding work of mining coal for various reasons.
The difference is that when a mine collapses we don't shout SHAME!
