  An official consultation exercise has found support for tighter control over Scotland’s adult entertainment industry. More than 80% of the responses to Scottish Executive consultation request said the adult entertainment industry should be controlled. Over 60% felt performers were left feeling degraded, lacking in self-esteem, and open to abuse and at an increased risk of rape, sexual assault and harassment. Concerns were also expressed about their health, including sexually transmitted infections, stress and alcohol or drug abuse.
