Porn star Marilyn Chambers dies at 56 in her L.A. County home

She died from HIV I bet and she's in hell

I don't know what she did other than this article that she became interested in politics.

Some   believe this type of exhibitionistic sexuality is the result of a deeply wounded woman.

An author who deals well with this subject is Linda Leonard.  The Wounded Woman and Witness to the Fire are my favorites.

I don't know if it is known whether she was able to transform her addiction.   When one can  "see the symbolic spiritual meaning which the soul is seeking and which the literal addiction obscures, then creative life can be realized as a gift.  In one's madness can be found the birthing of their creativity

 Dr. Patrick Carnes, has been saying that addiction often stems from childhood trauma or neglect. In other words, certain needs, such as the need for safety, love or acceptance, were not met early on. The result is that the brain wires itself to crave that which is lacking. And the addict will find a way to satisfy that craving, whether it’s through drugs, alcohol, sex or some other means. He talks about this concept in several of his books, including Out of the Shadows, Facing the Shadow and Contrary to Love.

“That’s right, I tend to think that greed grows from ignorance of one’s self. For example, some might view addiction as a form of greed. Addicts always want more of what gets them high, gives them pleasure, enables escape from anxiety, life, suffering or even from themselves. They greedily crave that which their addiction provides for them. Whether that is  drugs, sex, gambling, eating, pornography, internet, television, fame, power or money. That list could go on. We all have our personal addictions of one kind or another and varying in severity: workaholism, rationalism, shopaholism (my wife needs to read this), perfectionism (Hmmm… I am taking note for myself) or whatever else it may be, we all tend to have things we do on a continual basis. Maybe, this is our sometimes futile attempt to fill a psychological and emotional gap within ourselves, to gratify some long-buried need… “Maybe it is even to heal or numb an old psychological wound of some kind. Psychologists might say that some of these self-defeating behaviours are rooted in formerly unmet needs in our very early years, or through childhood and adult trauma… I’d add to that list a failure to be appropriately sufficiently selfish.” And he goes on to say, “The right kind of selfishness, one that honours, enjoys and respects our true self - is surely essential to emotional and psychological healing… And to finding and fulfilling one’s own sense of purpose… Anyone wanting to boost their self-esteem, for example, needs to feel a slight sense of purpose in life, don’t they? “
