I’m just imagining a famous young woman dropping her children off at school. All the teachers and parents know she is a porn star , but would they treat her any different to a woman doing a regular Job? Men on the other Hand receive a much more favourable review because they are men and many men would feel jealous and envious in a horny way. What do you think about this ?

I don’t think they’d treat her differently to her face but I’d imagine they’d gossip and talk shit about her behind her back. And idk if men would feel jealous but I do think we’d praise male actors slightly
Women especially wear a ton of makeup most of the time so many of them would be unrecognizable without it. And they don’t use their real names. So it’s entirely possible very few people know what they do unless you really are an “a list” porn star
Ive read that yes, people do treat them differently.
They struggle to date and everybody treats them differently. Most adult stars end up dating other adult stars… Cuz ya know…
One actress said her partner wouldn’t kiss her when she got home from work. You me, everyone and the neighborhood kids know what you been doing with that mouth…
Some adult stars quit but cant take the stigma.
Some people who do one or 2 scenes have stated they ruined their personal lives for a couple hundred bucks.
Teachers have lost jobs ober this. Some folks hide their faces while making adult content for a reason. Which is maybe a good idea if you are not already full tilt career mode and ar ejust testing the water.
So idk. Just speaking 3rd and 4th hand.
Short answer is yes.
Porn stars notoriously have a hard time in normal relationships with day to day things if they are recognized.
Some get disowned by friends and family.
Some don’t.
But the rule of thumb is generally speaking? Yes. They are judged and treated a bit coldly by average interactions.
No one wants to be associates with a porn star. Never hear about people bragging about that for a reason lol
Why do you think men would be seen more favourably? You think if Freddy “Footlong” Dickson just got back from filming Filthy Latina Sucks Footlong Cock 2 and came to pick up his kids from school, the teachers would be applauding him, going “so proud of you Freddy”? No. They’d all find him a bit weird. Typically, working in the porn industry does create a stigma around you. The main issue for women is that their face is normally the face in the shot, so they are much more recognisable than their male colleagues, some of whom are only really recognisable by their ballsacks. But if the information gets out that a person is a porn star, it is pretty stigmatising regardless of gender.
This is not the same thing, but I had a colleague who was highly regarded in their underpaid-academic field who had a very comfortable lifestyle because their spouse wrote porn. Specifically written porn, like erotica, but porn-ier. Like, it was published with covers and a binding, but the buyer had to be of age to purchase it. People talked about that, but usually just in a “oh, wow, that’s unusual, how ‘bout that?”
There’s a fun series called Ask A Pornstar by WoodRocket on YouTube that answers a lot of questions like this. I don’t recall any nudity, but obviously, many of the stories are NSFW.
In what world are you living in? You “know” that male pornstars are treated well, but have no idea what the public opinion is about females in the same industry?
Man these responses make me so sad. I don’t have a problem with sex work generally, so I don’t see why that changes the way I would perceive them as a person generally. Damn
I think men performing gay porn, probably face more stigma and straight
I wouldn’t recognise a “porn star” if I met one, because I don’t use porn. Anyone who recognises one of the actors is obviously watching the stuff, so aren’t in a position to be judgemental. At least the actors get paid to be involved, and may need the money to support their families. The people watching it are paying to watch it because their own sex lives are pathetic. If I was going to judge anyone here it would be the audience rather than the actors.
What were you doing at the devil’s sacrament?
If you KNOW who she is, is some PEAK hypocrisy to judge her.
