Have performed (female) in hundreds of scenes for mainstream studios.
The poor boys who join at 18 years old and force themselves onto boner pills, inexplicably affecting their own personal sex lives for this ‘thrill’… Its sad. Performed with a guy who had to jerk off watching porn in the closet (away from 3 female talent in a BGGGA scene) in order to get his nut for his own pop shot. Couldn’t do it in-person with the real thing right in front of him… Crazy.
I do not work in the porn industry, but I saw an ama that is germane once. What I remember was a comment about poor actor hygiene and the resultant smells. Also flung fluids hitting crew.
Blarg.
It’s a huge risk. You can easily end up very vulnerable due to the inconsistent pay and work. If you get hurt and have no backup plan, you’ll likely end up homeless or in the arms of less than ideal people. It also just doesn’t pay well for what it does to your career life (outside of porn) and relationships.
A lot of women entering the industry are drug addicts, even the top performers you know.
Cocaine is used in anal sex scenes to numb the performers. The non addicts start to get addicted and will also start snorting to feel better.
You are often just told to go to a shoot at A or B tomorrow, you don’t know who you are going to be banging or what the scene will be. Performers who say no are shouted at and told they will no longer work in the industry.
Both men and women are treated really badly in the industry.
Pay is way worse than you think and you are an outcast in society forcing you to surround yourself with industry people.
A lot of women go to Hollywood to enter movies or modelling, a lot of the amateur agents will convince girls they are going to be stars only to later pressure them into porn.
Used to be an editor for tv broadcast porn. There was a former star that rose to mainstream fame and the company decided to make a huge push on her content to capitalize on it. I found the whole thing pretty gross. We had to drop everything to get her old stuff ready for broadcast within a handful of days.
A lot of injuries happen to both men and women during filming. I used to call on a doctor’s office in the Valley that specialized in treating porn actors. The stories I was told were absolutely horrible AND when regular people tried some of this stuff they often times ended up in the ER.
Blood,shit,piss, and sweat are the baseline for every single thing you beat off to. It’s not hot. It’s not sexy. It’s a nasty room filled with random people watching you be used as a sock puppet for cocks for low pay, and often pressurized situations with metaphorical carrots hanging over your head that will never truly fruition in to anything but an overdose suicide of a depressed woman that society has cast out as an untouchable.
I listened to an interview with Angela White recently. I don’t know how accurate this is but, she said that the bigger porn companies (she mentioned Brazzers) take pretty good care of their talent and utilize talent/intimacy coordinators to ensure all actors are all safe. If boundaries are crossed, they can step in and call cut. Mainstream movies and television use these types of intimacy coordinators as well (obviously at a different level). According to Angela the porn industry had its own MeToo moment and at least some of the bigger providers are adjusting to keep up.
I’d like to think that most ethical porn companies are following suit.
Maybe Angela was sugar coating the reality or maybe she’s been fortunate to not have to deal with the darker side much.
I can’t find the actual person because of all the right wing nutjob videos but there is this lady who has been is a constant battle against pornhub. I had no idea but apparently like 90% of porn is owned by one Canadian company that is incredibly corrupt. Because of the nature of the site (lots of user generated content) there is an obscene amount of underage and other illegal porn. There are like 10 moderators (or some crazy low number) for all the sites they run and to actually view and judge all the content would be physically impossible. Pornhub did this huge content clear a while back to try to appease courts but apparently there are still thousands of illegal videos easily findable. It’s just fucked up to think how much of this is out there and these people just don’t care.
I feel sorry for the younger generation. They get exposed to porn way too soon and you have young people of both sex’s not realizing that what they’re seeing is performers who do this stuff because they’re getting paid and not because they enjoy it. Also sets unrealistic expectations of what real sex is.
Not anywhere NEAR the porn/sexwork industry but I work EMS and I can tell you this:
you can break a penis.
Girl getting a little too bouncy in cowgirl? She can snap your boner. The boner doesn’t fall off, but you’re never getting an erection again. And apparently it’s quite painful. I mean. Obviously.
Was a sex reporter many years ago… maybe half the women I met did it to pay for medical expenses. Fertility treatments, braces/dental work, weight loss surgery, breast reduction, and insulin were all common reasons. Most of the rest did it for rent and groceries. I didn’t meet many addicts, but there were some.
Others have said it, but the smell is horrendous. Eye-watering. Like nothing you can imagine.
Outside of porn, they’re people you see everyday and fairly unrecognizable (this was before facial recognition was a thing). I met real-life nurses, business owners, teachers, and even a sheriff’s deputy.
Almost everything you see is contrived, manipulated, or flat-out fake.
Looking at the comments and not seeing the type of things that the question is really getting at.
I’m not a person in the industry, just someone who’s been watching for a very long time.
The first thing that most people don’t realize is the smell on set. Between the lube, the lights, the open orifices, the aroma of B.O. and excretions of various types is supposedly rather overpowering.
Next, if you are scheduled to perform, as a woman, the only thing that will stop that shoot is if the guy fails to rise to the occasion, or there is an actual injury, as others have said. This can be particularly vexing if you were going to do an Anal scene. The receiving partner almost always skips a day of food ahead of one to ensure there are no “surprises” while exploring the ol’ Hershey highway. I’ve heard that there is quite a bit of grousing when it comes to cancellations, because of this.
Periods don’t stop a shoot. Often what they’ll do is stuff a menstrual cup up there or a sponge, and there are stories of them being forgotten about after the fact, only for the poor saps at the next shoot to discover it and then have to replace it with a fresh one. See issue one, but even more so.
Lastly, most pro guys in the industry (in the last 40 years or so anyway) are actually gay, (or at least Bi) and require Viagra to perform.
I used to date an adult film actress, Haley Paige. Her real name was Maryam Haley. She was mrdered by her pos ex boyfriend/manager. He would force her to work, then get jealous.. so jealous that he klled her while jacked up on drugs .
If you get a minute, read about her. She was a sweet, caring girl who got hooked up with the wrong people .
Attempted to start a small studio with a few friends like a decade ago.
Almost all the women were on drugs, all the guys where at least on mexican viagra(before bluechew) or had done dick shots to preform.
The best you can hope for is being completely independent, which is why I am not at all surprised OF has blown up because why would you want to deal with any kind of management.
Especially since management was some of the most horrid people I’ve ever met. I knew street pimps that had more respect for their ladies than a producer at a medium scale porn company.
We lost funding before ending up in the black financially because both of our producers would get whiny and belligerent when we told them to find pussy on their own time and to please stop harassing talent, it happened so often we stopped involving them in talent meetings and they bailed because they just wanted to pay for play in the most convoluted way possible. I think they were expecting those meetings to be more “casting couch” and less like an on-boarding meeting with a companies HR.

That most of it is fake, everything from the duration the the actual cum

The fact that we were lied to when a guy could order a pizza and five minutes later a horny busty blonde shows up at his door with it.
Where the fuck can you get pizza delivered in five minutes?

Every ‘spontaneous’ scene you’ve ever watched had a camera guy sweating in yoga positions three feet away.
The smell

I found the whole thing pretty gross. We had to drop everything to get her old stuff ready for broadcast within a handful of days.
Syringing liquid silk into the tip before ejaculation or inside for the pie, then it looks a lot.
They are actors , acting, the vast majority are not enjoying themselves. Also drugs, lots and lots of drugs.
A lot of injuries happen to both men and women during filming. I used to call on a doctor’s office in the Valley that specialized in treating porn actors. The stories I was told were absolutely horrible AND when regular people tried some of this stuff they often times ended up in the ER.

(Former Bondage Porn producer here.)
95% of the models are doing it just to pay the rent. The other 5% do it to pay for their drug habit. None of them are doing it because they enjoy it.
The incognito man from the incognito tab remembers everything, and sells your browser data anyway. He just Doesnt share it with you anymore.
Everyone has herpes
All free OF accounts are managed by agencies who hire people from impoverished countries to chat with you as if they were the models.

the smell
If you think you’re talking to the model directly through OF messaging lol I got some bad news for ya.
Reading about all the stories here, I’m glad I don’t watch professional porn anymore.
It’s not actually your step sister.
I feel sorry for the younger generation. They get exposed to porn way too soon and you have young people of both sex’s not realizing that what they’re seeing is performers who do this stuff because they’re getting paid and not because they enjoy it.

Don’t ya’ll get tired of asking the same boring nsfw questions all the time

Women starve themselves before anal scenes. Often they don’t eat for 24 hours and give themselves enemas to prep for a day of shooting anal.

Some of the actors in the scenes aren’t even married!
