DIARY OF A PORN VIRGIN: 11.05pm
Channel 4's The Dark Side of Porn season continues. Frankie is a 38-year-old wife, mother and successful corporate manager at a leading communications company; Sahara is a young Muslim working in the fashion industry. They have one thing in common, both women have taken a radical step and have ditched their day jobs to embark on a new career in adult entertainment. Diary of a Porn Virgin shows that pornography in Britain is no longer the preserve of sexual misfits and deluded fame seekers. It's 2005, and now there's no taboo when it comes to joining the porn industry, whatever your background. From university graduates and white-collar workers to respectable housewives, people from all walks of life are emerging as the new stars of these adult films. What individual motivations led them down this new career path? What moral dilemmas will they face along the way? What personal boundaries must they overcome? From the initial approach to a glamour agency and the first sexy photo-shoot to the HIV test, the audition and the first hardcore shoot, this revealing documentary shows the gritty reality of what working in the porn industry means in Britain today.

Hi Joe,

You seem to have seen it already?

I watched the two programes that were on Monday night and the one about the HIV scare in the US was very interesting and I thought a well reaserched and presented piece.

What it did bring home to me was that when watching porn, of course you only see what happens in front of the camera and you tend to forget/not think about what the actors and actresses go through themselves when they are in the business and the sometimes terrible consuquences they lead to

. While most people enjoy what they are doing there are some that dont and feel like its something that they have to do because they have little option at anything else and some have real problems in their personal life.

On a lighter tone, although I didn't find the singing to my liking, I did like the interview segments that were shown in Pornography the musical, and thought they gave another interesting insight into the adult entertainment business in this country. Karina Currie, her boyfriend and her mums interview I thought was great.

looking foward to the rest of the shows set to be shown over this week.

Yup, Sahara is in tonights programme and even my ugly mug for a second or two. Her part was shot between Sep and Nov last year. There was one funny time during the shooting when I had just met her on her return from working in Portugal.

The cameraman was filming Sahara over my shoulder while we chatted on the train back to London from Gatwick when.... Over walked this middle aged female, who asked for my autograph as she'd seen me on tv. The cameraman cracked up and it took a few minutes to convince her that I wasn't on tv and it was Sahara being filmed

They also filmed Sahara, Faye Rampton and Kat Varga getting dirty at my birthday party but I think this scene has been cut, though I got some great stills which can always be used by Faye and Kat for their sites any time

Another part of the programme that was filmed and I hope hasn't been cut, was shot at Phil Barry's and is an audition for new studs. I heard one or two could do a lot of talking but unfornately for them they couldn't get a wood...

Featuring in Frankies part should be Marino but with tv programmers and editors... Who knows till it's aired, what will be in it...

The Porn Musical made me cry horrible tears of sadness.

Now, this is not a knock on anyone who particpated in this, but the songs disturbed me to such a awesome degree. In fact, I had the bukkake song stuck in my head all day

To be fair, the bukkake scene was hilarious stuff. The men in masks "singing" has to be the funniest image I have seen in a long time.

Anyone know where I can find a hilarious mp3 of this song?

Does this mean to get into porn you have to be a Sexual Misfit or Deluded Fame Seeker!?

Surely that's not for porn but to be on Big Brother!!!!

[eduardo]

I totally agree ghostdog.

The Dark Side Of Porn- TV always seems to focus on the dark side of this business as if to say we're all fucked up, screwy, drug adled mishaps. Whats wrong with The Lighter Side Of Porn? Why don't they show girls like Angel Long, Alicia Rhodes, Roxy Jezel who love what they do and apparently, seem normal. What's wrong with lovng sex and liking porn? And more so, what's so dark about Sahara doing porn...Hats off to the girl. Your religion should have nothing to do with the fact you like sex. In fact, you'd think porn should be considered a celebration of life, sex, happiness and health like all good things should be. I know thats my outlook on it and not a cynical ploy to make money out of saddoes as some would think and I'd like to think my porn reflects just that.

The Darker Side my left butt cheek...TV guys, you are so predictable and boring! Give me your jobs! You're fired!!!
