Re: Are there any messed up porn stars?
No but I would expect someone to come on here and say porn fucked up their life but the truth of that is porn hasnt and thats my point.
Its what happened before they got into it that was the first steps in the direction of doing porn which makes you wonder...Why go into porn?
Is it because a person doesnt care anymore? Is it looking for self affirmation? What?

Re: Are there any messed up porn stars?
OEJ - No, i totally agree.. Alot of girls are messed up BEFORE they get into porn.. Porn is deffo a symptom rather than a cause.
Saying that... I dont think many can argue that for alot of girls, the porn industry compounds those issues. I think alot of the time the issues come to surface AFTER girls have left the industry (and are probably half way through the mental health system/therapy etc) and THATS the reason why you wont get many girls replying to this thread. Because the ones that its referring to have already left the industry. I dont expect you'll get ANY girls who are still in the industry to come on here and say they have XYZ issues etc.

Porn stars and the naked truth
--
Female porn stars are psychologically as healthy or healthier than other women, according to a new study, which challenges widely held views about women in the adult entertainment business.
Adult entertainers were found to have higher self-esteem, a better quality of life and body image, and to be more positive, with greater levels of spirituality. They also had higher levels of sexual satisfaction and, perhaps unsurprisingly, many more partners than other women.
The American researchers, who report their findings in the Journal of Sex Research, said they found no evidence to support the "damaged goods hypothesis" that actresses involved in the porn industry come from desperate backgrounds and are less psychologically healthy compared with typical women.
"Some descriptions of actresses in pornography have included attributes such as drug addiction, homelessness, poverty, desperation and being victims of sexual abuse," they said. "Some have made extreme assertions, such as claiming that all women in pornography were sexually abused as children. Stereotypes of those involved in adult entertainment have been used to support or condemn the industry and to justify political views on pornography, although the actual characteristics of actresses are unknown because no study on this group of women has been conducted."
The psychologists compared data taken from 177 adult entertainment actresses with a sample of women matched for age, marital status and other factors. The actresses, all of whom had been paid to work on at least one X-rated movie, ranged in age from 18 to 50, with an average career in the industry of 3.5 years. More than one-third were either married or in a serious relationship, and 44 per cent were single.
One of the main claims by commentators on the industry has been that actresses have frequently experienced sexual abuse in childhood, but the results show no statistically significant difference between the two groups of women.
The study also shows that the actresses sleep better and have more energy. Almost 70 per cent gave enjoyment of sex full marks, compared with 33 per cent of the other women; and they had first had sex at a lower age: 15 rather than 17. On the negative side, industry workers had a history of more drug and alcohol use, and problems possibly linked to sensation-seeking personalities. The study was undertaken by researchers at Shippensburg University, Texas Woman's University and the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation.
Cynthia Graham, senior lecturer in health psychology at Southampton University, said: "This study really challenges views about women who engage in sex work and the porn industry. Although the study had limitations, it is one of very few that has included matched controls."
The feminist commentator Dawn Foster criticised the study: "It is dangerous to generalise about a huge industry: women who are successful and in control of their careers in one pocket don't speak for women in the less scrutinised parts. The study's main objective seems to be to prove that not all women in porn are exploited: no one has argued that. But glossing over the exploitative aspects helps no one."

Re: Are there any messed up porn stars?
Thanks for that BGAFD Admin.
Precisely my point. I've often thought that porn stars are a breed apart from the desperate, junkie image afforded them
The kind of description that cliche supports is someone who has been forced into it against their will, ie human trafficking.
I doubt any of those girls would make good porn stars with convincing personalities to do a job where she looked great performing sex on camera. Hence why I focussed on girls who do porn.
Just tired of hearing that played out shit that all porn stars are whores doing it because they couldnt do anything better.
Seems to me that society at large makes the problem for the girls who have no problem with it and are made to feel guilty because of someone elses attitude towards them

Yes, and Peter Tatchell (of all people) was on Sky News on Sunday morning quoting exactly the same research during the review of the Sunday papers.

Re: Porn stars and the naked truth
The study sounds like a very poorly designed one. You can't conduct what is little more than a survey and then average out the data much like a market researcher would to establish facts like this. Psychologists are obsessed with being treated like proper scientists which is why they like to produce statistics and completely ignore the indivudal. There was no personality assessment of the people taking part in this study, better to use EPI and MMPI tests in conjunction with a study like this so you can say something about the personality types of the people in the two groups. You could have compared the groups even without conducting the survey. Poor methodology and design winds up telling you not very much.
On the subject of messed-up porn stars, a business associate of mine had a beauty just yesterday. He's kind of old fashioned and likes to meet the people he hires before he hires them. The model in question is a Russian with big fake tits and blonde hair. He suggested an appointment time of 11.45am and she suggested on of 11am which was confirmed the day before the meeting. At 10.55am he knocked on the door having been let in by security. She wasn't there. He sent her a text. She replied saying the appointment was for 11.40am. He replied telling her not to hurry and he would be waiting for her in reception with the security guard. At 10.30am he tried ringing her bell, no answer. He then received a text from her telling him to forget the appointment and at nearly 12 when she walked into reception to check her post she didn't even have the gumption to ask if the person sitting there was the person she had an appointment with. He followed her out of reception and made himself known to her. She then insisted that the appointment was for 11.40am, the bell on her block didn't work and why hadn't he rung her. She would not let him get a word in so he said good morning and left. This is a person who is clearly bat-crazy a liar and incapable of keeping an appointment with somebody who was at her doorstep for over an hour. Just impossible. That's what you call messed-up. She also looked pretty rough compared to her photos and videos.

Re: Are there any messed up porn stars?
From my experience pornstars are no more fucked up than people in the wider population, in fact if anything less fucked up. They might be just a little more eccentric, a bit more emotionally demonstrative, but that is all. Over the last 15 years many hundreds of girls and guys British & foreign have been through many locations in which I have been shooting. Mostly all total strangers. In all these years I have never had anything pilfered or stolen, never had any experience of nuttiness or weirdness. I would challenge anyone to have the same positive experience to report after having had over 600 or so members of the general public trooping through their houses over a decade and a half and not EVER have a problem.
