When you see high quality images of girls with jizz on them, it is 99% of the time a pina colada mix, or Cetaphil hand soap.
-
Please remember, these people are acting. Yes, they enjoy it, but for the most part when you cut a scene, it just stops, they catch their breath, ask and take direction from the director, and wait for action again.
-
Bang buses are not real.
-
The AVN awards (or any adult award show really) is rigged. Whatever production company/agency pays the most for their talent to win the award gets it. AVN can barely afford to put on the award show anymore, and the convention in Vegas every year is getting smaller. They have to fund it by all means possible.
-
A lot of these women have kids, are married, or are in relationships. It takes a lot to date a porn star (I’ve dated a couple), but trust, and being open minded helps.
-
To add to #5, just because they are porn stars doesn’t mean they will sleep with anyone and everyone. Keep in mind they do their best to prevent std’s, and are tested every 2 weeks. Their best means of defense against std’s is to only sleep with other tested actors/actresses, or their significant others.
-
On Twitter: when a girl says “I need a dick”, or something of the like… they don’t. They are saying things like this to get a reaction from their fans, and give them the illusion that they have a chance.
-
Those gigantic 15 inch dicks you see… FAKE. good god they are FAKE.
-
Male actors in the industry… It’s odd to say, but quite a few of the straight actors get bored with women. I won’t say who, but a few of them started sleeping with transgenders and men just to mix up their sex lives. And now a few of those guys are now on the gay side of the industry.
-
Working in the industry… you learn how to deal with OSHA. FUCK OSHA.
-
Probably something I shouldn’t say, but MOST well known actresses are prostitutes. I know of a couple girls who have told me their “weekend rate” is $80,000 for 2 days of company and sex. One of them clears $1.5 million a year doing this.

-
Male porn stars need to be able to be able to get an erection and have it on and off for up to 90 minutes.
-
Many scenes you see are actually reshot, so that cowgirl scene may be the 5th time they did it just to make sure it was good.

Another thing I should note: A lot of the actresses look nothing like you think they do. Its all make-up and Photoshop. I know this because I used to be the guy touching up a lot of the photos. A lot of the girls look very different without makeup, and some of them are actually so ugly you wouldn’t touch them with a 10-foot pole. A few, however, look better without makeup IMO.

Hi, porn star here and I’m happy to submit proof of that.
It’s all acting. We enjoy it, but it’s planned, spoken out, agreed and then acted on. Nothing happens without explicit consent from all partied. There are no surprises during filming. Thats not to say it isn’t intense. During BDSM filming I really am scared, or blindfolded or whatever, but all actions only. Body are consented to before hand, usually in writing, and there is always a safety word.
A hot shower, some food and a warm dressing gown are awaiting for us after filming. We’re not just left there!
Sometimes ewe need a break during filming. Maybes f we minutes to wipe up the tears, catch our breathe and re compose. The film is edited together to make it look like its that long. At least sometimes. Some performers really can go for that long gin one shot!
Don’t wear socks or underwear on my way to the set because it leaves marks on my skin.
If I’m filming BDSM then taking aspirin before hand thins the blood and makes me bruise a little more easier for visually effect.
Most are prostitutes or webcam models – myself included.
Don’t date I tithings the industry. Find someone who works somewhere else! My partners has nothing to do with the industry. He’s great and supportive and I love him, but I need to take a step back sometimes.
most that I know are careless with their money which I don’t understand. Ill ever earn so much money for so littles work – it pays to invest, literally!

The biggest secret from my days in porn was the fake cum shot. Take a condom, fill the tip with lotion (or Cetaphil), and some water, tie it off and cut off the rest. You end up with a small balloon that the male holds under his dick and squeezes. I’m not 100% sure, but I heard that a male performer won an AVN award for “Best Cum Shot” and it was a fake one.

Anal requires a lot of preparation, including but not limited to enemas, pre-fingering and eating a particular diet or skipping meals that day. ‘Surprise’ anal = you’re gonna have a bad time, from the top or the bottom.
There are a lot more ‘breaks’ to rest, recuperate and wait for the penetrating lead to get hard again than you would guess. Pretty much any time there is a cut in the editing from one angle to another.
Most ‘porn squirting’ (the kind where there are big gushes) is actually piss.
A lot of porn these days is filmed not on a dedicated set, but in the apartments/condos/vacation homes of directors and other industry folks that all trade with each other, for more variety. This is characteristic of the ‘pro-mateur’ style which is stylistically shaped to appeal to people who like amateur porn, but actually involves paid actors and more professional camera equipment, to maintain the illusion that it’s the couple’s own home.
Adult movie theatres/sex stores where men go to jack off and surreptitiously have sex with one another, are almost singlehandedly keeping the porn DVD industry alive.
Conversions on a paysite aren’t as high as you’d think they would be. Advertising and sponsorship are much bigger routes of income these days.

I listened to an interview with Joanna Angel recently and she said that a lot of new actresses have raunchy smelling vaginas and don’t realize it or don’t care. So if she’s doing a scene where she has to go down on a girl with a stinky vag, she’ll stick her fingers in and then immediately put her fingers in the girls mouth. She said “if I have to taste it, you do too.”
I found it hilarious and disgusting.

I’m an actual porn star (Ely Darling). Google me. 
Things I wish people would know about porn:
- That we undergo a rigorous testing protocol called the PASS system in which we are tested every two weeks for a whole panel of the best STD tests on the market. Porn stars have a lower incidence of HIV than the general population.
- That we don’t get royalties from porn. It’s a one-shot deal with a decent day rate but after that we don’t see residuals. People often think we’re loaded and it couldn’t be farther from the truth for most of us.
- That we have a trade/lobbyist organization called the Adult Performer Advocacy Committee which is in the process of formulating a “stamp of approval” for companies who follow the Producer Code of Conduct and pledge to maintain ethics in their business practices. Edit: full disclosure, I serve on the board of directors of this organization.
- That there was a study about something called The Damaged Goods Hypothesis which debunks many of the stereotypes you may have about us.

Sex stinks when it’s not your own. Sex really is smelly. Even if you’re both washed, there’s a certain stank to it.
10.
According to a guy I met who had done a few videos, you have to stay hard for up to two hours.
11.
It’s actually pretty hard to get an maintain an erection on set. Making porn is pretty unsexy.
Sometimes they use fake jizz. Not all the time, but sometimes for creampie stuff. Sometimes the actresses do orgasm for real. Sometimes it’s 100% performance.
The on the street stuff is actually filmed on the street. They don’t have a plan or permit for it, just go and get it done before people start asking questions. All performers have to sign papers and do contracts, so the girls they randomly pick up off the street was planted there from the start.

Former porn producer here:
- Anyone being penetrated can call cut.
- Enemas are always done before anal scenes.
- Men have to keep hard between setups, so a lot of the time they’re just standing there jacking themselves off, or feeling up their co-star.
- To follow that up, fluffers don’t exist. I’ve heard that they did when they used to shoot porn on film, and the setups were longer.
- Sex is really gross if you’re not involved.
- There is no indicator for dicksize. Feet, hands, height, Asian, it’s all BS. The only stereotype that held true were black men dicks being huge.
- Same thing for the size of vaginas. I’ve seen women around 5′ take an 11″ dick no problem, but a 6′ woman holding back tears with a 9 incher.
- Most gay porn stars straight guys. We had to bring in straight porn and viagra because the guys would get soft… because they were not gay. <— EDIT: This was back in 03′, things might be different now.
- Body builder women are crazy horny.
- The women are faking it most of the time. But when they’re into it, the sex is actually really hot. We would try to cast couples or friends who are already intimate with each other. We did a girl-girl scene once where the director told each girl separately that the other thought they were beautiful, and excited to work with them. Those two women fucked each other’s brains out, and were fucking each other between setups as well.
- If you’re a cameraman in porn, you will eventually get something on you.
- Women make WAY more then men, but their acts are itemized. They’re paid for what they do. Girl-girl, guy-girl, anal, DP, ATM, foreign insertion, etc. Back in 03′, a girl could make $2,500 a scene depending on what she did. Men only around $500. But, if you’re willing to get fucked by another guy, then your rate matches women.
- Some porn is written, but most of it is improv.
- Every company is required to have a “custodian of records”. This is a person who’s responsible for record keeping, including the ages of the people in the porn. If someone gets filmed having sex, and they’re under the age of 18, that person is legally responsible. Also, they’re required to display a physical address somewhere on the website or box cover. You can thank Traci Lords for that.
- All porn actors must take a series of STD tests from this one clinic in the San Fernando valley. In 03′, it was once a month, but now I think it’s every two weeks. They come to set with their papers, and two forms of ID, or we don’t shoot them.
- Content is porn is self-regulated by the industry. The only things that are illegal to film are children and animals, but besides that you can legally shoot what you want. However the problem is that the obscenity laws in the US are really vague, and left up to individual jurisdictions on what they consider “obscene”. Because of this porn companies take a hard line to things like simulated rape, incest, and simulated snuff. Rob Black pushed this too far in the early 00’s and got charged with obscenity in Louisiana. The industry, including Larry Flint, turned its back on him. No legal help, no lobbying, nothing, because he broke the rules. But now I’m seeing more and more simulated incest and rape porn out there, which tells me that companies are desperate to try anything.

That its difficult to stay hard when you’re doing doggy style and your partner doesn’t practice good anal hygiene.

In my experience, the girl that I’m shooting with is either a drug addicted college dropout trying to bring home “Legit” money to mom and dad, a moderate adult actress with a little bit of exposure and does some drugs on the side, or very occasionally we get a pretty popular adult film star that explicitly tells us that we are not allowed to mention her drug use in any way shape or form.
You’d be surprised how many of them are vegan.

I’ve been a male porn actor for two years now, I’ve starred in some pretty professional stuff that went mainly to (Producer’s Note: I’ve redacted the name because it’s a known company). A porn video usually takes quite a bit longer to make than the video lasts. So even before we start the video, we do the picture shoot. This is done separately to the video and I have to get into all the positions we are going to do and stay still from 20 – 50 seconds, which is really fucking awkward, like no movement nothing. This is why I have to take Viagra before I get to work, it’s hard work staying hard. Also the girl usually has a ton of lubricant for the picture bit because it’s not really like sex.
The videos themselves are mostly smooth, but we sometimes stop to wipe sweat off or have a drink. What sometimes happened once or twice was that I popped too early into the video, and I had to take more Viagra and keep going because the shoot had to be finished within a certain time. That was really unpleasant, guys would know this that after you cum you have no more sexual drive for a while and stimulation is generally not so good.
After the shoot is done we go our ways, I’ve rarely spoke to the girls I worked with much because a lot of them are pretty broken and I’d avoid them if I didn’t have debts to pay. This being said I do enjoy my job most of the time, just not the girls afterwards. There have been a few pretty interesting girls but not many, I dated one for a few weeks but it didn’t last.
