People Who've Worked In The Porn Industry Are Sharing Stuff Nobody Knows, And It's Actually Super Fascinating
On Saturday, Reddit user u/Junglecuk asked people who've worked in porn, "What are some unknown facts about the porn industry?" They came through with some super interesting information about an at-times elusive industry.
This post mentions of suicide.
Here's what they said:
1."Used to work in porn sales. All the major porn sites — PornHub, Brazzers, Reality Kings, and many many more — are all owned by one company called MindGeek. It's based in Montreal, Canada."
2."There's a website where you can look up when and causes of how pornstars die — a truly shocking amount of suicides and overdoses, but far more murders than I would have thought."
3."It's boring to film. Penetration angles are often painful. It's slow. For every minute on film, there are five minutes of lighting, camera adjustments, and discussion. There are often lots of people in the room."
4."Some bloopers involve actual shit and farts."
5."Apparently, torn butt holes are a fairly common injury."
6."The Japanese porn industry is heavily dominated by women, and they struggle to find male actors. It’s something like 70 males for every 10,000 females. This is also why you see the same male actors over and over again, even though the girl is always different."
7."A lot of the time, when you see women getting face-fucked or doing deep throat, they use a medicine designed to reduce coughing by numbing the throat."
8."Worked security for a porn company for years. There are more pornstars with Bachelor's degrees than you might think."
9."A big percentage of gay porn is filmed using straight men. Not sure why this has surprised people in the past."
10."The performers get sick with the flu all the time from swapping fluids with so many strangers."
11."The medical bills for women are astronomical."
12."Career performers have lists of other actors they refuse to work with. On these lists, they have to give a reason why. Most are one of the following: STIs, ejaculates too quickly, makes scene unnecessarily racist, too aggressive, attempted anal when scene didn't call for it, regularly drunk or high."
13."Some actor/actresses fake it. Coconut dessert topping and some water make a convincing semen substitute, and it tastes so much better."
