A lot of would-be models also end up getting taken advantage of, too. I saw an interview somewhere with a major site owner calling it "initiation". Pretty ****ed up. I'm sure there's plenty of models that genuinely enjoy what they do, even when it's obvious they're faking it on set. Dunno if that point was brought up already but yeah, something to consider.

What I really pulled out from the documentary was the fact that these women and men have to rely on drugs to get them through scenes. I mean if you've seen anal/vaginal porn which can often be really rough the recipient can get tears of the entrances. They can fit a lot of movies in and tend to not get much of a say with what they are ordered to do in the performance. Many women have said no to doing anal and they end up doing it anyway. The producers and directors can be very manipulative. I do believe there are many lost souls in the industry but like you said there will be porn stars that do enjoy it, I've seen many. I think the important thing is pushing these stars to wear condoms. So many stars have died through contracting HIV. I've seen a video of a female porn star being rape and beaten on set, even when she clearly said no and did not consent to the abuse. I've watched some porn videos where it's really forced and you can tell the porn star is extremely uncomfortable.

Thanks Grogsy! I'm really pleased you got a lot out of it. Yes I don't particularly find the main looks of women and men appealing. I love vintage and classy porn. I also like the idea of real couples having sex.

I enjoyed this Sasha Grey interview if anyone is interested. It's not based entirely around porn but it has some interesting parts discussing it. A lot of it is about her and her career beyond the industry:

I will check that out, thanks Dwn!
