What Being In Porn Is Really Like 

Many people who aren’t adult film stars have committed suicide and died from STDs as well lol. Those are both terrible fates, but neither are specific to people in the adult entertainment industry.

@@Eric_Bassettstupid excuse. Suicide rate among pornstars is several times higher than the general population

There was a girl named Suzie Diamond (From Slovakia) back in 2005-2007 time frame. Absolutely stunning! Could have been a legit model. Quit the business after 2 .5 years and literally disappeared. No social media (none that's actually her at least), no post-career interviews or podcasts.....nothing. Anybody know if she's still alive or any info on her??

Like who?

@@FigyArtJohn146 Like a lot of them, especially over the past 40 years ... OD's, STD's, suicides are high within the porn industry.

Me too. You are not alone. We (you and I, and others who have repented from this) are actually free now.

Now you put yourself in the Christianity cult prison.

I have been wanting to quit since I was in my late teens. I’m over 40 now. How were you able to finally stop?

@@stevegarcia3811 It's very difficult, but made more difficult because it's not usually regarded as a real problem. That's the first thing. Realizing that if you're using porn chronically, then it's actually an addiction, with physiological and emotional consequences. But while recovering from a porn addiction is very difficult, it's absolutely possible and rewarding. It's definitely helpful to look into spiritual literature like the 12-steps or eastern spiritual advice on this kind of restraint. But just the first 2 steps are super helpful. 1. Admit to yourself that you're powerless over the addiction and that your life has become unmanageable. 2. Come to believe (gradually) that a power greater than yourself can restore you to sanity. / In other words, a big part of the problem is that we actually think we can control it, deep down. Our ego is that big. We can use a substance like porn for 30 years without being able to control it, and yet we still believe deep down we're in control. So first thing is to realize that you really have no control. Because until that happens, you can't really access the higher part of you that actually CAN control it. That can stop it. / Besides the 12-steps (and you can definitely find groups online for porn addiction), then it's a question of noticing all the other habits that come along with the porn and that lead to the porn and changing them. HALT. Hungry. Angry. Lonely. Tired. These are the 4 main triggers that can lead to porn if you're not watching. So instead, you eat when you're hungry. You observe and face the cause of your anger when you're angry. Often you need to let go of anger and resentments. When lonely, you go be with people, or go to a meeting. When tired, you stop using the computer or tv and go to sleep. :)

@@stevegarcia3811 same, just can't seem to quit

Thats most probably because of the "stud-slut" culture we still live in. Worldwide women are seen, judged and treated differently for their sexuality.

Could you give the source. I would really like to know more about that.

*died by suicide

@Obvious Bambi It's social media & not an English lesson class. U & everyone else understood. Next u will tell me that it's 'you' and not 'u'

@@derfdeswoasein That's not really what the issue is, in fact in the U.S there are tons of young women who look up to people like Riley Reid, Mia Khalifa, etc. The biggest issue is that it is simply not natural for a woman to have so much sex with so many different men, and not only that but for the entire world to see. A woman like this has essentially completely devalued herself and will never be taken seriously by men. Men will never see women like this as relationship or even marriage material. The other thing is that these women are basically used and taken advantage of while they are young, though once they start getting older and their looks begin to fade the demand for them to perform begins to wane. There's also an element of attention you need to factor in, when they are in demand they are getting an insane degree of attention but as they age this decreases. This can cause some serious issues because again this source of validation is no longer there. When women engage in this they basically are setting themselves up for failure in the relationship department and will find themselves incredibly isolated.

Those that do it..that.s who.

A lot of these women are attracted to the fame and attention but money is a huge factor. Tori Black had an interview where she mentions making over 20k in her first month in the business as a complete amateur. A lot of these women were/are barely out of high school when they started their careers. Can you imagine them in college or working some job at a grocery store or fast food place and then pulling that kind of money?

​@JDerrickfitness you can do that now with OF without sex to be fair, I think production pron will die ou

@@rml4289 I definitely can see that for sure. However, there are so many women doing that now where it may actually be difficult to be pulling in a lot of money. A relatively cute woman could reach out to a porn company and be making tens of thousands of dollars within a short period of time so long as she is willing to be in front of the camera. With only fans it may take a long time before they even get close to making that kind of money. That said, all of these porn stars being interviewed now got in the business close to a decade ago or even earlier, well before only fans was ever a thought.

Some do unfortunately

You’re technically both right, since Eminem parodied Mr. Mackey in one of his old songs

@@stevexanny YES. I KNEW IT. HA! IM ALWAYS FUCKING RIGHT!!

Well let’s break it down, first of all pornography can be anything from a still image taken at home to a full studio produced video. It’s such a broad thing, a lot of forms of porn do not fall anywhere near what prostitution is.

I agree. Porn is prostitution. Some performers are only popular because of their performance. And some look fake. Also, makes a joke out of people who have fetishes.

Exactly. Never understood that either

I don't understand either. They're literally paid to have sex, which is the very definition of prostitution. A porn star is basically a prostitute who's not camera-shy.

@@Eric_Bassett they get paid to have set - thus prostitution

And they don't make that much money either.

Utter nonsense, there are men out there who can't have a physical relationship with women, due to varied reasons. Stop with your judgemental attitude and hatred of men!!

@@katoness I am not hating on men in general, only men who degrade women.

From my observation it appears that those who watch porn, especially constant watchers lack true happiness in their lives! Whatever triggering event(s) occurred in their lives convinced them, at a very early age, that sex equates love, and clearly confused them about what is appropriate and inappropriate. This situation for me, while not justifying my viewing of porn, a very difficult situation! I was cornered by, at first, a compulsory need to release anxiety and stress, but eventually put me, again, in a difficult place that I wasn’t aware of putting myself in! In my early twenties I was diagnosed having a mental issues and had a very deep sense of self revulsion to the point of incapable of ever being in a relationship with females, or at the most very very few and only being very careful with myself to not get my head into a place of fantasy when I am clearly in reality. Over the years my addiction did get a bit crazier, but I deliberately don’t date and in general for the most part don’t try to develop relationships with women in my age bracket!

@@markreamer5113 Thank you for sharing your story. I have a similar history with porn. I was awkward with women and often avoided attempting relationships with them when I was young, and my porn obsession played into that. In my teens I would have defended porn usage right and left just like the commenters who got angry at my post. Now I am happily married. There is hope for you to have a deep, meaningful relationship one day too, if that is be your choice. I respect one who chooses a happy single life as well though.

@@drfenderfunk Don't forget it takes two to tango, male and female, for the porn industry to exist.

Kind of weird you didn’t capitalize “Heaven”

Of course isno womnin porn going to tell the truth.

Exactly same

Let me ask you this. When someone is addicted to alcohol we call them an alcoholic. If someone is addicted to porn they are a porn addict. So if you can drink alcohol at a responsible rate and not be an alcoholic, can someone use porn at a responsible rate and not be a porn addict ?

Muh victimhood 🤪

But no kids yet right? figures.

Thanks so much for your support! Keep fighting for love! -FTND

I pray for you. Now, put it into your mind the things these actors are put through. Many are coerced and given no other choice. Many of those actors are addicted to drugs and very mentally unhealthy. They aren't enjoying it. And those that are are either new to the industry or they enjoy abusing others. Remind yourself of this. You can do this.

Quitting is for quitters

Hey man, every time you watch porn you are contributing to a demand that ultimately leads to essentially abuse and rape.

It's bondage, I get it. Praying your heart will be softened to hear their cries and help end this form of slavery.

If you want to live ethical than try to quit its not difficult

Hell nah

Worth losing ur life over? Hell nah. Wtf.

There is NO such thing as rape! They are being PAID to perform sexual acts and for pornstars who already have a name in the industry, the money can easily be in the 5 digit per scene, not to mention what they get from other sources in the porn industry. Btw, i know of almost none former pornstars, who have come out talking about rape etc. Depression, mental issues, phycological issues yes, but rape almost none.

@@alexanderkordas682 What I'm saying is... if it's rape then report it to the police because rape is a felony....and certainly don't show up to the set to let it happen ever again. If you're deliberately getting out of bed every morning, and driving over to the same set to be raped over and over again, and getting paid large sums of money for it, and not reporting it to the police, it's not rape. It's something you're obviously willing to do. It should not be described as rape if you're willing to participate in it on a regular basis and not reporting it to the police. This is America, there are other ways to make money. Porn is not the only way to make money.

Stupid excuse as always. They wouldn’t be doing it if they had other options. And coercion isn’t consent. If they can’t meet demand, that’s where sex trafficking comes in. If there’s demand they’ll get people do it either way, this isn’t an issue on education 😂

@@JoshuaHancock-zk2tx Dude the title is "What Being in Porn is Really Like". If it is non consensual that's a very different ball game to "'being in Porn". It's called Rape. And the title would be "What being Raped on Camera is really like". 🙄

@@JoshuaHancock-zk2tx This comment shows the complete ignorance that results in the sex slave trade being disregarded as an issue. The title of this video is "What Being In Porn Is Like". And the text reads "Porn is not as Glamorous as you think". Ie. The issue is the thought that Porn is Glamorous. Which is by definition an education issue not a consent issue. If it was non consensual the title would be "What being Raped on Film is Like". Consent is the difference. This is clearly a woman who consented and it is a VERY different issue to the women who don't consent, either by being Raped or trafficked or both.

@@Solistastyle excuses as usual. people dont consent to degradation and abuse, they're coerced.

​@@JoshuaHancock-zk2tx There are some people who are abused in Pornography, but conflating a terrible choice with someone who is coerced from the jump is holistically disrespectful.

for about the same reason men can't stop watching porn. It is diabolical slavery that promises you happiness and paradise

Sex trafficking, coercion. It’s filmed rape.

Because they want the money.

Drugs are bad mkay

Being an addict robs you of your humanity. Choices made when you are in the maddening grip of addiction are not entirely yours, nor are they an accurate reflection of who you are. If you know any addicts personally, they will tell you that full fledged addiction turns the user into an animal, completely consumed by ways and means to get more. When you're in that state of mind there is no limit to what "you are willing to do." That's why otherwise upstanding citizens can wind up robbing and hurting people just to get more oxycontin or whatever the flavor of the month is. Addiction is powerful. it's not a fun thought but it basically it boils down to this: If you believe many porn actors and actresses are likely addicts... it's impossible to square that with the notion that performers are really "choosing" to be there. I'm not saying people aren't responsible for their choices, only that those choices may not be as clear headed and starry eyed for them as we would prefer to believe. ...It's not fun to think about.

Porn wasn't invented yesterday. It's normal U will have to do scenes over when it's not right. Same with action, horror movies. The real problem, or one of many is that the scene involves straggling, beating. Which is a turn off.

@@htmoh8115it’s not normal and it’s very unethical. It’s made so men can beat their meat to women being coerced and abused on camera. Just because you don’t see the abuse on screen doesn’t mean there isn’t, there’s plenty of editing. It’s filmed rape.

Porn can’t really be put into one category, the Cam scene while still a part of porn is entirely different. There’s much more independence there; as well as the possibility for interaction unlike with videos. It’s nothing to be despised, it’s just people expressing themselves sexually. A traditional relationship can also be toxic and not the fairytale it appears to be from the outside. This channel has good intentions, but they really seem to only focus on studio style pornography with producers and directors and etc running the show. I feel like these days many women are creating it independently without any shady characters telling them what to do. They will have to expand and talk about more forms if they truly intend to succeed.

Try this tidbit of reality. Once something is on the internet, it's no longer yours. Internet is forever. People can download and share it to their hearts content without your knowledge or consent. So to answer your question, they have ZERO control.

Still bad and exploitative, except with cams they are interacting directly with the Johns, a little more like prostitution. "How many coins for you to ______?" "Why don't you _____?" Still end up with vaginal and anal tearing from being financially pressured to do things they don't want.

@@Eric_Bassett the shady characters telling them what to do are often the viewers. idk if it was on this channel, but I’ve seen someone who used to do Only Fans talk about this. Physically, yes, these women are in control of what they do. but psychologically/emotionally, their self esteem and boundaries are broken down over time. I feel like there are MANY women who are coerced into doing things for money or other reasons that they would not have otherwise been comfortable with. it’s an exploitative thing at its core.

@@Tara-cv2kz not in all cases, and aside from what you said a lot of these same issues can 100% exist in a relationship or in a marriage. I’ve known plenty of people who we’re in extremely abusive relationships (physically and mentally). My critique is that this medium is just like anything else in life. You can’t hyper-focus on the same angle without acknowledging experiences will differ just like with any other thing. What I’m saying is if everyone stopped watching porn today worldwide, the issues would still exist.

When I was a teenager I thought it was. I wanted devouchery, yes like movies showed and are still showing, some do show the ugly side... and so go even further to really emphasize the ugly side, those are the ones that make you react a little. I did not understand it then, what she was saying as I understand it now and I hope I can understand the grief that if puts on God even further, love so mercyful so divine, requieres my all. ✝️

She is not talking about them obviously

@@theiswithin3649 I wrote the ones lied to or abducted are the ones being raped. For example, they're told it's a model job when it's not. Then they're forced to do adult industry content.

@@theiswithin3649Yes, but this channel over all completely skips over the fact that there are in fact people who enjoy making it. I mean there are couples who make it together, and couples who consume it together. They depict porn in a very narrow scope here and that’s their biggest downfall. If you truly want to educate, you have to educate on both sides of the coin when it comes to a topic like this.

Think about it this way. The couples who choose to perform it together. Do you really think they live good lives? They may look happy on camera but the reality is they probably have zero relationship with their parents, siblings. They probably never choose to have children because of the shame their child will feel if they discover who their parents are. And if the couple breaks up or divorces then what? All their money is down the drain. I get the sense that if a relationship begins to slip, either side may begin to coerce the other into staying together so they can still make money. We really have no idea if they actually enjoy it or not.

@@thatperformer3879 You discredited your entire argument with your last sentence. “We really have no idea if they actually enjoy it or not” you are trying to shed a negative light on it but ultimately admit you can’t be sure if they DONT enjoy it. Talking about kids and family and all that is a low blow, plenty of sex workers have kids. And every family is different, while sex work would certainly be taboo in some families, in others the parents would in no shape way or form not love their child just because of a career choice. Furthermore everything you’ve said can also apply to people not in the industry. Plenty of couples didn’t have kids because they put career first, plenty of couples may not have a relationship with extended family for XYorZ reasons. lol families were literally falling out during Covid based on if they supported the vaccine or not. There will always be drama in families and social circles. You guys are trying to build this reality in which anybody not in sexwork or not indulging in content is magically happy. That’s just not true.. idk how religious or “pure” someone claims to be. They could be an alcoholic, they could be dishonest or untrustworthy and the list goes on.

😘

There was far less competition and wayyy less girls available to the industry

OK kath whose guy which is single

Much more sex trafficking and coercion in the amateur scene.

So why are the most popular categories always violent, sexist, racist, inc/estuous, and packed with conventions imitating ped/oph/ilia if “any stimulation will do,” or “they’re just satisfying their needs?” The seeking of healthy erot/icism isn’t wrong since that’s the social drive which accompanies lust but the people who eat up the current kind of por/nogra/phy should be stigmatized and avoided until they stop entangling intimacy with degradation and violence. I did it. No one has an excuse to stay that way past childhood and adolescence after it becomes undeniable how warped it all plainly is.

That’s like saying because you are married you can’t get raped, when marital rape is the most common type of rape. Doesn’t matter if you signed up for it or not, one can still find themselves in a situation where they are raped.

Rape means that someone does not want to have sex regardless of whether they are receiving money or not, it is rape. Signing up out of necessity does not mean you are consenting and people are innocent if they exploit you.

@@morgan2690 yeah thats bull shit. if you made a decision to go to the set, said you'd do it, got paid for it, and went through with it, its not rape. nobody forced you to. she would have made 45 choices in that time that lead up to the actual filming of the scene. this undermines actual rape.

@@FromTheHipp You don’t know how the industry works. Very often some gal will consent to some ‘high pay, soft core, tell us, if you’re uncomfortable…” bait and switch. They tell you if you don’t sign the contract you won’t get paid- it’s ten pages of meaningless legalese, but no plot spelled out- Then surprise to you- you’ve shot a few things- and suddenly it all changes- more guys, different scene- painful degrading stuff you didn’t and don’t consent to… You’re already compromised on film and way outnumbered (forget the already existing power and financial differential) a bunch of bulky guys surround you and the producer shouts at you that you ‘lied to them’ and you’re costing everyone time and money and- it’s all on purpose- they threaten to use it but not pay you, pretend to comfort you with drugs or alcohol- and shoot the scenes they wanted but know you’d never consent to- with intimidation and brute physical force. She wasn’t wrong or exaggerating. Do you have any idea how common that is?

@@morgan2690 yeah sorry, not even close to rape. Not criminal at all. Anyone can get a job. Not the money they WANT, but they can live.

Do more research. Some of those "actresses" have pimps, some of those girls are drugged out of their minds, etc.

Some women actually are held against their will, but most don't see any other way. This definitely falls under prostitution, but it's often their choice to continue in it. For victims, I empathize and want to help, but for those choosing to engage in the lowest hanging fruit of making money, what do you expect me to do for them if they won't do something for themselves?

Some porn is form of human trafficking. There’s a video on this channel of Jane Doe (2 part interview). Part 1 explains how she was scammed into thinking it was a modeling job. Turns out she was held hostage and her rape was filmed during that time.

Just morally dubious females playing the victim card: nothing new under the sun
