Eye-opening facts about the porn industry – A report was done back in 2016 which found that every single second, $3,075 is being spent on adult entertainment. In fact, the adult film industry is worth a staggering $4.9 billion! It was also reported that 70% of males visit adult sites in a typical month, with over 40 million Americans being considered regular viewers.
We aren’t watching it for long, with the average length being 6 minutes and 30 seconds, but we’re sure watching it often, as every single day there are roughly 68 million search engine requests for adult entertainment.
But how much do you really know about the adult film industry that has surely played a role in your life? Below we’re going to pull the covers back and unveil some of the dirtiest secrets the industry has to offer.
Some of it is tame, like what the average “size” of performers is, how much they earn per scene or little industry secrets that may ruin some of the mystery.
Other facts are horrifying and may shape your opinion on the industry when you read about the role of abuse, both physical and sexual, that seems to be rampant in the industry.
But no matter your stance, you’ll surely be left with a far more informative look at one of the most controversial industries in society. Do you have thoughts on the article, positive or negative? Feel encouraged to comment below and share the list on social media.
How Many Performers Get Their Start
Dmatrixnews gathered that When it comes to people that know the adult film industry, Jenna Jameson is definitely high on the list of names you should trust. Which is why it’s devastating to hear how she describes the start of almost every actress in an interview where she says, “Most girls get their first experience in gonzo films – in which they’re taken to a crappy studio apartment in Mission Hills and penetrated in every hole possible by some abusive asshole who thinks her name is Bitch.
And these girls, some of whom have the potential to become major stars in the industry, go home afterward and pledge never to do it again because it was such a terrible experience.”
When you consider the level of abuse that people already feel is present in the industry, that is hardly the first experience you want to be given.
The Average “Size” Of Performers
While there is absolutely no shortage of variety when it comes to adult entertainment, you may be curious as to what the average performer looks like. Jon Millward conducted a study of 10,000 performers and discovered that their average breast size is 34B. In contrast, the average American woman is 36C.
The average weight of a female porn star is 117 pounds, which is 44 pounds less than the average American woman. The average male performer weighs 167.5 pounds, which is 27 pounds less than the average American man.
The Most Common Hair Color, Career Length, and Name
Above you read about the average physical size of the performers in the industry, but do you want to take a guess as to what the most common hair color is? Millward’s study found that 32.7% of actresses have blonde hair, but 39% have brown hair. Black hair makes up 22.5% and redheads make up 5%. Kayden Kross (a blonde) spoke out about the matter, saying “There have been more brunette stars than blonde stars. It’s just that those stars have never been as big as the blonde stars.”
Kross was also asked about the average career span of a performer, saying that most actresses stay in the industry for 6 to 18 months.
It was also reported that Nikki is the most common female name, whereas David is the most common male name (bonus points if you find a video with Nikki doing David!).
The Girls Don’t Always Get Told About The Scenes Beforehand
Shelley Luben is one of the most outspoken former adult film actresses against the industry. Luben was 24 years old when she started and from 1993-1994, appeared in roughly 15 movies. She had an awful experience, contracting herpes and HPV during her tenure.
Luben stated in a past written article that “Actresses have showed up on the set not knowing about certain requirements and were told by producers to do it or leave without being paid. Work or never work again. Yes, we made the choice. Some of us needed the money. But we were manipulated and coerced and even threatened.”
This sadly is a theme among many former actresses. You’ll read more below about the abuse that some of the women have suffered on set. As well as this, many women have admitted to feeling forced to work with performers that they did not approve of or were heavily coerced to push their comfort zones.
How Many Men These Women “Work With” On Average
When it comes to how many people you have slept with, most of us tend to like to keep that information pretty close to the chest. That becomes significantly harder when your “day job” involves meeting someone new, having sex with them and then repeating the process again the next day.
When 177 female performers were questioned about their “number”, it was reported on average that these women have 74 partners in their life. If curious, nonsexual performers reported an average number of 5.
Adult performers were also revealed to enjoy sex more and were also much more likely to identify as bisexual.
The Incredible Amount Of Preparation That Goes Into Scenes
No matter how “spontaneous” the scenes may seem to play out in the finished product, there is a great deal of work that goes into preparing for scenes, particularly ones that may involve some rear entry. A former adult film star has talked in the past about how she would have to skip meals, stick to a diet and forced to use enemas as well as other means before she appeared on camera.
Similarly while sometimes the filming may seem seamless, adult filmmaking is just like any other type of movie and scenes get re-shot all the time. Think about your own sex life, do you really think it would be as enjoyable if every time you made a move you were fearing you’d hear the word cut? When you make the movie you also need to be there for the photography, which one former male actor said would require him to stay still for 20-50 seconds without moving.
How They’re Expected To Be Able To Perform
While the video may be edited down for when it hits the adult video store (or you know, the internet) the actual work that goes into making a movie can be intense. Men are expected to be able to stand at attention for up to 90 minutes, with other reports saying that scenes can take up to at least 2 hours to film depending on the type. As if that wasn’t already a tough enough task, you get to do it surrounded by a camera crew and director.
Brenn Wynson, a former male performer, has come out and said that he would often be given illegal injections to help extend his time standing up. A former male performer has also spoken out in the past saying that sometimes they’ll finish the “end of the scene” at the start, and then give the male some time to recuperate.
