I thought it was economic, but after an exhaustive research, the average female porn star makes $45,000 a year. After expenses, it's not that much money. Obviously there are exceptions, so let's not start an argument!

I have my Masters in Sociology, so things like this get me asking questions.

It has to be the sex, and some girls just like stuff extreme and crazy, and some just like normal average vanilla sex. They may be enticed by money to do more, but I bet it's more out of curiosity rather than money.

Lot's of young women have a mental illness called Hyper Sexuality Disorder.

That sounds like BS to me. More likely some brand of psychobabble for what used to be termed 'nymphomania' I thought we'd got over that kind of thinking.

This thread strikes me as rather patronising and silly.

For me this is a clear statement for the money. Otherwise she would keep her sex life in privacy.

How else would you explain a young woman in particular willing to fuck six days a week on camera for maybe $1000-$3000 per scene? After taxes, expenses, and agent fees, it's not a lot of money. Why do you think all of the female porn stars are begging for money on Twitter and Onlyfans? Stacy Cruz has done 85 films in less than three years. A Hollywood actress would have made a hundred million dollars for 85 films! Stacy may have made $300,000 at most.

There was an article where a young woman did 80 porn films and made $80,000. After all of her expenses, she cleared $2000 and went home to her parents.

I am justifying to get an idea why they do it. It has to be for the attention and sex, because most of them are broke during this pandemic.

Is there a specific reason why you are trying to draw an equivalent to a Hollywood actress? Do you have a statistic showing a majority of porn actresses turned to porn because their Hollywood aspirations didn't quite work out? $300k for 3 years work is still significantly higher than the average wage in the US. Hell, $45k a year is a decent salary for a job that doesn't call for a university/professional qualification or years of experience.

I think "attention and sex" are a bit of a oversimplification. For a self-professed sociologist, you haven't addressed the uncomfortable reality that porn is extremely career-limiting as societal attitudes to sex workers make it difficult to find work offering comparable salaries elsewhere and in the current pandemic, high unemployment rates are going to make alternative employment even more competitive.

My view is that you're just trying to find evidence that seems to affirm your theory instead of considering other factors. Frankly, your assertions sound remarkably closed minded as though hypersexuality is the only reason. A high sex drive might be the reason for some women, some women like the money that may be difficult to earn otherwise. I'm sure there are many more reasons than just those two but for a sociologist, it strikes me as odd that you would put porn actresses into just one silo as if you can't recognize individuals in a group of people with some shared traits.

Of course, there is a whole world of modeling outside of that elite group of celebrity runway models. But I don't know how well that sort of thing pays.

Over the years, I've also seen some performers show up in the industry where I wondered why they didn't try for other types of media careers. I'm not necessarily talking about mainstream acting, though that is possible. But think about all the shows on all the different cable channels where they need attractive people in front of the camera. Anyway, that's just something I've wondered about at times with certain female performers.
