I was curious about this, thinking about the type of woman who might be interested in participating in porn. I know there are some female stars who post here, so I am curious to hear what they think are the usual personality types of women in porn. Are they just more exhibitionist? Wanting to be in the spot light? Is there a goal they have in mind when starting in the business? Let me know! :)

There are many different personality types in the adult business. Some get into to it for the attention, some for school money, some are parents, some just like sex, etc... There are many different reasons why we get ito this business. I love being able to come and workin a positive enviroment - for the most part. People are just so nice and friendly. Very open! Hehe!

XOXO,

I take my chances,
imho one of the biggest problems pornactors have to face
is that their personalities are reduced to their on-screen appearance,
your just the the pornstar.
No matter what other interests and talents you have, people won't notice.

of coz many stars are married, have kids and could live a perfectly healthy family
live, if it wasn't our society that loves to cut the roses down.

I'm guessing many female pornstars have either been molested or are from poor ass European countries or if you hit the jackpot both.

Now, I really do not mean to insult anyone here, but when I first read this post, I thought it was a joke!

How many women do you guess are actively involved in the Adult Industry right now? The number is inestimable! Why would any sane person believe that any group of people that large and divergent would have to have any common traits?

I'm quite sure there are alot who have been victimized in some way (for those of you who have watched too much Howard Stern)- victims often emotionally separate temselves from the sexual act, which would make performing easier than for most of us. I'm also quite sure there are a good amount who are excited by the chance to perform - the lure of the camera, perhaps exhibitionism. And of course , there are those that are interested in the financial gain if they work hard and smart, promote themselves well and catch on in the industry. Add to this those that are simply libertines enjoying their sexuality and you have most of the motivating factors.

But to assume that there is some underlying commonality is just suggesting too much to be accurate.

yeah! poor ass countries like italy, spain, germany, czech republic, france and austria.

if you really hit that pot you live in slums like the golden town praha, the infamous budapest, or maybe paris and have to get your meal at mc donalds!

You have survived for 800+ posts being THAT dense?

Like everyone else has said, its simply impossible to lump all porn personalities into one personality mold. The world is not black and white, its colored with thousands of shades of gray.

Hmmmmmmm, some good points there. Pornactors are very often reduced to their on-screen appearances. Guess that would be absolutely right. And IMHO there is no justification for that fact. Whenever I had an opportunity to talk to a pornactress, I always found out that these girls are much much more than any on-screen presentation could reflect. Maybe the problem is that most of the actresses do not want people to notice that they have a life, a family, kids, whatever ..... for privacy reasons. Guess that´s why people like matt47 are coming up with questions like that, time and again.

And, X-RAY, our sick society loves to cut down the roses, yes. But the funny thing about roses is that they are always coming back, each and every year. And most of them come back even more beautiful than last year.

Wunderbare Königin Rose, vielen Dank für Deine fantastische Arbeit. Ich hoffe sehr, Du wirst Deinen Weg weiter gehen und uns alle an Deiner freundlichen Telefonstimme teilhaben lassen.

I was and to a great extent I still do represent your
, but all I can tell you is that the reasons are as many as the girls. Some do it for money, some for the sex, some in the hope to work in West, some in the hope to meet a rich husband, some...(you name it)

A lot of them tend to be very anal.

(Can't believe nobody said that.)

Hey, I didn't mean my question to sound dense or ignorant, I was just posing a question for discussion. It seems so many women in our daily lives mistakenly scorn and judge the women in porn films, whether out of spite or socialized obligations, so I was just curious what trait in a woman motivated her to get involved despite all of this. I've always thought it small-minded to judge a person in this fashion, specifically as your average woman on the street would harshly judge a woman in porn, so that's why I wanted to know about the women beyond what is seen on screen. Thanks all!

It might have helped, or changed some of the replies if you had stated this in the original posting.

There are all sorts of people performing in the adult industry. Pigeonholing any of them is pointless. They can have any personal baggage background, be from any socio-economic group, any political party, and any country of origin.

"...victims often emotionally separate temselves from the sexual act, which would make performing easier than for most of us..." I do not disagree with this statement that JAGnLA made. I don't think there are a higher percentage of performers who were abused than the general populace, however. It's just much easier to ask (and maybe get an answer) about an adult film performer's sexual history than it is, oh, let's say, your lawyer's.

well..what else would we be..but poor molested women, who in no way take advantage of the obviously rich and very happy people buying the movies, resulting in us making more money in 2 days then the rich men watching our movies... oooppsss!!!
i guess there are girls from every type situation, from rich to poor, from smart to dumb, but hey..isnt that like in any bussiness?
Oh and 1 thing.. Poor ass european countries??? What countries exactly are you talking about?As you do know we have more then 2 or 3 countries right??

To me, the 'poor ass European countries' assumption would have more weight if most American women in porn came from the poor ass American states (we do have a few, you know). Since that doesn't seem to be the case, I think we can dismiss that theory.

Even though it's complicated and there's lots of reasons women become starlets, that doesn't mean we should stop trying to answer the question of WHY. Part of the reason pornstars are interesting in the first place is because they're able to shrug off the stigma of public "intimacy." That makes them different from me, and so I find the psychology interesting, just as did the guy who started the thread.

So you've got a huge number of women in American porn. The group is too large to be all the same type of person, but I also doubt that starlets would count as a "Random" sample of American women. ...Meaning there are probably several types of women whom the porn biz draws from heavily. And those types of women would be more represented in porn than in the general population, I'd wager. We've explored negative things like the abused child group, but there's probably other categories of starlet that haven't even been identified yet. Like an "acting out after being invisible in highschool" group, etc. Or a "Renee LaRue" group of women who come to it later in life and bring a wealth of sexual knowledge and enjoyment with them. There's a posse of women who'd fall under "I'm doing this so I can feature, and I'm getting out of movies as soon as possible." Then there's "The Lifers" like Taylor Wane. Etc......

I'd like to know what's going on in Czech, for example. That country is being mined for flesh, and the supply seems ample. What is it about that country? Do they have a national psychology that makes it more acceptable for women to get naked for the masses? Do they have a tradition of being aggressively romantic or pro-sex & exhibitionism? And aren't tough economic times at least part of the reason why so many are turning to porn? I mean come on. That has to be part of the equation, right? (And I don't want to turn this thread into a sex slavery discussion since that's already been done. I just mentioned it because the "poor country" comment was taking some heat and the dude may have had a point.)
