Sadly, these new girls blow thru even faster than they ever did in the past, most will work at least a couple-three, four years, but now they last.....what....a year....maybe. It is confusing to have them come and go soooo fast.....that is why I wait and then jump on the new ones...to see if they have a long content line.....that sticks...around and not be flash in the pans. If they last a few years....there will be some evil bf, a rich dude or dopey new hubby or new baby that takes them away and what could be a long porn career is only a flash in the pan!

I'm guessing it's 50/50, some girls leave almost as soon as they enter porn while others stay in the business for years and build a career on it. It's always sad to see a favorite leave tho.

I'm wondering if the last HIV incident, the resulting increased governmental scrutiny and posturing, combined with a big decline in new scenes being shot, hasn't encouraged some performers to just pack-it-in?

The average female performer stays in the business for a few months, those who make a 'career' of it stay an average of 2 years, only a few last 3-5 years. This has been true for almost the entire existence of the industry.
Is there really a decline in scenes being shot? I doesn't feel like it to me, seems like my favorites each have like 3-5 new scenes a month(or maybe that's a low number).

There's definitely a decline, and although I know the performers and companies are hurting financially I don't think that's a a bad thing for most porn viewers, there was a lot of overproduction in the past. Hopefully when the smoke clears only the best companies will be left standing.
But Body Miracle still lists Mackenzee as escorting, OH YEAH! High five! But seriously though, I just started getting into that girl last year, so this kinda sucks. As for Shawna, after seeing more than one breakdown off set with that girl, it's a wonder she didn't quit sooner.
I've been waiting to hear this and I'm glad it happened. As much as I love Chayse, after her drug troubles, her leaving the biz is a HUGE step on the road to recovery and I wish her nothing but the best.
Aww hell no, AWW HELL NO! NO newcomer in 2010 could rival Monica's ass...it was ridiculous, and it will be missed.
Shiiiiiiit...last season's Entourage I knew she was half-way out the door.
Sasha Grey not performing anymore sucks especially for someone who claimed to want to elevate pornography in a substantial way. Another door opened and she was gone. So much for that.
^In some way she has managed to do that. She elevated it to the point where a girl that did hardcore stuff was able to leave it behind and find a career outside of it. She wasn't the first but she may be the best one up to now. It can give hope to some girls that there can be a life after hardcore porn in mainstream entertainment.
I left due to the HIV outbreak in Oct, the second in a little over a year. Yes, I was listed on BM'S site, however I just landed an awesome internship and will be going to school.... sothats out as well. I made a great deal of money, so i can say i made the most of my porn career, also chalked up many feature dancing gigs, and awards. I still have a couple bookings for feature dancing and after those are complete i will be taking the time off for school, may return to it may not who knows.

^ I guess you could say that. It appears that only Chris Streams and Jonni Darkko are using him since the 'injury.' And with those two guys cutting back on their releases, his appearances will be more and more less frequent. Beyond his scene with Yurizan Beltran in Darkko's Boob Bangers 8, I don't know of anything he is slated for in 2011. So, more off than on, and maybe off for good in 2011.

Is Savanna Samson still doing porn since she is no longer at Vivid?

Huh what? What happened to him? If he's out that's just as bad as any good female performer... he does a fucking good scene.
I don't know Mark Ashley's shooting history, but his scene with Marie Luv that was in Legs Up Hose Down was shot in late July or early August. Somewhere around that time. I'm not really sure when his injury occurred or how much time he missed.
Gentleman Jon, his injury was well before that. It's almost been a year since it happened. Like I said, even with his 'handicap' he is better than most other male performers. You can get a comparison by watching scenes after March 2010 verus scenes before. And yes, there is a noticeable difference.
Web cams, feature dancing and escorting pays more. Also it is a lot easier way of making money than shooting porn. I read a few ex pornstars comment on this on another forum. I expect to see more people leave the industry being the way it is.
^Sure, they may earn more from webcams, feature dancing and escorting, but whould they be earning so much from if they weren't doing porn? On what site were those comments from ex-pornstars? Edited by - MorganKane on 1/5/2011 12:48:50 PM Edited by - MorganKane on 1/5/2011 12:49:25 PM

Well Ms.Pierce, allow me to say thank you for your awesome performances, especially in BWA 17 (best "white screen" tease I've seen yet) and I wish you nothing less than an awesome and successful life outside porn. Take care!
Yea, but for all the average quick run throughs.....which you could almost say that porn babes are like NFL running backs.....3 years and then they start to run down. There are the Ninas, Gingers, Ambers, JuliaAnns, Sekas, Sharon Kanes, Shayla Leveauxs and many other Milfs that have long and appreciated careers. I just hate to see the "churn and burn" crowd that comes and goes. Edited by - alfan on 1/5/2011 8:52:39 PM
Does anyone know how the performers get checked now that AIM has been shut down or discredited? This has to effect the performers sense of security and may make it difficult for talent to stay active if the testing is not being done. This would kill the industry we enjoy and place it totally in MUD!!! Edited by - alfan on 1/5/2011 8:53:46 PM

Maybe some of the knowledgeable ADT'ers could enlighten us on exactly what happened. Not so sure why it was so hush-hush. I wonder if he had that thing insured?

Lot of the female stars are escorting and just not shooting scenes probably because the producers are not shooting as much or paying as much as they used to. It's also easier money. Get paid $500-1500/hr for letting an average joe hump you for 10 minutes .. the max time average joe will last before popping. Compared that to being on a 2-3 hour gonzo shoot getting used and abused for 45 minutes.

"Say it ain't so, Joe". Samantha has always been one of my all time Queens in the business. One classy lady who has some of the best orgasms I've seen. I'd really miss her.
Alfan, in your mention of long standing stars in our beloved industry my favorite is listed - Shayla LaVeaux. Lately she has appeared in nothing that I have seen reviewed or on the web. Do you know if she is retired or even semi-retired? And do you also know if she is feature dancing or not? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Does anyone else think she looks like a genetic hybrid between Sammie Rhodes and Kat? http://gallery.onlyteenblowjobs.com/otbscenes/nataliarossi_01/movie/images/nataliarossi_01_01.jpg
