I guess you've seen Taylor Rain's announcement that she will no longer have sex on film, but direct and such. Dhoa! I loved her work. But like most things, after seeing multiple scenes of her's I did seek them out like earlier. Don't get me wrong when I see her stuff, its great, but I wouldn't buy a flick just to get her scene.

So it brings me to the strategy for girls like Taylor who blow and become huge porn queens. Maybe a year or two after getting huge exposure, and the interest begins to wane,is it not a good idea for the girl to step away and make a comeback six months to a year later. It always makes big news. Example everyone talking about Taylor Hayes' coming back.

I never take any entertainer under the age of 60 seriously when they claim to be "retired." The bottom line that a comeback promises is too much to ignore, so much that I think many retirements and band breakups are only facades for dopes like us to be willing to spend big money to break down.

She (Taylor) will be back. She'll miss the attention and the spendable income. It's just a matter of how long, and who will make the best offer.

You guys don't consider somebody that worked in porn going back to a normal 9 to 5 job? I personally had no problems to do that...

Of course we do.
But, NOT while the girl is still capable of pulling down many thousands of dollars vs. hundreds of dollars.
There aren't many jobs out there with $50-100k/per year incomes (and more for the hottest, in-demand girls) outside the porn industry. That goes for people who never worked in porn too.

Make as much as you can... as long as you can... and enjoy the ride. Walk away on your terms when you're ready. Hopefully, you've saved a bit. Maybe own a home by the time you hang up your fuck-me pumps :)

katja, allow me to respectfully disagree with you....unless your 9 to 5 is running a profitable company and reaping in the benefits....its a really, really tough transition for people to make.

the easy money and the amount makes it hard to pull yourself out of the business. you guys know that.

And I am really not talking about going 9-5. Say a girl was a superstar,but had been on the scene a while. Still hot, but maybe the jobs weren't rolling in as quickly as before. I am not suggesting that TR was having any issues finding work. Let's just say a girl was one of the superstars, but not the talk of the town anymore. Why not announce retirement - do the directing thing, dance and keep making the money. Then after a time, announce the big comeback. Then everybody is posting on this and other sites - Hey great news so and so is coming back. Then the girl captures the buzz again for a time. IE Tiffany Mynx.

I wouldn't need thousands of dollars a month and I would be perfectly happy doing a boring office job. Just because a girl would be able in your opinion to make 50-100K a year doesn't mean that she really does and other than that doesn't mean she wants to do porn forever.

Well, as much as I wish Taylor the best in her new endeavors, a return at some point would appear a safe bet, if things along the family front, lose their appeal, or if her directorial push comes up wheezing.
Despite a rather youthful reach for the exit, shes seen her fair share in the hardcore trenches, and performed like a born natural,from the start. Unfortunately, thats a bit more than I can say about her recent directorial release,
"Spunk in the Trunk". A promising enough title, and one, that if she would of merely directed the spunk in each scene, toward her trunk instead, might have had a chance of delivering the audience to their intended destination.

That said, there should be no shame whatsoever, in returning to buckle on, a once familiar pair of fuck-me pumps,
especially a pair thats been so well broken in.

You and most other girls are better than settling.
Happy working outside of porn, sure. But not settling.
Is $50-100k/per year incomes (and more for the hottest, in-demand girls) way off base or something?

Not want to do porn forever?
I'm a, humma humma, er, uh, but, giddidy-giggidy speechless
