There seems to be 5 types or categories of female porn performers based on their attitude, performance and willingness to do tricks*
Going by that here are the 5 Main Types of Female Porn Performers:
TYPE 1 : TOO PRETTY FOR PORN
This type of chick really shouldn't be doing porn at all. Not because shes too good for it but because shes not good at it. She's doing it but she doesn't dig it...not really. This type of girl is usually supermodel pretty and should be on a runway but for some reason chose to do porn and is in it purely for the money and that's it. Maybe she lacks any professional marketable skill, or shes looking to make quick money or she doesn't think its all that bad and gets over because shes so fine looking. But at the end of the day she's just taking dick.
How you can tell is.. she'll do the kama sutra positions but her performance is mostly noise and fuck faces. She doesn't like facials (altho she MAY do it) she doesn't do anal or spitting or any of the other tricks most porn stars do. In her personal life she may not even LIKE sex that much. Just get her naked..fuck her..give her her money so she can get the hell out there. This type of chick is usually an addict of some sort. Mostly because she needs to numb out in order to deal with her choice of career.
Average time in porn: 3-6 months..sometimes a year or two..but this chick usually burns out fast.
TYPE 2: THE FREAK ON AUTOMATIC
This chick WILL do the tricks and stuff..she will do the spitting and choking and facials. But its more a matter of par for the course for her.
This type of chick may or may not be an addict but she may have abuse in her background or some psychological issue that makes her believe she should do whatever whenever with whomever and she's in porn because at least she can get paid for doing this shit. But if you watch her eyes when she's performing there's really nothing there..much like a stripper who zones out while shaking her ass on stage
On the whole she generally gives MUCH better performances than the TYPE 1 chick. And if matched up with a person and the chemistry is right she'll give a GREAT performance. But she's just taking dick too..she's just willing to do the tricks as well.
Average time in porn: 3-5 years..until she has a religious conversion or gets married or has children..she usually comes back to the industry for a few more years when things don't work out though. She usually works escort as well.

TYPE 3: THE TRUE FREAK
This chick LOVES to fuck and get fucked. Her lifestyle is about having sex and porn is just a natural avenue for her. She may be a swinger so she's fucking like a beast in private as well as in front of the camera. She knows how she likes it and isn't shy about telling her partner how to do it or doing it herself.
For this type of chick its about the GET OFF. She wants to cum as much as the dude and she's not shy about showing it. She RARELY has an off performance and brings it to every video. In fact she might get visibly frustrated if the guy can't keep up with her. She usually isn't on drugs or an alcoholic because sex is her drug of choice. She too may do escorting but she's much better at that as well.
Average time in porn: long term...10+ years..she'll be performing well into advanced age.
TYPE 4: THE MERCENARY
This chick is all about her business. She sees the sex industry the way Trump sees real estate or Bill Gates sees technology. Something that they are naturally good at so they corner the market and try to conquer the industry. She is NOT an addict but she is a freak...just in front of the camera. She's not into women personally but she will do gay for pay. If she does do the more extreme tricks best believe someone is paying her out the wazoo for it.
While she'll put in consistently good to great performances like the type 3 chick...unlike the type 3 chick she almost NEVER cums on camera. That she saves for personal activity if she does have an orgasm on camera she's as surprised as everyone else. While the type 1 chick doesn't have orgasms because shes too drunk or high and the type 2 chick doesn't because she's psychologically fucked and no one ever cared enough to help her have one. The type 4 chick CAN get off but chooses to save that for her personal relations. This is also the kind of woman who moves BEHIND the camera and produces or directs her own shit.
Average time in porn: in front of the camera..5-10 years depending on how well her fan base supports her. behind the camera..decades. She's the one who retires and stays retired from performing or escorting.
TYPE 5: THE WELL ADJUSTED FREAK
This is the kind of woman who is an amalgam of all the good aspects of types 3 and 4 only with none of the icky psycho shit or addictions going on or the overly aggressive sexuality. She was raised in a decent family and may have their blessing or at least backing on her career choice. Since she is in her right mind she may have only a few tricks listed on her resume but not all. She may dabble on the dark side (bondage, fetish play) as well but its mostly out of curiousity and personal interest more than money. She's a big time exhibitionist (of course) and LOVES being the center of attention. The chances of her being a pornSTAR as opposed to just porn PERFORMER is great.
The type 1 chick becomes a pornstar simply because shes that beautiful...lotta style but no substance.
The type 2 chick usually lucks up on pornstardom she's mostly the utility performer and likes that position. Every once in a while you'll see a type 2 pornstar but she doesn't wear it comfortably.

If the type 3 chick becomes a pornstar its by sheer force of personality and performance.
The type 4 chick lobbies her way to pornstardom. But thats just a path to create her own brand and production company and stable of performers herself.
The type 5 chick is the stuff porn stars should be made of. A good performer, freaky enough to love the attention and clear headed enough to do the business.
Average time in porn: around 10+ years. She's good natured enough to not get bitter about the industry and usually has socked enough money away not to have to go back to the business when she's finally done.
which porn performers fit into those types?
*(anything outside of normal sex is a trick, as in a circus act, to me..e.g inserting a bat into the anus, double and triple penetration are tricks, not sex)

I can easily see who you are thinking of with most of these categories. I just don't want to name people that are visiting these forums and who I do not know personally. There is usually more to people than narrow characteristics, and porn performers are indeed people.

ONE OF THE BEST POSTS ON THIS BOARD I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!
++++++++1!!!!!!
You sir have nailed the babe NATION of Today's porn market. So, great post and much thought in putting this post together. As I was reading I was thinking about each category and which chick today, past and Present fits this bill.
I would love to see other posters comments and who they think fits this bill!!
The names Seka, Dasha, Lea Demae Sharon Kane, Casey Parker, Cloe Jones, Ashleyn Gere, Janine, Ginger Lynn, Julia Ann, Lisa Ann, Jenna Haze, Shyla, Tera Patrick, Bree Olsen, Tayron Thomas, Autumn Haze, Catalina, Courtney Simpson, Haley Paige, Audrey Hollander, Tyla Wynn and all the Blondie's come to mind as I fixate on which fit what and who is a REAL PORN STAR and those that don't match!!!
Most girls in the business today fit the model you gave, you see few of the ones that just love to fuck, show it, use it and really want you to enjoy the experience.
Someone, that blows that pisses me is the Shelly Lubben types that come in reckless and leave burned out.....stating we are the reason she sucks.QQQQQQQ
Excuse me you fake!!!!! Jersey, Sierra, Brooke Balantine, Toni James etc.....

I see some truthiness to your categories. May I offer some alternatives?
I would say the most common category is "I like sex, I can do porn". These are the girls that are in and out because they gave it very little thought. But that's probably the way they go through life. 1-3 videos
regrets - if anyone finds out about this I will kill myself.
Next up - I need to pay for school and I like to shop, and I'm as hot as any girl I've seen doing porn. Their career may be sporadic for 1-3 years, until they've earned enough for the next phase of their life.
regrets - Only if she thinks she can hide it.
The hot chicks - Conditioned by way too much anonymous sex to not get paid for it. Either no other marketable skills or nothing seems as interesting that would come close to the money. Doing in front of the camera is no big deal and even a turn-on. 1-5 years
regrets - looks don't last forever, now what do I do.
The nympho, or born for porn. It starts off as another sexual experience to try. Then they are hooked on the money, attention and the sex is challenging. She's found her true calling and she'll be around for awhile. God bless her.
regrets - I should have started sooner.

Of course there will be exceptions but the categories mentioned here do cover a lot of girls in the industry. But I have to say I think all of them have their places and fulfil a role.
The "Too Pretty For Porn" girls are great to watch. Yeah, many of them don't give explosive performances but sometimes just seeing a girl with model looks get nude and have sex is a turn on. That's the main appeal of many of the contract girls. There are several girls that I think are incredible looking but put on a merely "decent" performance but I enjoying watching just based on their looks.
I don't agree that they usually have short porn careers. Many of those girls end up at companies like VIVID, DIGITAL PLAYGROUND or WICKED. At those companies they are put on a pedestal and never have to step up their game and give better performances. They just need to stay pretty.
The "Freak On Automatic" is just interesting and or fun to watch. I like the "Wow! I can't believe she did that..." aspect. I don't like a steady diet of that type of performer but at times it's just fun to see how far a girl will go. I think these girls are the backbone of today's industry because they are the "go to girls" for the over the top stuff that many performers won't do.
I know many of you get waaaay caught up into if the girls really into it or not but I don't really scrutinize anywhere near that degree. At times I don't care that the girl isn't "into it". As long as she doesn't look like she hates it or is uncomfortable I'm fine.
I have no problems with "The Mercenary" for the same reasons I mention above. I think it's possible to give a great performance and not be "into" the guy or have the attitude of "This is business". In fact I think sometimes a scene is enhanced by the fact that the girl isn't into the guy or thinks of the scene as "business". If she does all the right things it still can be a strong performance.
The "True Freak" can be great but it's not always a slam dunk. I can think of some girls I think are really "into it" but still have a list of things and/or people they won't do. In my mind being "into it" and really loving sex and/or being into the guy doesn't always mean the most explosive scenes.

I think you would find an interesting contrast between what fans *think* a girl is like, and what she really *is* like.

^Skronker, isn't that where you and your podcasts would come in? Giving us insight into a girl that we couldn't get through just watching her movies?

I agree with you totally on that. Like most people I have my perceptions of the girls but it might have nothing to do with reality. I've listened/seen to lots of girls being interviewed and I'm sometimes surprised to hear them say what they actually enjoy and things they didn't becuase watching it on film doesn't always match up to my perceptions.
There have been girls who say they aren't all that into anal but watched their scenes I assumed they loved it. Then there are those who say they love it but I thought they were merely doing it for the extra money.
Some of the girls I (and others) think aren't into the sex because they do lackluster/soft performances may actually love doing scenes but just aren't into the harder pounding, crazy positions and over the top stuff so many other girls are doing.
Much of it comes down to some girls being better actors than others and people's perceptions of how a girl is supposed to act when she's into it.

The more interesting question is "Do you think you fall into any of those catagories?". I pesonally don't think I've ever seen you perform.
Another question for you. Do you think it's bad or leads to bad performances if a girl is doing porn strictly for the money?

Where does Ava Devine sit on that list? she is either the queen of freaks or the best most mercenary ever performer ever for the things she used to do.
Either way she is amazing.

Ava who is now getting married and out would probably consider herself a true freak. She really enjoyed her career and really enjoyed making her fans happy. She is one of my favorite clients. She is the definition of a true Pornstar. One of the few in the industry.

well very few will fit neatly into those catogories but its all speculation...its also something of a commentary on female pornstars performances.
yes its difficult to see whos really "into it" but sometimes you CAN see it in a lackluster performance or very fake acting. If you watch enough porn and have something a of fairly active sex and dating life then you can tell when a woman generally speaking is into it or not...sometimes.
Holly West for example..in the few scenes I've scene did well but you could tell it was just acting for the most part.

I kinda giggle at your responses...to make assumptions of who and what the performers are like...sure, there are things you can read out there on the net that describes some performers, but you are still only getting one side of the story...to me I am not #2...never have been or will be an addict. I love sex, but thats what it is sex...I started in this business after swinging with my husband for 4 or 5 years and we decided it would be hot for me to do it...money is good, but I also enjoy showing my body...I dont have to cum every time I perform, but always enjoy my work

jenna jameson..going by her own biography between 2 and 4

i added a 5th type because I realized that not everyone in porn is fucked up in the head in some way..
so this may get more responses and participation..
TYPE 5: THE WELL ADJUSTED FREAK
This is the kind of woman who is an amalgam of all the good aspects of types 3 and 4 only with none of the icky psycho shit or addictions going on or the overly aggressive sexuality.

The type 1 chick becomes a pornstar simply because shes that beautiful...lotta of style but no substance.

Average time in porn: around 10+ years. She's good natured enough to not get bitter about the industry and usually has socked enough money away not to have to go back to the business when she's finally done.

I think out of respect and in an effort to do any sort of damage to any of the girls rep if names are tossed out they should be people no longer in the biz.

its all speculation and hypotheticals... and anyway..its not like anyone whose seen the girls perform wouldn't be thinking the same thing anyway.
Are they abused?? who knows..
Are they addicts?? who knows..
unless they admit to it or its fairly obvious..like in the case of Chasey Lain whom I would put somewhere between 1 and 2..
if their career can be ruined by bullshit on a messageboard then they didn't have much of a career to begin with..

Sometimes when it's not busy and I'm making lists of pornstars,
I'll divide them into natural categories like
All Star (Lisa Ann)
Rare Gem (Renna Ryann)
Euro (since most seem to have a similar flavor or approach as a performer)
Spinner (Maya Hills)
Lusty Titter (Ava Devine, Krystal Summers)(might be cute too, but lust is the dominant quality)
Lipstick Titter (Abbey Brooks, Nina Mercedes)(might be explosive too, but cuteness is the dominant trait)
Turbo Lesbian (Soph Santi)
and the Hall of Begrudging Respect
(this is reserved for Debi Diamond / Hillary Scott types who are too crazed for my tastes but I can see they're really trying hard.)
While pornstar psychology remains fascinating and should probably be studied at the university level with us as the teacher's assistants and with a topless pornstar pannel of experts brought in to answer questions, it's important for us to remember that one "Type" of performer may blossom into another type as they mature and progress along the sex-on-camera learning curve. Some relax their face muscles and get sillier and more comfortable as time goes by, thus making the viewer more comfortable and moving her from a 1 to a potential 5 on that scale. So it becomes "where are you along the path?" rather than being labeled and stamped on the forehead with a permanent barcode. So what I'm saying is that along with masturbation should come a detached Hindu meditative state that recognizes and respects the dharma of all nudity.
