I was watching Belladonna porn recently and she really seems like she'd be there regardless of whether there was a camera/paycheck or not. Like, what I'm watching also matches her private life.
How could I have forgotten the immortal Annette Schwarz? She was so incredible and truly seemed to be into every depraved act she performed. Here is how much Annette Schwarz appeared to enjoy sex - I was going to include two of my favorite performers on this list, Gianna Michaels and Sandra Romain. As good as they were and as much as they appeared to enjoy the sex, Annette was simply on a different level.
If there were a sex olympics, Annette would have won many gold medals.
Excellent call on Belladonna. I particularly like how she's so studiuos and attentive with respect to sex. Take the BTS of EvilAngel's re-release of Carbon Girl as an example.
To answer your question -- the names that immediately came to my mind were Mia Malkova: her smiles are intoxicating. Jillian Janson: based on interviews, she's a fellow sex nerd and I love that. Also Eva Angelina, based on interviews, she was in it for the sexperience first and foremost.
Most of the ones that I thought were really into sex are no longer active. I can go back as far as Susan McBain and Colleen McBrennan days all the way up to one of my favorites, Lily LeBeau. Belladona seems to be a favorite with some on the thread but I always preferred Veronica Avluv for those really over the top scenes.
Alexis Crystal This girl has performed pretty much every sex act known to mankind & smiled thru them all. She certainly seemed to enjoy her line of work.
Adriana Chechik has spoken about her love for craft, particularly anal sex. It appears to be her preferred method, both on camera and in her personal life.
Kristina Rose, Alexis Texas, Sunny Lane, Bobbi Starr, Kimberly Kane, Belladonna, Jenna Haze, Amber Rayne, Lexi Belle, Gianna Michaels... huh, they all seem to be the same time period. I wonder if that, more than anything else, defines how the industry has changed?
^I believe you are correct but ultimately that is a moot point since this thread is predicated on the fantasy that performers who looks like they enjoy what is happening on screen must really enjoy it as opposed to just being really good performers. I don't see anything wrong with that fantasy but it's not one that I'm able to believe. I'm usually satisfied if I think the performer is okay with what she is doing and appears comfortable.
Pornstars who set and keep their limits may be happier than the rest. If they say "I will never do anal" and then never do anal, they are less likely to need the drugs that so many need to numb the pain or accept what their lives have become.
The specific items on the no list don't matter that much. Recognizing and refusing to go beyond their own limits of personal safety and tolerance can help pornstars have longer, happier, and healthier careers.
