Movies, mostly. Specifically one movie with Lindsay Lohan called "The Canyons". That's lead to other, smaller things like speaking appearances and music videos and stuff. Edit: And a person that I would add to the discussion is Manuel Ferrara. IIRC, he worked with Rocco in the late 90s, then came to the US and has been here ever since. | |

Porn performer, yes. But in real acting, there's this thing called residuals, where you get a cut of the money that a movie makes. There's a base amount negotiated by the Screen Actors Guild, but if you're a big star you can negotiate it yourself. | |

That picture is exactly my point with Jenna. Her sunken-in face isn't the result of plastic surgery. It's the result of the loss of a lot of weight. If you can ever find pictures from around the same time as that after picture, look at her arms in them. Edit: And that's completely ignoring the fact that one of those pictures is heavily touched up and the other one isn't. Edited on Mar 17, 2013, 08:29pm | |

I'm saying Aletta looks better before surgery than after. Even with someone like Jenna, it's not like she'd never had plastic surgery before she became big (I might be wrong, but either he breasts have never been natural, or she got her first implants right when she started before anyone knew who she was). I liked the way she looked though most of her career, and even when it got less than appealing, I would argue it was more because of the weight that she had lost making all of her features look odd than it was purely the result of plastic surgery. The point I was trying to make with my examples is that to me, ruined implies hideous, implies deformed, implies people don't like looking at you when they walk past because it makes them uncomfortable. That's why I brought up things like burns and reconstructive surgery. I don't mean that you shouldn't be able to not find a girl attractive because she changed herself in some way that you don't like. It's just that they're not deformed, they're not hideous, they're just less attractive (possibly to the point of unattractiveness). | |

I absolutely hate it when people use the word ruined to describe a girl that got plastic surgery. It's entirely too strong a word to be used to describe a girl whom you find less attractive than you used to. People get ruined by getting burns over the majority of their body, by going through so much trauma that they need to have reconstructive surgery done. Breast implants? Lip injections? Nose jobs? Those are just inconveniences at worst. And in case you're wondering, no I've never seen a girl ruined by surgery, and there are very few that I think looked definitively better before the surgery as opposed to after (Aletta Ocean is the only one I can think of at the moment). | |

Almost no one shoots porn with 4K capable cameras at this point (you may have a feature or two shot with RED cameras, but that's it), and even if they did, you'd be looking at 4GB for a 20-30 minute scene, and no monitor that costs less than 5,000 (and no TV less than 10K) to play it on. It's entirely too much of a niche market for anyone to actually be using anytime soon. As an aside, truthfully, what I'm looking forward to for 4K cameras is better image stabilization for 1080p POV videos. | |

Nope. Hook the sensors up to a small amount of storage and a wireless module, be able to see the information they spit out on any wireless device. Edit: For example, have it connect to a special wrist watch that can show you the reading and throw some kind of alert if anything gets to a dangerous level (i.e. blood sugar for diabetics).

The biggest problem with IAFD as a data source for all porn scenes, especially when it comes to the last 5-10 years, is that they don't include any internet scene that hasn't come out on DVD. Which can make it thoroughly incomplete when it comes to things like number of scenes shot, and number of partners. | |

I disagree primarily because I think that when it comes to body modifications, I don't think porn influences mainstream as much as it is influenced (or steered) by it. Tramp stamps (or, honestly, all tattoos on women), for example, didn't become popular in the real world because they became popular in porn. The truth is that they became popular in the real world first for the type of woman most likely to get into porn (young, rebellious, from lower income households, with the propensity for rash decisions), and therefore became prevalent in the industry. Same thing with body piercings. | |

The closest you'll find is probably something like Fuck Team Five from Bangbros. While they will sometimes bring in ringers (pro guys), I know from the girls that many of their scenes actually feature amateur male talent. | |

I had this long drawn out reply typed, but I'm just going to leave it at this: The law disagrees with you. Which is why creating pornography is legal in some areas even though prostitution is not legal in those same areas. | |

It not that simple. And I'll give you a couple examples. If a girl only has sex on camera with her significant other, does that make her a prostitute? She's getting paid for it, but generally speaking it's something she was doing anyway. If a girl shoots porn, but only for her own website, is she still a prostitute? She's not getting paid directly for the act, but people are paying for the recordings she's making of it. Basically, does the simple act of making money off of people watching you have sex make you a prostitute? Whether that's directly (being paid for the scene) or indirectly (people buying copies of your performance)? And don't get me started on movies that aren't porn. Do those not count because the actors are supposed to be pretending? What about sexual contact that doesn't actually include intercourse (because people pay for that, too)? What about the times when they aren't pretending? Is Chloe Sevigny a prostitute because of her scene in Brown Bunny? | |

Have I talked to some? Yes. Have I even gotten girls casted and/or even a scene or two made based off of a scenario I wrote? Yes. Do I feel like if I were to have an idea for an entire movie, I could go to someone who would actually make it? Not really (although it technically happened once, it was for a compilation, not a movie of new scenes). | |

I meant do you really think some director looked at Angelina Valentine and said "Hey, why don't you get 1000cc breast implants and get your lips injected so many times it looks like you can't fully close your mouth anymore?" Also, you give the directors way too much credit when it comes to plastic surgery. From listening to and reading, literally, hundreds of girls, they get these surgeries because they want to have them. Many of them wanted to have them since before they even got into the industry, they just didn't have the resources to do so. If a girl does it because she wants more work, it's generally not because a specific person (or people) told her that she should get it, but a general idea she gets when she looks around the industry and sees places like Brazzers. | |

Keyboard shortcuts with the occasional mouse input. And many current graphics cards have an HDMI port (for desktops) and many laptops do as well. I actually have my PC hooked up to a monitor and TV at the same time, so I can decide what I want to watch it on. | |

IAFD isn't a perfect way to find out the age of a performer. They've been wrong before, and will be wrong again. It's not actually filled out by anyone who would have actually seen her ID with her date of birth on it. | |

Entertainers are people. People have political opinions. People express those political opinions. None of these things should be strange or weird. Or discouraged either, but that's another discussion for another day (the discussion being the objectification of adult performers to the point where it's a strange thing that they act like normal people). In fact, it would make sense for her to share her political beliefs after she retires, because she doesn't need to worry about upsetting fans anymore. | |

20 to 30 thousand a year? I don't think so, not for a new girl who is attractive. With going rates for scenes, it would only take about 35-45 b/g scenes (using the Kink.com rate of 700-900 per scene minus the 10-20% cut your agent takes) to get into that range, and a new girl can generally get that many scenes in about 3-4 months (at 4 months, that's only a little above two scenes a week), not to mention any other solo or photoshoot work they might get. And, if you are, say, Mia Malkova, you can probably make a good 100-150K in your first year if you play your cards right. The truth of that matter is that while it isn't a high paying job (or as much of a high paying job as it used to be), for many of the girls it pays better than most jobs they would have gotten with their level of education and prior work history (especially the younger ones). | |

Glasses free 3D (that isn't head mounted) will not be here for at least another 5 years, and when it does, I hope you don't want to move anywhere in the room while you're watching it. The technology technically exists, but not in any way that's actually ready to sell to consumers. | |

Most of the stuff that I find that isn't obviously amateur content, I do try to figure out where it came from so that I can attempt to purchase it. And not even necessarily out of guilt. It's because if I already know that they produced a couple scenes that I liked, there's a good chance that if I figure out the original source, there will be even more content there that I like as well, that isn't up on whatever site I'm getting it from, and is probably available in a higher quality as well (especially since I almost never use torrents anymore). Also, with a tube site, there's always a chance that whatever clip is it that I like will be taken down by the content owner. If I can find the original source and download/purchase from there, I don't have to worry about that anymore. Truthfully, nowadays a lot of what I watch there is either obviously amateur content, or content from 80s and 90s movies that may not be up on subscription sites (and even then I try to find out what movie it's from and see if I can find it on VOD sites). I don't go looking for specific content, I just browse around the site and click on whatever looks interesting. But while that makes it better, it doesn't necessarily make it justified. What grinds my gears, for lack of a better term, is people that believe that they are entitled to content just because it exists, and if they can't purchase it in exactly the way they want it, that makes it okay for them to take it. | |

I find this quote really, really funny in the fact that it's used in response to saying anyone who likes fake breasts must be "stuck in their infantile stage". If that's really what you think, you should preach it all the time, not just when you think it's convenient. | |

I know it took me a long time to answer this, but it's because I kinda forgot about it until today. I read some stuff about Mega (a new site from the creator of MegaUpload), and it reminded me of this thread. The answer isn't to wipe out piracy, because there will always be ways to transmit large files over the internet. That's one of the biggest good things about the internet. And many times, those large files will be content covered by a copyright. The "otherwise" is to make it more difficult to pirate. Tube sites literally make it easy to the point of being trivial to pirate content. You literally just type what you're looking for and bam, it's right there, and you start playing it immediately. I've been pirating content for well over a decade now. I go back to the days of LimeWire and KaZaa and WinMX and Direct Connect, when you had to download specific clients and then configure them and then search, and then you had to wait for your download to finish, and then you had to hope that the download was actually what it was supposed to be, because if it wasn't, you were going to have to download a whole 'nother copy and then check and see if that copy was correct. Not to mention people embedding any number of types of malware into the files. Torrenting made it easier, but you still generally had to wait for a download, there was still the chance that it wasn't what it said it was and the chance of downloading malware in addition to the file. Tube sites took all of those extra steps away and made it just as easy as going to the paysite itself, especially if you are the type of person that doesn't need to have the best quality video. And in case you missed this in the rest of the paragraph, yes, I was, and still am, a pirate. Yes, I do occasionally still use tube sites. I generally do consider myself one of those "conscientious pirates". I just don't pretend that what I'm doing is okay, or justifiable. It's wrong, and I know it's wrong, but I choose to do it anyway. | |

It worked enough to get her into Playboy, which in turn led to her becoming a full-fledged celebrity, so they made their money back many times over. Sometimes it's mainly a financial decision, and not a cosmetic one. | |

I disagree. If you really pay attention, it's not that no one is taking risks in porn. Risks are still being taken all the time. It's just that it's not up to the larger companies to do it anymore. Smaller companies take the risks, and if those risks prove successful, then the bigger companies copy the ideas and make them mainstream. I look at a company like Evil Angel and see a perfect example of that. I could even argue that that is actually what Apple does that keeps them successful. That what they do isn't necessarily innovate, but polish the heck out of other people's innovations and put a user-friendly UI on top of it. Edit: Now that I've thought about this a little more, I'm going to caveat it with something. One of the other things I've noticed is that companies seem nearly incapable of playing the long game. If given the choice of definite short term profits or probable long term success, it seems like the large majority of them will choose the short-term option. Some of this is shown in practices that are thoroughly despised here (i.e. pre-checked cross selling, not allowing downloads immediately after joining), but it manifests even in their business deals with each other.

People say this a lot (that porn isn't selling as much because it lost it's individuality and became too homogenized), but I think people have the order of events backwards. To me, the truth of what has happened/is happening is that the piracy + the economy took a lot of the money out of porn first, and then because of that the producers companies had to cut corners and stop taking risks in their content. What you're seeing now is, for the most part, the type of content that still sells well and/or the type of content that is cheapest to produce. The types of content you used to see but don't anymore, that's because that type of stuff just wasn't generating the same profit as what's currently "mainstream". Niche content starts disappearing because it's no cheaper than mainstream content, and by definition of it being niche, it appeals to a smaller audience, meaning that there's less potential customers to sell it to. | |

Conscientious pirates like to think that's the case. The truth is that it isn't. While you're right in saying that it isn't a 1:1 direct correlation, it's not a net positive impact either. While not everyone who pirates would have bought, to pretend like there's no one that pirates that would have bought otherwise is disingenuous at best and completely dishonest at worst. And as to your last statement. It's one porn company that owns many of the tube sites. They're called Manwin. And the reason they do is besides the fact that they're profitable on their own (Manwin makes more money from their tube sites than they do from all their subscription sites put together. Think about that for a second. They make more money off the free porn than they do the paid stuff.), is because it destabilizes the industry, making other companies worth less, making them easier to buy out (which is another of Manwin's stated goals, to buy as many companies as they can). | |

I liked 9 Songs well enough, it was just a little bit too boring for me. And the acting could have been a little better, but I can forgive that given how hard it would have been to find actors. Shortbus, I keep meaning to see but not actually seeing. I think I remember seeing it on Netflix, I'll have to check again some time to see if it's still there.
The film I was specifically talking about is Nymphomaniac, which according to IMDB is already in post-production. | ||

). And frankly I found it far less offensive than many other films that depict intimate relationships, whether they are implied or actually sexual. Seriously, what makes some syrupy "romantic" movie or some fart-and-stoner joke-saturated comedy any better?

Well, ignoring the argument about what "rights" are, which is an interesting one, there's the simple fact that what you're doing is illegal. It's copyright infringement (you have to be careful not to call it theft, or people will jump on you). You're more than likely never going to get caught or charged with anything, but it is still illegal. For my completely honest opinion, I know that people don't like to equate digital media to physical goods when it comes to things like this, but I do. If I were to buy all the ingredients and bake a cake, but I decide to sell that cake only to people willing to buy the milk from me, too, and to charge $20 per piece, that doesn't mean that it's okay for you to come in and steal some of my cake because you don't like how I sell it. The companies pay to produce/acquire the content, so they get to control how the content is sold. You don't like it, either find someone you do like or create your own content. Anything else, in my opinion, shows a sense of entitlement. | |

The first part of what you said, I'm generally okay with. The second part is an attitude that really, really gets on my nerves. Just because a company doesn't offer their content in a way that you want them to doesn't mean you have the right to steal/pirate/consume it anyway. If you don't like what they do, then don't consume their content. It's that easy. Anything else is being, at absolute best, completely and totally selfish (that's the nice version of how I really feel about it). | |

There's also a few porn movies that have gotten rave reviews in the past couple years for the story and acting in them. They're probably a bit more sex-centered than you're looking for, but you might find them pretty close to your ideal as well. Wasteland and Portrait of a Call Girl by Elegant Angel are probably the two most acclaimed ones. Both are available from the Elegant Angel website and on many VOD sites, if you want to check those out as well. | |

There are hardcore movies directed by mainstream directors out there. Not very many, but they exist. The problem is two-fold. The first is that generally speaking, they have to use unknown actors because very few "name" actors are willing to unsimulated sex on camera (Chloe Sevigny did an unsimulated blow job for a movie called Brown Bunny, but I can't think of that many others). The second is that because of the explicit nature, they don't have any place to show it besides film festivals. Theaters won't show it, most places that sell DVDs won't stock it, so there's not many ways to sell the movie, so there aren't many ways for the people that made it to make their money back. If you want to see a couple, check out 9 Songs by Michael Winterbottom and Shortbus by John Cameron Mitchell (fair warning: There's gay as well as straight sex in that movie). And I hear that Lars Von Trier is about to make a movie like that as well, but I don't know if it has actually gone into production yet. | |

I've never really been into wishing anyone was a porn star. Mainly because I don't believe any of them would look any better having sex than they do normally, and I don't at all believe they'd be better "performers" than the women we already have in porn. I'll generally wish that some of them will do nude scenes and/or photoshoots, and the majority of women already listed in this thread have, but once it gets to that point I could honestly care less about how much further they go, because I've gotten what I want already. | |

That's my thing: I'm spending all my time focusing on what is there, so I'm not really bothered by what isn't there. I'm looking at the picture that is on my screen, so I'm pretty oblivious to the sections of the screen that don't contain the picture. I've been known to completely ignore the letterboxing of movies on a 4:3 TV before (and there are many movies that aren't actually shot at 16:9). And technically, your example isn't actually applicable in this instance, because there isn't "more" to the picture when it switches between landscape and portrait. It's generally the exact same amount of pixels in each shot, just composed differently. I could make the argument that the portrait picture will generally contain more pixels dedicated to the model as opposed to the background, so it would have "more to the picture" than the landscape one. | |

I'm not so OCD that I care about whether the picture completely fills my monitor. If body parts get clipped, nine times out of ten that's the result of a bad photographer/bad cropping, not something inherently wrong with the portrait format. Also, even though most people here don't, I occasionally view pictures on my phone/tablet, which has a screen that is taller than it is wide in its most comfortable orientation.

Completely and totally disagree. If I'm looking at a picture of an actual person, I want the person filling as much of the frame as possible. If they're lying down, that means landscape. But if they're standing, I would much, much, much rather have the shot be portrait than landscape. I shouldn't have to do any extra work with the photo just because you don't like portrait shots. | |

That would be assuming they regret the tattoo. Which most of them don't (both in porn and in real life). Some might be disappointed by the fact that some companies won't book them (and that's what Leya said exactly, not that she was having a hard time finding shoots but that some companies will refuse to book her, and that's not exactly the same thing). But because tattoos are a personal thing, I think that if you asked many of them if they'd do it again, business be damned, they'd still say yes. Also, may girls see it as if they're already not getting booked for having a couple tattoos, what harm is one or two more going to do as far as that's concerned. And as far as girls getting more tattoos and coming back, that's an easy answer that's kinda related to the last thing you said. Very few girls retire with a plan to come back. The girls actually get the tattoos after they retire specifically because they've retired and now they can do whatever they want to their body without having to worry about what the fans think about it.

So what you're saying is that girls should be preparing for a career of being naked on camera by not getting (so many) tattoos even though they might have no plans of getting naked on camera at the time that they got them? | |

Usually, yes, but not always. I mentioned the Colorado movie theater shooter earlier, he lived through his incident.
You are right in saying that gun ownership isn't the problem. If you're looking for a long term, this will never happen again type of solution, the real answer is fix how we deal with dangerous mental health issues (i.e. not just drug them and give them a court-ordered shrink to see once a week and send them home). But the gun conversation is much easier to have (and legislate), so it's the one that we usually have. Edited on Dec 18, 2012, 10:15am | ||
