1. Everything happens at home
Today, porn shoots often take place not on a dedicated set, but in the apartments or homes of directors, producers, and other industry professionals. Colleagues, figuratively speaking, visit each other’s homes to work, thus ensuring a variety of interiors in a single film. This approach creates the illusion of watching an amateur video—as if an ordinary couple were having sex at home.
2. A couple of days are enough for a film
A full-length film is typically shot in 2-4 days. For a high-quality film starring porn stars, the process can stretch up to 8 days. Sometimes a screenwriter is on set to help with dialogue, but often the actors simply improvise.
3. Sexual intercourse is often interrupted
Don’t believe your eyes when porn stars engage in sex in complex acrobatic positions for several minutes. Most likely, this scene is stitched together from several 30-second scenes, in between which the actors managed to smoke a cigarette, stretch, and reapply lube.
4. Squirting actually looks different
The female squirt, or orgasm, has become popular thanks to porn. However, the fountains of fluid we see on screen bear little resemblance to reality. To create a vivid image, actresses pour water into their vaginas, hold it there, and expel it at the right moment. Of course, not every woman can do this: it requires training and rehearsal.
Some porn stars use a different trick. Before filming, they drink a lot of water with electrolytes. This causes fluid retention, and their urine becomes colorless. When they need to fake a violent orgasm, the actress releases a powerful stream. But it’s not the kind of viewers expect.
5. Sperm is made from liquid soap
Even the most hypersexual macho man can’t produce the amount of sperm shown in porn. In many cases, it’s artificial. For example, hand soap can simulate copious ejaculation. For a dramatic ejaculation, actors squeeze a tube of white liquid hidden under their penises at the right moment. This maneuver requires a certain amount of dexterity, and much also depends on the skill of the cameraman.
6. Before anal scenes, an enema is given.
In addition, to ensure everything goes smoothly, actors sometimes have to fast the night before or stick to a strict rice diet.
7. Not everyone is cut out for porn.
About 99% of men looking to make extra money in porn fail the casting process because they’re physically incapable of performing. More specifically, they’re incapable of maintaining a hard penis in public and under the director’s glare.
Filming a single scene takes 1.5–2 hours. During this entire time, the actor must maintain a strong erection. Between takes, the hard workers don’t rest, but masturbate or cuddle with their partners to maintain their performance. After orgasm, the fighters are given a 20-minute rest, have lunch, and then return to the machine.
8. Viagra is not welcome on the site.
Viagra often causes redness in the skin, which can make actors look unattractive on camera. For this reason, directors discourage the use of stimulants (although sometimes it’s unavoidable).
9. Guys stay in the profession longer than girls
Statistically, the average age at which people begin their porn career is 22 for women and 24 for men. Moreover, the former burned out after about three years, while the latter, after four. By comparison, in the 1970s, porn actors remained in the profession three times longer: 12 years for men and nine for women.
10. Men are in great demand in porn
Here are some more interesting gender statistics. Of the top 100 most frequently appearing porn stars, 96 are men. Of these, the top 10 have had an average of 1,013 on-screen partners.
The top ten most prolific (in terms of creativity) porn actresses have much more modest results: an average of 148 lovers during their career.
11. Women earn higher fees than their sex partners
Although men have it tougher, porn is one of the few industries where women earn more than those with penises. For example, a mid-level American actress will earn $800–$1,000 for a heterosexual scene, while her male counterpart will earn only $500–$600. When it comes to celebrity salaries, women earn up to $2,500 per scene, while men earn $1,500.
What explains this injustice? It’s simple: the main consumers of porn are men, and they watch it for the seductive women.
12. The risk of contracting AIDS in porn is minimal
Every two weeks, actors are tested for sexually transmitted infections. The HIV infection rate among porn industry workers is lower than among the general population.
13. Office romances happen on porn sets.
Porn actors find it difficult to find partners outside the industry. After all, not everyone can accept this type of work and not feel jealous of their partner’s work. However, the workers themselves are well aware of the specifics and are able to detach themselves from the industry. It is precisely because of this mutual understanding that romances often blossom among coworkers.
