Hi. Not a pornstar here. Being a pornstar [professionally] isn’t really fun.

They also say money can’t buy happiness, and my answer is the same: I’d like the opportunity to prove that to myself, thankyouverymuch.

Is it fun to make sweeping statements on the internet about things you have no first hand experience with? Yes, yes it is.

I am not the parent commenter.
Apparently, the process of filming pornography is really messy, arduous, starts to smell bad quickly, and many of the positions are uncomfortable. Not to mention the fact that many scenes need re-takes. That’s just the reality of filmmaking.
It’s also quite awkward to have a director and camera crew staring at you the whole time and giving you instructions.

There are some minidocumentaries and interviews on the subject. On top of surgery and drug use being basically required, it’s not a career you can work in for more than a few years for most and comes with various health complications. Plus, once it’s out there on the internet it’s harder to pursue any other career with a public image.

Its a classic “if you’re in the top 1% of the industry its pretty great, but shit for everyone else”.
You could say the same thing about NFL linemen or professional musicians. Spending half your life to develop a talent into something people will pay to witness, getting maybe two to five good years out of it if you’re lucky, and then retreating back to the low-skill service sector once you’ve destroyed your body.
Also, lots and lots of drug use and managers/owners who will exploit the fuck out of your few good years. And a disturbingly high rate of physical and sexual assault to keep the gears of industry turning profitably.

Even many of the top performers have told some absolutely horrendous stories, so even if it’s great for a time they’ve probably had to wade through more shit than the average porn star. Alongside this, even many of the best stars might have only been active for a small period of time, but have pumped out dozens/hundreds of films.
I’ve known some people that have got involved with sex work, some working on professional shoots/films, and while it was a very protected industry at times, they’ve told some nasty stories of in-dating, jealousy/sabotage, pressure to do work in camming alongside, and nudes they’ve sent to agents being leaked online without consent. Even the less grim parts, like a studio pairing two girls that had never met before, telling them to drive 2 hours to a set, and within 2-3 minutes having them shoot together, is all crazy to me.
With that being said, one girl I used to work with got involved with porn, and she seems to have loved it. She went from few career prospects to driving a BMW and having enough money to buy a house and seem financially stable. I guess it varies person-to-person.

They need to be brutal sometimes

Police brutality is the excessive and unwarranted use of force by law enforcement against an individual or a group. It is an extreme form of police misconduct and is a civil rights violation.
I think you meant to say that the police using force is not necessarily wrong, but that’s absolutely not what brutality is.

Less pixelated, so either they got it from another place to shop it or its legit.
The main picture has both eyes on the same position, as if the eye was copied, while this one has one slightly opened. This can be done in photoshop so idk but noticed it so I wanted to mention it.
Having these two pics, the second one has more chances of being the real one mainly because of 1.
