R18: Porn Stars Anonymously Reveal Behind-The-Scenes Dirt, Industry Secrets

I listened to an interview with Joanna Angel recently and she said that a lot of new actresses have raunchy smelling vaginas and don't realize it or don't care. So if she's doing a scene where she has to go down on a girl with a stinky vag, she'll stick her fingers in and then immediately put her fingers in the girls mouth. She said "if I have to taste it, you do too."
I found it hilarious and disgusting.

not a performer but i produce/direct/edit/shoot etc.
1: the angles are all fake. when you see that closeup of the dick going in and out of her, its bc they positioned to the side, and only like an inch or two is going in and out.
2: there is a lot of pausing, a lot of laughing, a lot of texting, etc in between shots.
3: the way we have to shoot the sex makes it not the most pleasurable. hence lots of faking.
4: the money shot. if a guy can't produce, there's a million ways to fake it, and they are used much more readily than youd think. no director wants to stand around while a guy who's been hard for 3 hours tried to jerk out a tiny little spit of cum. they'll move right to the tricks. fuck that.
5: yup, the smell. some shoots smell great, some smell pretty awful. i shot an all anal 4 way.

Sex really is smelly. Even if you're both washed, there's a certain stank to it.

According to a guy I met who had done a few videos, you have to stay hard for up to two hours.

I've rigged and shot for bondage porn before. The bulk of the effort is the tying. I love it, but damn does it take forever. God forbid you have a wiggly model.

Guy here.
It's actually pretty hard to get an maintain an erection on set. Making porn is pretty unsexy.
Sometimes they use fake jizz. Not all the time, but sometimes for creampie stuff.
Sometimes the actresses do orgasm for real. Sometimes it's 100% performance.
The on the street stuff is actually filmed on the street. They don't have a plan or permit for it, just go and get it done before people start asking questions. All performers have to sign papers and do contracts, so the girls they randomly pick up off the street was planted there from the start.

I remember being hungry a lot because I'd worry about being bloated on camera etc...there was one time I was filming and the director kept telling me off for staring at a plate of sandwiches for the crew.
That's when I realised porn wasn't my vocation in life and that I preferred a nice ham and cheese triangle cut sandwich over money and dick...and i love dick

Former porn producer here:

Anyone being penetrated can call cut.

Enemas are always done before anal scenes.

Men have to keep hard between setups, so a lot of the time they're just standing there jacking themselves off, or feeling up their co-star.

To follow that up, fluffers don't exist. I've heard that they did when they used to shoot porn on film, and the setups were longer.

Sex is really gross if you're not involved.

There is no indicator for dicksize. Feet, hands, height, Asian, it's all BS. The only stereotype that held true were black men dicks being huge.

Same thing for the size of vaginas. I've seen women around 5' take an 11" dick no problem, but a 6' woman holding back tears with a 9 incher.

Most gay porn stars straight guys. We had to bring in straight porn and viagra because the guys would get soft... because they were not gay. <--- EDIT: This was back in 03', things might be different now.

Body builder women are crazy horny.

The women are faking it most of the time. But when they're into it, the sex is actually really hot. We would try to cast couples or friends who are already intimate with each other. We did a girl-girl scene once where the director told each girl separately that the other thought they were beautiful, and excited to work with them. Those two women fucked each other's brains out, and were fucking each other between setups as well.

If you're a cameraman in porn, you will eventually get something on you.

Women make WAY more then men, but their acts are itemized. They're paid for what they do. Girl-girl, guy-girl, anal, DP, ATM, foreign insertion, etc. Back in 03', a girl could make $2,500 a scene depending on what she did. Men only around $500. But, if you're willing to get fucked by another guy, then your rate matches women.

Some porn is written, but most of it is improv.

Things I wish people would know about porn:

-That we undergo a rigorous testing protocol called the PASS system in which we are tested every two weeks for a whole panel of the best STD tests on the market. Porn stars have a lower incidence of HIV than the general population.

-That we don't get royalties from porn. It's a one-shot deal with a decent day rate but after that we don't see residuals. People often think we're loaded and it couldn't be farther from the truth for most of us.
