Are real women like women portrayed in porn? -Mild trigger warning-

The actors themselves exist, but they often have to go through intense ordeals (surgery, risk of infectious diseases etc, constant medical examination.) to maintain and attain expected body image.

Basically it boils down to genetics, you either have it or you dont, for example actors are handpicked from a pool of probably very mediocre people, they are real people who often had different backgrounds before applying or being 'talent spotted' by people in the industry put out in the field and guys who know a guy who can whisper in the ear of another guy etc.

I could sign up right now with a job application form to a independent studio with low standards and drudge it out with the lowest quality of work presumably, the hyper realistic people only get so far up high because of what they sacrifice too (peers, public image etc). Not to mention that its a full on job, that is both physically and mentally exerting.

They exist out there, but in many cases you wouldn't want to meet them anyway, as often beauty is power, and its easy to get drunk on that and inflate self imposed worth.

 

Only when they're horny

 

Yeah porn is very unrealistic. There's nothing wrong with being adventurous in sex and trying different things with your partner - but a big part of what is portrayed in porn is all about degrading the women.

The whole standard routine in porn, where you have intercourse non-stop for like 40 minutes rotating through like 5 different positions - not how it actually works. I mean I guess it could, maybe I'm not the norm.

I'm sure there are lots of people who have sex like you see in porn. But... if you meet a girl who likes it when you choke her and smack her around during sex and then wants you to cum on her face - probably not a very healthy, high self-esteem person you want to spend a lot of time with.

I remember someone saying that in a video, porn just just filmed prostitution. The reality is that most porn actresses, and actors too I'm sure, are broken, dysfunctional people who have incredibly sad histories of abuse and trauma which led them down that road. To decide that what you have to offer the world is to have sex on film so people can masturbate to your image - that's an absolute tragedy.

 

You reminded me of this family guy skit:

And they make it out like it's from a hotel room or someone doing a home made videos but in fact it's all part of the porn shit. Found out that the hard way.

 

i used to watch a lot of gay porn n they affected my fantasies. what started as two guys making out turned to bdsm n gang bang n other violent porno stuff which also influenced my fantasies very much. n it made me feel like dirty afterwards. immense self-hatred.

 

But men are disposable and women are always wonderful in our modern feminist culture of the west. So that's the main reason the focus is all on the girls - at least from the standpoint of them being the victims of pornography. Women want to be treated equally but not when it comes to having the same level of moral agency and responsibility.

Absolutely, all the guys involved in the porn industry are just as broken and traumatized people deep down as the women are.

The porn industry is portrayed as this big machine run by cruel men who get rich exploiting poor, innocent girls, but that's complete nonsense.

Nothing new about these kind of double standards though - A man who beats his kids is a monster, a woman who beats her kids is stressed out and overwhelmed. Right?
