I was on Omegle earlier talking to this guy who was apparently a film editor for a "modeling agency" (a porn company) and it was a really..... interesting conversation.
Apparently, as good as it is an industry to get in to (some have had alot of success), it's also really soul-crushing. He told me horror-stories of people breaking down into tears and passing out mid-scene from all the drugs they had in their system. People showing up totally coked-up and stumbling around and not being able to anything. Then of course directors being complete assholes and fights on-set among actors and actresses and all kinds of other situations. And I just find it mind-boggling....
I mean, I'm a guy and I enjoy porn as much as the next guy but FUCK... I cant even watch it the same way. I mean, you see these scenes and you already get this sleazy feeling but that's part of the fun of it (for some people I imagine, my "collection" is pretty tame compared to the norm these days). The main reason this is such a crazy thing to me though is because I have a friend who loves porn so much he'd like to start directing his own. Hell, even I thought about joining him. And I've spoken to people to were interested in doing it too.
And a fellow Redditor pointed out to me that many of my favorite pornstars had HIV. HOLY SHIT. I cant even jerk off to that anymore.... Okay, I can but not if I stop to think about it like most guys do after a while (we randomly do this sometimes if there's a break in the action). So yeah.... It was just something I'd like to share to everyone in the off-chance you weren't aware of all this.
