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.
