Last week, I met a porn star. It was random- he's a friend of a friend. Perfectly nice guy, and very open and proud of his profession. I, in turn, was strangely fascinated-I've never given a whole lot of thought to the porn industry, but when presented with a real live porn star, I suddenly had a million questions. How did he get into this line of work? A friend asked him to do it one day, and he turned out to be good at it. Does he have a favorite porn partner? Oh yeah- some girl with real boobs. How many of them have real boobs? About 12%.
I guess I had subconciously assumed that porn stars frequently get tested for STDs, but again, I had never actually thought about it until Porn Star mentioned that the day before, "work" had been canceled because the girl had chlamydia. This made me almost proud of the porn industry- how responsible of them! The best part was the fact that Porn Star was the only one not drinking that night, because he had "work" the next day. I still giggle when I think about it- "work." Ha. I love it.
The sad part was that he rarely, if ever, has actual, real relationships, for multiple reasons- he doesn't get easily excited by normal girls, and they get turned off by what he does. I guess a lot of porn stars end up dating other porn stars, for the simple reason that they understand each other. I never thought I'd say this, but I kind of felt bad for the porn star.
Do you think, if it was an absolute necessity, that YOU could be a porn star? I know I couldn't... although, if I had to choose between porn star and prostitute, I'd go for porn star.
