Well, sure, but sometimes people feel as if they have no choice. Some girls actually do like the industry, but definitely not as many as you'll hear raving about it in interviews with porn magazines. There's a reason they're doing it.

 

I've asked two strippers about that very fact in the past few weeks. One of them makes around $1600 a week (tax free, of course) but says she could do much better if she wasn't so lazy. The other says she makes $600 a week, but she usually only works one night a week.

Is the potential there? Considering the effect of taxes, yes. Of course, then there's the career arc, retirement horizon, difficulties of lifestyle, etc.

If I had a very short time horizon and believed I could escape the issue whereby strippers spend everything they make, I would much prefer stripping to banking.

 

I've never messed with porn girls, but the word is that they are tested far more regularly than your average sexually-active girl. One has only to look at the industry's response to the occasional outbreaks -- immediate discovery followed by total quarantine -- to see that safety these days (at least in American porn) is critical.

Still, if I was going to try to play around with one, I'm not sure if I could get the idea of her being a disease-ridden scumbag out of my head. Sad that I could be so limited... but perhaps it's a self-protective biological thing.

I was thinking about all that testing myself the whole time. You'd probably be better off with a pornstar than with some random girl at a bar. Those pornstars probably get tested like once a week if they are actively filming.

The only thing is that some diseases there are no 100% accurate tests for and many people don't get symptoms but can still pass on a disease.

But I agree with your point about the p*rnstar being cleaner than a bar slut.

There are very few 100% accurate tests for anything. 99.995% is close enough for many people. And, y'know, condoms help too if you're a guy... which I'm not.

Also, American porn stars typically go through constant wide-spectrum testing that will catch asymptomatic diseases. Even if it's asymptomatic, it will show up on a test.

However, I don't think pornstars would be all that good at sex. Think about it -- they're constantly supposed to be lined up correctly for the camera, worried about how they look, making sure their face is aligned properly, concentrating on putting their bodies into the most attractive line... who wants to deal with that? Give me a real live amateur any day.

 

Yeah, but there is no really accurate test for asymptomatic Herpes or HPV. There is something that test for the Herpes virus, but that could also just mean that you had a cold sore before and not anything genital, a test with out symptoms doesn't help.

Anyway, this part of thread is depressing and nasty, so I'm gonna stop.

I think the reason some guys want p*rnstars is NOT because they will be good at sex, I think they want them 1) Because they are usually hot 2) It's something they could brag about 3) those girls will do ANYTHING!

A lot of us are not so lucky to have really kinky girlfriends.
