One older -- dare I say elderly porn star pointed out charities did not want his money but they had no problems taking politicians money and I agree with him politicians out rank porn stars when it comes to let us say ethical behavior.
(For me starting with the The White House and work your way on down....way down -- but back to the documentary. Note: I have heard way out stories about certain NY politicians including one who is bi-sexual that I won’t mention but it is a shocker.)
The older gray haired man -- his language -- the way he talks of women except Tera Patrick who is a stunning woman -- this guys "women speak" is grotesque and he appears after porn to be a lonely man. I am convinced porn dogs are lonely people in general.
Another old retired porn star that clearly loves his wife and children and his daughter a bright articulate teenager is at peace with her dad’s past. He admits he had large breasts in junior high and was the butt of jokes so being a porn star was a way to reconcile the bullying.
Margold once ran the biggest porn agency and warned potential wannabe porn stars you don’t escape your films. They stick with you forever. Through out the film you see interviews with stars who do try to escape it or find unique ways to reconcile it including with their children if they have them.
One porn star after the porn ends gets a license to sell real estate only to be fired when someone recognizes her and than she gets cancer. All the porn stars interviewed are survivors and there is no hiding the dark side of porn and the pit falls they all suffer except Nina Hartley. I am not saying she is hiding anything but she is the only one that seems like a top psychologist sex buddha who has clearly set ideas and boundaries on how to deal with porn and for her the porn world is on going with her receiving an award for a non-sex role.
Some actors have so modified their faces it is hard to look and that makes me think of Jenna Jameson the porn star turned first mega woman mogul hit a telephone pole the other night and getting arrested for drunk driving. Based on her Michael Jackson like surgeries that make her unrecognizable perhaps she too can’t quiet the demons of her porn work?
Asia Carrera has a 200 IQ and got in to porn to escape being a nerd but she also wanted to feel she was desired. Mensa -- the high IQ Society -- did not want to include her as a member because of her porn history but finally relented. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia_Carrera
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mensans see her name and professions.
When her 2nd husband died Asia was broke and turned to her fans via her on line website and they more than rescued her and her two beautiful children with financial donations and gifts.
This is not a great film and there are so odd characters including a man who wrote a book on porn that no offense but he struck me as really weird but it was interesting to me.
As I said I consider porn stars far more open and honest than our politicians.
There is nothing glamourous about the porn world that is for sure. Their version of The Oscars is far more pure and honest than the Hollywood version and I see almost no difference between Hollywood films and porn....little to none.
