Rape, abuse and exploitation are shockingly common in porn and many victims are "stuck in the industry", according to an eye-opening Reddit discussion. An AskReddit thread on Friday invited porn stars to share the industry's "dirty secrets". But while some of the responses were humorous or stomach-churning, many were surprised at disturbing revelations.
I cried in the scene because my partner who had his own issues to be fair was too big for me and not acting his roughness. Our buyers enjoyed it, I was told.
The same user said there was "so much drug abuse" and "so many victims stuck in the industry". But you have no idea what it does to you when you meet a very young guy glazed out of his poor mind on god knows what, needing drugs to get hard, and underneath it all you realise he's scared and ashamed. She said a lot of people "work sick" and "fainting isn't uncommon", with "so many scenes where someone is hurling into a bucket off camera or running into the bathroom".
People have become normalised and desensitised to previous stuff, it's not enough for them, or it gives them the taste for more. The industry knows about this obviously but since it is by and large legitimised by consent and creators always have rank over performers, it looks the other way. A user going by the name Francostacos shared her disturbing experience of working on a "cam" site. You just had to have sex with this scrawny, smelly, deformed Burt Reynolds looking guy on the couch in his office after work.
She said if the girls turned it down "management would receive a complaint about you expressing racist views on cam or something, and you'd be let go".
