Porn Star deaths - Why?

13 posts in this topic

An interesting article about the recent spat of porn star deaths.  I can envision many of the stated problems (calls drying up, idle periods, aging concerns, family interactions, etc.) happening in our corner if the sex industry.

Please, Please, PLEASE  - If you’re feeling down about yourself, call someone!!

We all know someone who is struggling...some a little bit, some a lot.  If you think someone you know is struggling even just a little bit, reach out to them and offer to be a sounding board.  Sometimes being a listener is all it takes to to help.

Quote from the article:

"Ela Darling, an eight-year veteran of the porn industry and past president of the Adult Performer Advocacy Committee, said actresses are paid between $500 to $700 to have sex with another girl and up to $1,000 to get down with a guy."

Cry me a river. Seems like good pay. Put the money aside instead of snorting it up your nose, or buying useless shit, like fast cars, tvs, and iphones. 

If the work in porn dries up, start escorting. 

It's not rocket science.:rolleyes:

Right?!?

A typical shoot takes how long? (JRW could probably answer that.) In the 60’s a typical 1hr TV show took a week to shoot. So let’s say she gets $1K/week.  That’s about $50K/yr, close to twice minimum wage, slightly above the average family income,  and near what a junior engineer makes. Put in those terms, not so extravagant, but a windfall for an unskilled youngster.

 Though I do agree it’s better to put some of it away instead of living the high life. Use it to get an education.  The market for MILF & granny porn is smaller than that of cougar escorts (😜 my preferred range).

I strongly doubt that inadequate income is the reason these ladies take their own lives.  It is much more likely a result of having some unresolved issues, perhaps from childhood, that are exploited and magnified by the miracle of the internet that allows thousands of anonymous trolls the ability to publicly savage your self worth and value, especially at a time when you are troubled.  I personally am very pessimistic about the state of mental health for young people who pay so much attention to the comments of the sick universe of damaged people who send anonymous hate mail, knowing that they will never be held responsible for their actions.  It is a real problem that is growing exponentially, with no good result.

You are right, 2Big, it's not rocket science, it's much more complicated.

Nowadays these girls burn out faster than a Korean one-hit-wonder boy band. I mean, it used to be that girls ended their porn career by doing "the World's biggest gang bang". Now  everyone is starting their careers with "the World's biggest gang bang and......three donkeys.";)

Reconsidering my curt reply, I wish it were so simple.  I serve as a consultant to a charity here in town whose mission is to prevent youth suicide, which is an unknown epidemic that rivals the opioid epidemic which gets so much attention, and I have learned so much.  Being a tough old fart myself who doesn't give much of a damn what others think about me, it is hard for me to understand why these youngsters care so much about what others think of them, but it is a fact that so many young people, including the porn stars, do in fact form their self-worth from others' opinions.  Again, I doubt that these ladies take their lives due to multiple partners and donkeys (I'll have to take your word for it, I don't watch porn), it is far more likely that they do so because of what others say, or post, about them and it is so easy for others, who also are somewhat troubled, to take advantage of that with no personal liability or responsibility.

I'm done here, no more comments.  This is a topic that is very personal since I very often visit the urn on a mantle holding the ashes of a beautiful, creative, intelligent young 23-year-old woman that I loved very much who succumbed to the opinions of others - it is very sad and very hard.
