Apparently, the process of filming pornography is really messy, arduous, starts to smell bad quickly, and many of the positions are uncomfortable. Not to mention the fact that many scenes need re-takes. That’s just the reality of filmmaking.
It’s also quite awkward to have a director and camera crew staring at you the whole time and giving you instructions.
On top of that there is a loooooot of shady shit going on.
Drugs. Lots of drugs. All of them. All at once.
Jerks getting on blacklists just to circumvent them and end up on stage again just to beat the shit out of another actor/actress. There is a good chance that you unknowingly watched rape at some point.
You get persuaded a lot as a porn star. To fuck people you don’t wanna fuck with, to do things you don’t wanna do.
And then there are the fans, oh boy. Imagine being the target of a troll campaign and the trolls have literally terabytes of ammunition against you. They get really disgusting and you get harassed online and in RL all the time.
If you somehow have a family life going on, they will also be targeted by that shit. Retired porn actresses want to have children but they can’t, because they don’t want their kids to live through that hell.
Luckily not a porn star myself. Just read a ton of AMAs and articles on the subject. The more you inform yourself about what’s going on behind the scenes, the less you actually want to watch porn. It’s a mood killer to say the least.
Sure, just opt away from anything that’s created by artists and you’re good.
However I was specifically positing an option outside of the sex work industry that doesn’t have a significant history of drug abuse, sexual abuse, worker abuse, and overall unhealthy precedents.
Not the person you’re replying to, but I too was confused. I thought it had something to do with some sort of contract known as “2d” in the industry because the d wasn’t capitalized, as in 2D.
I am not the parent commenter.

I read this on an AskReddit thread.

Twilight. My brain was violated
It’s a major reason why I only watch independent sex worker stuff now. And even then you can’t be 100% sure…

Hentai is the only ethical form of porn consumption
Some hentai genres beg to differ
They can beg all they want, in fact I hope they do.
if it isn’t crunched like many anime are.
I like stuff from naughtymachinima, lots of 3D stuff for that extra dimension
some porn uses insane simulation physics which are rarely used anywhere else, and i fucking love it.
Once they get proper sticky goo physics mastered, it’ll be perfection
2d means no consent necessary and no worries beyond artist mistreatment or underpayment by the publisher.
Which is a molehill compared to the mountain of issues in the actual sex work industry.

Were you imagining Paper Mario-style pornography? With real people somehow made to look flat?
Not the person you’re replying to, but I too was confused. I thought it had something to do with some sort of contract known as “2d” in the industry because the d wasn’t capitalized, as in 2D.
So no different than Hollywood then?
I want to disagree, but somehow I can’t.
