Ask A Pornstar

I find your claim to have started porn in 2002 highly suspect. I remember seeing porn well before the turn of the century.

I still haven't gotten used to the term "Turn of the century" to mean 21st, not the 20th.

My first day was October 7, 2002. It was the third worst day of my life. Stroking a non responsive penis for an hour in front of maybe 40 strangers is something you don't forget easily.

Hey, that's Bree Olsen!!

Did you get to work with her??

This is probably a girly question. Do you LIKE doing porn?

I don't mean in some holier than thou way, I'm asking if it's like fun for you, or does it turn you on?

Gynecologists have to stare at vaginas all day, but it's not fun for them I wouldn't think! So, is it the same? Is it just a job, or are you like "Hell yes, PORN TIME"?

Can you get rich doing porn? Obviously, you can make a living. But a comfortable living?

Oh, oh...I got another one! Do those penis pumps really work? Really?

have you ever thought of doing a vid for kink? i hear the armory is awesome.

Oh, darlin. You're gonna regret making this thread so quickly....

A couple of times, but not for this movie. Her vagina is awesome.

Excellent question. The business impacted me in several, profound ways that I never could have predicted.
I did enjoy every day at first. I still do sometimes when I get to have fun shooting guns in the desert, or if my costars are cool. There are a couple of girls I really enjoy as people, and the actual sex part can be pretty good. Most times, it's work. There is nothing worse than being cast with someone whom you don't like and having to have sex with them. Looks only go so far. Especially when you are as desensitized to sex as I am. My job is to keep suspension of disbelief, and to hide the man behind the curtain, so to speak.

*Note:The following has been copy and pasted from another thread, because I can't answer the question better than I did the first time.

This business, no matter who you are as on-camera talent will change you. Period. It changes you in ways you would not expect--it creeps up on you in degrees.

When people speak of the emotional well being of persons being exploited (by others or themselves) in porn, they never refer to the boys. That's a shame because as men, we are less equipped to deal with the shit that goes on inside of us than women.

Lookit, I get paid to objectify women--to relegate them to non-human instruments of carnal pleasure--so that others can pay to do so vicariously through me. You can't just turn that shit off . At best, it will desensitize you to sex of any meaning with your significant other, which is what you've no doubt experienced. Non-existent sex with a pornstar. Irony is a bitch.

When I was 12, and discovered the Sears catalog, the models in conservative underwear used to do it for me. De-sensitivity has moved the bar of stimulation to magazines like Playboy, to eventually later down the road, even the most depraved sexual acts don’t even phase me. A three-titted midget juggling flaming chainsaws would get a yawn from me.

Funny enough, now days, I prefer example, watching a cute girl dressed normally riding a bike down the street, and wondering what she looks like naked, and what kind of sexual animal she is behind closed doors. What nurturing does this pretty flower need to get it to bloom sexually in front of my eyes, as we are all unique sexual animals. In short, I like to leave a lot to the imagination. That’s what does it for me, not ass on display. That’s a turn off.

With respect to my girlfriends privacy, I’ll just say that the frequency of sex between us is no where near what she would like. I know this may be hard to comprehend, but a lot of times, I just don’t even want to be touched (at home, or on set when I’m about to work for that matter).

At all.

Personally, after seeing girls throwing their sexuality out there so blatantly for me on set, I tend to gravitate to more “meat and potatoes” sex in my personal life. I would never let my GF do some of the things to/with me that I go through every day on set. I try to keep a shred of normalcy any way I can. The fact that I don’t live in Porn Valley, never socialize with my peers, and I actually have to commute to get to work should tell you a lot. She is my oasis, and my escape from the Fellini-esque sexual world I occupy.

We have been together before I entered into the business. Officially, we are monogamous but I'm not perfect. It's simple. I do my best which 98.9% of the time I'm able to be good but the 1.1% of the time I fail we don't talk about it. Ever. It works.

Sometimes girls will throw themselves at me on sets when we are not even cast to work together. Other times, we've...extended the scene long after the camera has cut and the crew has left or we end up someplace else to continue.

Then there are times when I'm taking a break from a scene and some new googley-eyed girl(s) decides she wants to "fluff" and then I end up fucking more girls than was scheduled. Contract girls from studios that "officially" won't do an interracial sex scene but can't get my cock inside their mouths fast enough in some hotel.

Can't forget the women at conventions when I sign autographs for Playgirl that only a man possessing the highest degree of character could walk away from.

Fucking Christ, you should see some of these civilian women. I'm human.

Vegas during the AVN awards? Forget it. Fuck-a-thons, limos, and God knows where you wake up. I don't put myself in that situation and have not gone in years. They mail my awards to me. This shit changes you. Dealing with it, for me, has been a series of bulwarks and dammage controll.

Scores upon scores of couples that want to pay me and fly me all over the world to fuck the wife/girlfriend while the bf or hubby watches but I've always passed on those. Too weird.

Frankly, I'm not terribly comfortable revealing a lot of this now--I'm fiercely private (funny choice of profession, right?) and the guilt fucks with me.

I wrote a 3,000 word stream-of-consciousness piece in one sitting about one such 18 year old civilian girl with an ancillary (off camera) job in the business everybody, and I mean everybody wanted to fuck. I could live ten lifetimes--as prolific as I am--and never have anything as good. One day on set during down time she snuggled up to me and told me she had never been with a black guy before...

I hinted at this girl in one of my stories; that was the catalysts for some serious self-examination. I've been good since. This was during a dark period of my life (I won't elaborate farther) and the timing could not have been worse.

Part, if not all of the appeal I seem to have over these girls is I am the one person that treats them like a human being--and acknowledges that they like everyone else dreams and fears. There are many good people in porn but plenty others, including(especially) those in positions of power--agents, studio execs, directors--discount talent, male and female, as vapid refuse. Even if that's true, nobody want's to be told that they are less-than. Maslow one-oh-fucking-one.

I got this treatment at first until I put motherfuckers in their places which is why there is a long list of studios and directors on my no-list and 1/2 the industry can't stand me and will never hire me. That, and I write about the losers on my blog. I at least have some tools to deal with the unique issues that come with the job.

I can't wait til my writing takes off and it's vaja-con-Dios, bitches to porn.

I'm not the same man I was when I entered the adult industry eight years ago. God bless my girlfriend for tolerating me. It's not easy.

This business, no matter who you are as on-camera talent will change you. Period. It changes you in ways you would not expect--it creeps up on you in degrees.

What are some ways you did expect the business to change you that it turned out not to have?

The slogans are copyrighted. There would be lawsuits.

Fluffers went away back in the '90s. Ive seen one set with fluffers in the past eight years. Nowadays, you either take a Viagra, or shoot your penis up with an embalming fluid called Caverject.

This is designed for quad, and paraplegics so they can have sexual relations. You inject the needle directly into the side of your penis. It has since fallen into the hands of 20 and 30 something porn stars.

The downsides to Caving are numerous, including when it does not drain or absorb into the body after sex. You have to get your penis lanced with a scalpel to drain excess fluid.

Also, there is an open, bleeding wound at the injection site. Anal sex is commonplace. The obvious risks of STD and HIV transmission are ignored by and large.As long as the sex looks good on camera.

If you could play any character from a book or movie in it's porn-parody, who would it be. Do they have porn-parodies taken straight from a book or do they need to have been blockbuster films before they'll do one?

God no. Prior to the recession, you could make a great living as an a-list talent. Thanks to the economy, piracy, and torrent if you make a living consider yourself lucky.

Pre '08, a good male talent could earn 10-20k a month. A female talent, upwards of 30k.

The industry is going through a period of attrition and will stabilize eventually but those days are gone, never to return.

Porn-as-career for me is a situation of diminishing returns, financially. I don't see myself doing it this time next year.

tyler durden?

fap club? a one man sex-a-thon

Don't know. If anything looks to good to be true...

Also, is there a porn version of Moby-Dick and where can I get my hands on a copy?

What exactly does a vagina feel like?
Not for me! A friend wants to know.

The one keeping the industry going right now the resurgence of parodies. Most are not clever, or even remotely sexy. There is a Golden Girls porn in production at this very moment.

They'd never hire me. The perception is I'm too warm and fuzzy.

None, really. There were no real expectations other than to earn and save money. All the ways I expected to be affected personally came to fruition, along with ways I did not expect.

Porn parody of a book, that's funny. With the exception of a few studio heads, the business is run by shaved apes.

I already played the president. Who else is left? OJ? Suggestions?

Were you disappointed when you joined here, and knowing we're all a bunch of perverts - nobody asked you if you were really Tyler Knight?

Or was it actually kind of nice?

P.S. - This would have been a great Research Forum Topic. It's already all over the place so there's no way to put it in there now...

Do you think that breast implants are ruining the industry?

Do you wish that Sasha Grey would shave her bush?

You could parody South Park and play Token.

Describe your funniest or most embarrassing story from the job. Like, something gleeful, or someone did something, and everyone, cast and crew, stopped and laughed out loud.

When did sex become boring... meaning when did it become a job other then the whole passion filled I love you so much so I want to fuck every orifice in your body just to show how much I care for you?

Do you think the average person has the emotional or perhaps moral ability to do what you do? Assuming Average Person physically matches up, basically...do you think that anyone could be a porn star, or, like an astronaut, you have to have the right stuff? And what IS that stuff?

It takes spunk Jane! Serious spunk.

ahahahahahah

^ And that makes for a double!

Do you feel that you aren't as easily able to make lasting friendships because of your work, or do you find that it's easier to make friends within your profession?

I think we've overwhelmed him... lol

Have you hit this? Because Bridget has been my "Holy Grail" of tang for many years. There really isn't a reason to do porn, unless this notch is atop your belt Tyler. So....?

Bridget the midget?

That's really not a very good picture of her.

Forgive my short comings.

"shortcomings" I get it. Ar ar ar ar humour!

This may be a stupid question but how safe is the sex? Is there some formal procedure before filming where people have to provide certified proof that they don't have a STD?

Did you like the movie Boogie Nights?

Bah...quoted the wrong person.

Midgets scare me. I can't even begin to describe it, really, but i know you all agree, because midgets are, well, i guess it's best i don't say too much in case i get a midget coalition after me, and i know they exist and have way more power than you'd expect.

You're thinking of Leprechauns. they're the ones with powers. Midgets are just like regular people.

We're watching you. Always watching you.
