I have a friend who does “implied” nudity, who’s done cam work, but refuses to do adult films. One is that at nearly 30, she’s found her niche and is comfortable at that, two is she doesn’t wish to get sucked into that life. What I find interesting is that she’s got a page on Facebook, but not Twitter.

Also, for many, porn is an escape. Pornhub, Xvideos, Neatmovies and the rest fill a void. When you’re done, the void is still there. A pay-as-you-go site like AEBN allows wider access, but you’re still paying for that. Vivid and the other studios are now offering streaming service, but much like the music industry, they’re scrambling to keep up. That’s why you have Lexi Belle, Reilly Reed and others who often perform at adult clubs, because there’s more money to be made with fans who pay $400 just to walk in the door. Even at 35% (your typical cut), one can make anywhere from $1500 to $30,000 a night. Those are for veteran performers. There are very few Nina Hartley’s and Brianna Banks’ around. Lisa Ann is a sports radio talker, Jenna Pressley went all Jesus Freak (her written statement on “After Porn Ends” is unintentionally hilarious and disturbing at the same time) and Traci Lords went into bodybuilding.
