They like having sex and they like doing it on camera.
That's what many a lot of them say, and what a lot of consumers (want to) believe. Take out all monetary aspects and I'm suprised if more than 1% of the models actually continue to "enjoy having sex" infront of a camera.
You have vastly underestimated how much I want people to see my pussy.
And on the amateur side, most men think "I want my wife/GF/SO" to see my penis. It’s a pretty standard behavior.
And you have vastly overestimated how much people want to see your pussy. And even more overstimated how many want it for money. Soon if you post your pussy somewhere once, they will just make hundreds of pussy shots without you
i make porn
i’ve spent thousands of dollars on camera equipment
i post it online, in 4k, for free, and there’s no way to pay me for the content
i do it because i like the exhibitionism (among other things)
i do it because in the sex-positive communities i prefer to associate with, it’s like posting your day to facebook
i do it because the camera pushes me to imagine new and interesting things to do
i do it because it helps me meet people with similar tastes that aren’t flakey and are equally sex positive and non-judgemental
there’s an enormous amateur community (that often becomes professional) that makes porn because they want to… money is a nice thing to help buy new gear for porn, but it’s not the primary concern
I have to ask: why is people that enjoy having sex infront of a camera so unbelievable to you? I am guessing that you are anti-porn. Is that what you want to believe?
I'm not saying there aren't people who enjoy it. But I assume the numbers of those who say they do vs those who acutually do wildly differ. You got to keep in mind that there is a huge incentive in making consumers believe that actors and actresses enjoy it.
That's fair but I think your estimate is way off. At less than 1% you're basically saying that nobody really enjoys doing porn. Additionally, I think things like inadequate wages, being forced to interact with crazy customers (fans), and unsafe working conditions would make people want to quit the industry rather than the sex work itself.
You're right, I think it's not the sex work in front of a camera but rather all that comes with it. Including stalking, risk of contracting STDs, highly unregulated work environment...
