Im curious what do you guys think. I was reading some comments on people that porn is difficult for women.
Why is porn so rough?(Is porn the hardest sex work?)

A few more details about the article and what it designated as the difficulties might be useful.
About a decade ago I read an article that talked about the effects of sexual pleasure on the brains of men and women. The essence of the article was that lots of sexual activity without the ability/opportunity to emotionally bond seemed to wear harder on women than men. There are women who can go through life that way, they just represent a smaller total of the population. Presumably, if that study was accurate you would see it as one cause for a high turnover rate in the industry. Unless say two performers really had some chemistry and established a working relationship over time that allowed that bonding to happen.
For those of you guys involve two follow up questions: 1-Is porn different in American than in Europe? I notice in America the girls doing porn can do 1-10 then retire you never hear from them again. Of coures there are exceptions, however, it seems like 1/ or more fall in this category. Meanwhile, in Europe it seems like a actress will appear in all sorts of movies and be part of "circuit" where she shoots with multiple companies becomes part of the porn community. I've seen this in reality tv as well, in America they'll find someone new to do the show, while in Europe "reality tv" is a career and they'll have the same characters in multiple shows ready to be booked.
You may have answered your own question.
I don’t know much about European porn - except for those hot and filthy German Goo Girls! But, if porn is more of a community, and there is support for the performers, it would lend itself to longevity. In the US it’s more of a way for some girls to get in and make quick money, and try to get out before everyone they know realizes what they do.
It’s still largely a taboo industry in the US, so acceptance is difficult.
I haven’t read the article - but I’ve heard that Riley Reid provided interesting insights regarding her challenges of developing relationships with civilians after being in the industry for several years.
It’s probably difficult physically - but the body can heal from the physical. It’s the emotional challenges that can linger for many years.

Its why hoes cant be housewives.
Haven't read the article, but I'm guessing the dudes who preside over the porn business might not be the most enlightened individuals on seeing work issues from a female perspective (to put it lightly).
Yeah it takes a toll. Look at the sibstance abuse rates suicides etc.
Yep, and now that the cancel culture is in full swing on social media there is a whole new avenue to attack rivals. Go look at what happened to that one girl to kill herself, August Ames was her name I think. There was a group of actors whose life stlye was too risk filled for her to work with. But they were politically untouchable. She called them out, the cancel machine put her through the wringer, and she committed suicide.
The porn industry has to be more heavily media centered just because of its business model. If you've had other issues and are more vulnerable, a whole scale social media attack can be the final straw for some people.
Its a very predatory industry. The girls are most often in a very vulnerable state as is.
Considering that females tend to get the bigger paychecks and participate by choice, not sure how it is any more difficult than anyone else in the business.
