Saw on internetarchive the website of Shelly Lubben and it had a page dedicating a memorial to dead porn stars and there are a lot of males. Still far less than females but the numbers surprised me and there are a few testimonies listed of how almost all died by suicide. Some even went on a crime spree in the style of robberies resembling wishing suicide by being killed by someone else and even mass shooting (with one incident involving a guy coming to an office and cutting people apart with a katana before getting shot by cops).
I'm quite curious why? Its so common to see comments across the internet esp in places like XVideos, XHamster, and Pornhub things like "he (the porn actor) is the luckiest guy in the world!" and "If I was the porn star, I'd ram that girl as hard as I can!" and other such comment. You don't have to look hard even outside of non-porn stuff and in SFW chat of guys wishing to have sex with the hottest girls alive for a living since they think its the greatest job in the world!
So why I ask? Guys online (and I'm guilty of it too under older other online usernames across different sites) thinks it so awesome and ramble on and on about how its the greatest career to have so its so surprising to see an un expectedly high number of suicides!
Because it's ABSOLUTELY dehumanizing.
You see what you see as filmed by the cameras, but you don't see the rest. The dehumanizing part.
It'd be good to verify the claim that most of the deaths were suicides. Age of death would be a good indicator. If they were all young they're probably suicides because anyone in a position to become a porn actor may expect to live till 80.
The field is very competitive for males. The same, superficial way of looking at it that's so ubiquitous, is also what makes it so that there are plenty of people who are willing to do the job. On top of that, it's a very demanding job for males as it requires a lot of stamina. They have to do multiple takes so they have to be able to get hard again and/or not orgasm prematurely for the same reason. That's what I read a while ago. It isn't obvious from those data points that a lot of people would commit suicide under those circumstances but it may be tougher than one would expect. It may also be difficult for them to find another career so they may be trapped in something they hate. The K-pop industry also seems appealing on the surface because the women get to be superstars, but when you learn what goes on inside there you'll understand their suicide rates. The porn industry may be similar to that.
Relevant media:
Because, it's just a matter of time before someone you know recognizes you with a cock in your mouth & ass.
I can only speculate because I don't have all the answers. It is true that there is a very large pool of men who would sign up for what they do. And yet only so few can do it, by the demand. Just as you mentioned comments basically saying "I would pay to do that job." Maybe they do in other ways. Point is gay porn and prostitution probably gets traded, even if not on the surface. I don't know what percentage of male actors also do gay porn. From what I've heard it's not zero, but it's not like I've gone looking for answers. I'm sure though there is more prostitution than what is on camera. There is on the female side. Why not on the male side? Who is buying male prostitution? It's not 18-22 year old single women. It's obese women and gays.
IDK. That's just speculation.
It's not a healthy lifestyle, for men, or for women. It's not just the obvious risk of STD's. The psychological exploitation and abuse is extremely unhealthy, and leads to drug abuse and alcoholism.
