*This isnt a boob thread, so just dont go posting pictures, alright?*

Anyone see this last night about 11pm on Ch4?

Utterly utterly utterly fascinating.

Story of two women who jacked in their careers to attempt to become pornstars.

One, 38, Call Centre Manager earning £50K+, married, 12 year old daughter

The other a 20 something Muslim girl who until 2 years ago wore the full garb.

Quite astonishing really.

I think it's a series. Very interesting in that they didn't pan out the way I would have expected them too at all.

Interesting to see the realities of the industry...

Damn, I was in the studio and missed it.

Saw Monday's which, to be honest, was a bit grim. I have no desire to watch Max Hardcore talking about young girls puking on him.....

I didnt see that either thankfully.

The last Ch4 thing they did about this featured Max Hardcore and it is to this day the only thing that I have ever seen on television that I have had to turn over.

That man needs 'readjusting'

This is a short article and shouldn't take too long to read.

As much as it pains me to read Grauniad drivel

Article said:

In the end, the more you see of the porn industry, the more aspects of it start to resemble any other business. As one actress says, "It's all about taking it in the ass and smiling," and that's true of many things in life.


How very true...

Debbie Does Dallas Uncovered
Channel 4 Wed Apr 27 11:05 PM


The Dark Side of Porn season continues. Debbie Does Dallas was made 25 years ago and is one of the world's highest-grossing pornographic films of all time. The plot is simple, a group of teenage girls sell sexual favours in order to raise enough cash to get into cheerleading school, but the mystery shrouding the film and the people involved is much less straightforward.

But the film once dubbed 'happy porn' by industry insiders has a darker side that has left a multitude of unanswered questions in its wake. Who made all the money? What became of the cast members? And what really happened to the film's star, Bambi Woods? With organised crime, suicide, murder, a huge undercover FBI sting and several unexplained disappearances to boot, it's this secret history that assures the legacy of Debbie Does Dallas lives on. But will the real story behind this iconic film ever be fully uncovered?

I do wonder how much substance these trapped-in-the-evil-porn-industry stories contain.

Surely, if it was that bad, you could empty dustbins, work for the RSPCA.....i don't know.....something....

I, for one, would rather clean toilets than gag on Max Harcore's cock. The pay and the glamour are not everything, love....

It was a point that the one last night made.

As you can imagine seeing it everyday they are very upfront about it all.

The 38 year old woman had been booked to do something that she wasnt comfortable doing. In error.

They showed the discussion and it was all above board, no being forced into it, it was a business discussion like selecting a supplier or keeping a customer happy.

After she did the scene minus what she didnt want to do she actually said to the chap that she would be happy doing it in future because of how professional they were.

I think there is a lot of overstatment going on by people who are too closed minded to see that there are people out there who would cherish making a living in porn.

I can't believe there are women willing to shoot 8 hours of hardcore porn for 600 quid! 50 quid extra if they do "A". They'd get more on the game.

But then there are some girls making $1m+ a film...

£600 a day for a trainee isnt bad money in the overall scheme of things

I remember meeting a friend of a friend (etc) who worked in the Swedish porn industry. She was very happy with it and her whole family were exceptionally proud. This C4 season has been good to show how businesslike it all can be.

And yes, Desperate Housewives tonight. Yum!
