From the second we "accidentally" see sex late at night on Cinemax to the moment we are introduced to the wide world web of wangs, porn becomes a constant in many of our lives. It doesn't matter what kind gets you off, it all falls under the beautiful umbrella of the porn industry. An industry many of us don't think twice about once we finish. Sad but true. We are to porn what fuck boys are to the world. We use them and don't think twice until we need a bit of release again. Not anymore. Well, not today. Today we're going to spill some tea about porn that you may have never thought about. So sit back, relax, read these facts and then go jerk off like a gentleman.
The Health
We get to see all that and more thanks to porn and the lack of condoms, but that makes you wonder...is this line of work safe then? Yes! Those involved with the action in porn are required to get tested regularly as to not rock the boat and cause harm to themselves and their scene partners.
The Erection
You'd like to think you could stay rock hard for a lengthy period of time but let's be real. What we see as a 15 minute fuck session likely took hours to shoot and no man alive could handle that. That is why many male performers aren't strangers when it comes to taking Caverject to help their cock stand tall a hell of a lot longer than on its own.
The Pay
There are very few professions where a woman makes more than a man on average; modeling, stripping, and porn. Yeah, anyone in America could've guessed that women make more where sex and looks are involved, but what about when it comes to men on men action? According to CNBC, there really isn't a difference when it comes to a man's scene partner. Yes, there's the "gay for pay" phrase but if they're a nobody in the industry, they aren't making that much more. A guy just starting out can make upwards of $600 a day or per scene, but the price goes up if they're household names. The big guys can make up to $1500. That's rent in some cases!
The Worth
While we always hear about the money coming in when it comes to professional sports, the porn industry takes the cake. As a whole, the porn industry banks more than the NFL, NBA and the MLB combined.
The Public Health Issue
We are dying right now. Did you know that there are 11 states that have declared the wonderful world of porn an actual "Public Health issue?" Among them, Florida. Like, really? Have you seen the headlines that come outta that state? They clearly have bigger issues than the adult industry.
The Time Spent
Ironically enough, four out of those 11 states landed on Porn Hub's annual review when it came to time spent on their site. Guess it wasn't that big of an issue for Arkansas, Tennessee, Utah, and Nebraska?
The Terms
Sticking with Porn Hub for a second more, when it came to terms searched on Pornhub Gay in 2018, the top five were Korean, Japanese, Black, Dadd, and Straight. Did you search any of those during those 365 days?
The Deaths
We've all heard about how rough life can be in North Korea. That's a fact within itself, but if you're a lover of porn you're going to want to stay clear of there. The punishment for viewing porn there is well, death! Can you imagine?!
