Wait, are we talking about the economics of porn producers, or porn whores?

Porn doesn't seem to be particularly lucrative job to me, even with the other financial opportunities it leads to, like licensing rubber twats or feature dancing. But most of the young women entering porn are not likely to use it as a springboard to an investment banking career. For an 18-21 year old, it's a great sum of money. And you get to be "famous" too and have lots of Myspace friends and buy a Humvee - yay!

It's a market subject to the laws of supply and demand like any other, so I assume rates are exactly where they should be. When I see a whore who is truly beautiful, however, like Aurora Snow, for example, I wonder if she knows the opportunity cost she forked over by not working at a high-end Manhattan escort agency, where she could have been pulling in $1000 an hour minimum, plus tips, plus gifts. Even with the agency's cut, it's a better economic proposition. But maybe she and others prefer the certainty of working with those that they already know, and the whole fame angle. I dunno.




Wow pinupmutant! Awesome post, I totally agree with it and have wondered the exact same thing. You belie your intelligence with your reference to "opportunity cost", which i guarantee the only other porn chick who MIGHT understand that, and the context you used it in, is baby Gia J. When I see relatively plain looking porn chicks, I totally understand WHY they do porn instead of just going straight into escorting, its due to the competition factor and that their doing porn will give them a leg up that they need due to their otherwise unremarkable looks. But as you said, in the case of truly, NATURALLY attractive chicks, you have to wonder WHY they would subject themselves to what PORN brings upon them. Even in the case of diseases....Escorts typically use condoms ALWAYS, with the only true exceptions to that rule being those regular, high paying trustworthy regulars/clients who get tested and advise the girl ahead of time of this fact and show her the agreed upon documentation. PORN chicks however WILL contract several STDs during their career as a rule. SHOWS to go YA...


Helps one to understand certain perplexing situations. Like the ROSE sisters. Ava is dope, could definitely start off and charge 750 to 1000 bucks an hour for escorting no problem. On the other hand, Sister Mia, unless she corners the niche market for horny men who want to fuck a chick with elf ears, a taste for speed and a high World of Warcraft aptitude, is going to need a little help if she wants to do privates.....ergo pump out about 100 -125 scenes of pure filth to entice men to pay her for the real thing. Ava figures she needs to support little Sister in this endeavor and goes along even though she doesnt have to. . . . Gen Padova is probably the greatest example of the benfits of Porn in enhancing the sex appeal of an otherwise unremarkable girl.
