I've heard enough times in this bIz that 30 is over-the-hill, and that the opportunities dry up. That's not perception. That's reality. When I walk into a casting call, and a director tells me I'm too old to do porn (I was 27 at the time), I thought he was nuts.



Almost all porn directors are nuts!

I suspect that most (not all!) of the girls who might enter porn at some point in their lives usually live a pretty fast life of drugs, partying and hooking, and that by the time these reach 30 they've got a lot of miles on the odometer, and it shows. The directors hear 30 and think Babydoll.

I personally prefer the "older" performers because they generally seem more comfortable with what they're doing. The 18 year olds can be remarkable eye candy but sometimes have a deer-caught-in-headlights thing (see Teagan when she first started).

I suspect there are a lot more in their 30's than admit it. Vicki Vette claimed to be 28 when she first showed up and was 38 at the time (and I think is over 40 now). With a little help from genetics there's no reason 30+ should be a problem for those who don't party their life away.
