I miss the pre-Bang Bros era, back when porn directors thought they were real artistes and they made actual movies with the whores having to act.
Those softcore movies that ran on TV Friday night also had rather elaborate plots (for porn), with about a dozen 3-5 minute scenes of "sex" in a 100 minute movie. It felt like an actual B-movie with sex. There was this one I saw on some website, and it sounds like a fever dream, but I swear that it's real, where a couple was doing it on a table and at the same time an image of Casca's face from Berserk manga was being projected onto the wall/blackboard behind them. Surreal, but in a good way. Wish I knew the story behind that choice.
Something I noticed by the end of my coomer journey was that the artsy-fartsy plots in the post-2010 era could easily be divided into two groups. If it was relatively normal, i.e. "two MILFs switch boyfriends and it turns out it's better this way", then that's a regular writer and director's job, but if it's something absurd, like "woman wearing face-gems takes it up the ass on an altar with burning torches everywhere and she dances with a live snake beforehand" or some "I am 15 and this is deep" bullshit, then it was 100% written (and sometimes directed) by the porn whore who also stars in it. Maybe it's just the mark of an amateur, since porn directors, scriptwriters, camera operators, etc. go to regular filming schools, it's their trade, but I find this distinction very telling. Bit of insight into the infantile mind of someone whose entire identity is "hole".
How do you get "tricked" into having sex on camera, consensually, with a contract handling pay and such?
Sometimes it's "three weeks wages for one day, who's interested" and some dumb broad raises a hand, but oftenmost it's just coersion.
Imagine this: you are 18, some guy in a suit at a mall or concert gives you a "modelling agency" business card. You call the number, go to a place, get some photos taken, sign a paper and leave. Then you get a call. "Great news. Managers liked your demo photos and they are flying you to Paris for a proper photoshoot. You in?"
You say yes, because come on, it's a weekend in Paris, all expenses paid, and you just have to pose a little. So you board the plane, get there, the doors lock behind you and someone says "alright, clothes off". You don't wanna do it? Didn't know it's this type of deal? "Well, you gotta pay us back for the flight then, also the whole crew is here already, we'd have to tell everyone to go home, you'd inconvenience a ton of people and get blacklisted from modeling." All that's bullshit, obviously. What you have to do is leave, go to the embassy, explain the situation and they will get you home, but you are 18, in a foreign country, in a room full of people who are all "counting on you". So the clothes come off.
Sometimes they boil the frog slowly over a couple sessions, or just get the girl drunk. If the recruiter is even more scummy, he'll basically groom underaged girls by showing up at highschool parties and filling their heads with tall tales of fame and fortune, so the day they turn 18, it's sex on camera time. Just like regular traffickers and pimps, they often use women to talk to the girls, since women are more likely to trust other women. The grinder always needs more meat.
This entire industry should burn.
