Question
Jim-
I was just curious why women choose the porn industry as their career, and also, do they actually "get off" being with all those guys all the time?  Thank You.

Answer
Hi Dan,

This is a question that is very difficult for me to answer….simply because I am a man but I will share with you what little I know from my interactions with the woman I have had the extreme pleasure of working with.

The reason women choose to become Adult Performers varies greatly from woman to woman. If you were to ask 10 different female performers this question you would probably get 10 different answers. Some have told me they do it for the money…others for the sex…and still others do it because they feel it some how empowers them as a woman. I’m afraid this is yet another of those “female mysteries” we men may never actually figure out.

Do they actually “get off” while working? Well ….yes and no. This too is going to depend on the situation and the woman in question. Just like sex with any other woman, its all going to depend on mood, level of excitement, the skill of her partner, her sexual attraction to her partner and, her enjoyment of the particular sex act in question. Some women in this business orgasm very quickly/easily, while others require a bit more stimulation, and others are just really good actresses and my never have a real on screen orgasm.

Keep in mind that, other than what they do for a living, most female Adult Performers are not any different from every other woman you have ever met.
