n the surface, being a porn star seems like a pretty glamorous occupation. It’s essentially two or more good-looking professionals literally engaging in the kind of sex that mere mortals can only fantasise about. However, beneath this veneer of baby oil and smooth genitals lurks a work environment that is more reminiscent of a plumber’s daily experience than it is of Jennifer Aniston’s. At least that is the impression one gets after watching the series.
Featuring the likes of James Deen, Richelle Ryan, April
O’Neil (pictured) and others, Ask a Porn Star recounts stories of things they have experienced on set and some of the bizarre shoots they have been asked to participate in. If you have a weak constitution, it is best to give this series as wide a berth as possible.
You will get the lion’s share of stomach-churning moments from an episode called Ask a Porn Star: What was Your Grossest Experience on Set? There is no actual porn in the series, so it is perfectly safe to watch at work.
What is less safe is eating anything before you watch it.
If your interest is piqued but you are not quite ready to wade through grim stories involving bodily fluids, the web series also includes a particularly amusing in a bizarre kind of way episode in which performers describe the weirdest scene they have been involved in. Other episodes in the series include getting performers to describe the worst reactions they have received when people found out what they did and whether or not actresses really orgasm during scenes.
