28 facts you might not know about the porn industry

Do you hear? This is the hum of the public, alarmed by the raised topic. Don’t worry – everyone is watching porn. Researchers at the University of Montreal in Canada wanted to conduct a study on the effects of pornography on relationships, but could not find a control group of 26 people who did not watch porn.

Below is a list of 28 facts that should fully reveal the inside story of the porn industry for you. But if you want to hear that only perverts are involved in pornography, we will disappoint you. More and more people are being drawn into the business model of the porn industry, providing jobs for tens of thousands of people around the world. And it began thousands of years ago – on the territory of feudal Japan and ancient Greece. Without getting that far into history, we’ll start with the UK.

HISTORY

1. Queen Victoria enacts strict laws regarding the conduct of men and women, with no nudity. However, the law did not apply to photographs. Cards with naked women flooded the market and Europe, which until then knew only pornographic novels.
2. The beginning of the 20th century was the heyday of the era of silent cinema, and underground porn studios were created in Europe. They are dealt with by the mafia, which soon transports the idea overseas – to America. Pornography is not particularly popular – puritanical mores will prevail in society until the middle of the century, until the sexual revolution begins.
3. The first countries to lift the ban on pornography (attention!) Were the Scandinavians – Denmark (1969) and Sweden (1971).
4. The first porn film to be widely released in the United States was the 1970 pseudo-documentary Sexual Freedom in Denmark.
5. In the 1950s, Playboy and Hustler set the stage for the porn industry, but the turning point was the release of Deep Throat, which grossed $ 30 million. Thanks to him, the industry was able to emerge from the shadows, porn cinemas and porno video rentals appeared.
6. The popularity of the genre could dictate terms: the fact that the porn business chose VHS to distribute allowed the format to stay afloat while Betamax disappeared.
7. In 1999, the shares of the “icon” of the world porn industry – Private Media Group, began to be quoted on the Nasdaq exchange.

The porn business was growing at a staggering pace, although it remained essentially banned. In the US, porn is legalized only in Los Angeles and New Hampshire. Sometimes it seems like everyone else is talking about porn, but how big is the industry really?

BUSINESS

1. From 3 to 4 thousand dollars are spent every second to buy porn: videos, subscriptions to paid channels, webchats, photos, et cetera.
2. Google for “porn” returns 1,900,000,000 results.
3. Despite the seeming ubiquity, the percentage of porn sites on the Internet is 2.9%. Of the million top domains, these are 26,044 sites. I will not list all these porn sites, but perhaps one of the many high-quality sites I especially liked, I will still give – hd-porno.video It contains interesting content and has a high quality HD video.
4. The estimated profit for all pornography producers is $ 35-40 billion.
5. In 2008, the first large-scale economic crisis in the history of the industry began. In 2009, company revenues fell by a third.
6. Pornography can be a great way to supplement your budget. California, where 90% of American porn is filmed, accounts for almost 8% of all tax revenue. In the Czech Republic – 5%. And in some German Landgraves this figure reaches 20%.
7. The average male pay per video is $ 500; girls have separate and more generous price lists.

In fact, the porn business doesn’t spare guys. It’s hard for a man to become a porn actor, they get less, they constantly take Viagra to keep themselves in good shape on the set. It’s hard to find positive reviews from porn actors about the filming process. For them, this is the same work as the rest – hard work, requiring preparation and certain skills. Let’s talk a little about the heroes of the porn industry.

ACTORS

1. Since 1984 there have been Oscars of the porn industry: AVN Awards, XRCO Award, XBIZ Award.
2. Since 1998, mandatory HIV testing has been introduced in the American porn business. Since then, only four of the actors have become infected, confirming that the threat is more likely to come from the outside world.
3. Many celebrities starred in porn – Sylvester Stallone, Madonna, Pamela Anderson, even Jackie Chan – in 1975 he starred in the porn film All in the Family.
4. Of the 100 most prolific porn actors (by the number of films released), 96 are men.
5. At the top of the list is Tom Byron, who has starred in films with 1,127 different women.
6. The average age of the beginning of a career in porn for a woman is 22 years, for a man – 24 years.
7. The most popular porn pseudonyms for women are Nikki Lee, and for men, David Lee.

As you can imagine, the life of an American pornographer is hard and unsightly. But there are still a huge number of countries where pornography is prohibited and severely punished by law. In Ukraine, this is regulated by Article 301 of the Criminal Code – the import, sale, storage and distribution of pornographic materials. What is generally going on with pornography in the legal field?

LAW

1. Even viewing porn is prohibited in some countries, but you can watch it in a hotel room – porn in hotels is not covered by the law.
2. But we do not advise taking risks (or even being) in North Korea, where the punishment for porn is the death penalty.
3. In neighboring South Korea, this is quieter, but to watch the video, you need to enter your social security number.
4. The main enemy of the porn industry is the pirate business. Hundreds of pirated content sites that earn money from views and hosted ads.
5. Pornhub works on a different system – porn studios post clips of their films on the portal. Whoever wants to will follow the link and buy a subscription, and Pornhub will receive a percentage of this transaction.
6. But the biggest porn network is in Canada. Hockey, maple syrup and porn sounds great.
7. And most importantly, Internet Rule # 34: “There is porn about everything – no exceptions.” Would you like to see girls dressed as Italian plumber Mario? Easily. A porn movie based on Doctor Who? Even with remakes and a single storyline.

Congratulations, reader: you now know more about the porn industry than you wanted. These 28 facts are enough to keep the conversation going or surprise someone in the company. Let us remind you that we in no way call for viewing or producing pornography, but only talking about mass culture, to which we are all involved.
