54. AFTER PORN ENDS

 a film about porn stars and what their lives are like after they leave the industry.  it seems that a film like this should be so interesting.  however, it's quite tedious.  each describes how they got started in the industry.  most just fell into it because they were good looking, they didn't have anything else going on, and they could make quick money.  some of the women look ridiculous--so plastic'd up as they are.  most all note that their past comes back to haunt them.  some invested wisely, but many noted that once they quit, they went through their money very quickly.  many had issues with drugs and alcohol.  many have successful marriages and family after.  there's just not much else to say.  i can't say that i learned a lot from the film, except that it's a topic i didn't know much about.  i did find one story pretty fascinating.  the porn star woman says there isn't anything more to sex in the movies than sticking your finger in your ear.  just one body part poking into another body part and nothing more than that.  those that now have loving relationships are quick to distinguish sex from love; they're grateful they found partners that can overlook the past.  all that said.............that work doesn't go away......
