The data on sexual health in recent times is extremely worrying. And it is that sexually transmitted diseases, commonly known as STDs, are increasing throughout the world, even in countries with more developed means. It is striking that decades after the terror caused by HIV, young people seem to have forgotten what it can mean to contract a disease of this type, even if it is not as serious as AIDS. There are various means made available to prevent this from happening, and at this point the use of the condom is fully assimilated. Or so it seemed, until in recent years, this rebound in sexually transmitted diseases has caused serious concern among experts. Are we giving the sex education our young people need? Is it moving to an era in which they are informed through the Internet, instead of by qualified people, with the damage that this may entail?
Some experts point out that the increasingly early access of these young people to Internet pornography has resulted in a worrying situation regarding their sexual education. However, and although there is some reason that it is not convenient for minors to access this type of content, porn has become a tremendously safe place for sex. The majority of producers force their actors to use a condom in all penetration scenes, and professionals perform tests every fortnight to avoid possible contagion, in case an STD. Care is absolute because not only prestige is at stake, but all the work of a company. And there are cases, of course, but porn is usually a very safe sector, precisely because of the importance given to health. We are talking about sexual illnesses, but we can also expand all this analysis to physical fitness in general, to body care… In general, actors and actresses take great care to keep their bodies in the best possible shape in order to record the scenes. And it is that their attractiveness is one of their strengths, and they cannot get carried away. This is how porn stars take care of themselves.
A profession based on physique
Let’s be honest. As in commercial cinema, where most of the great actors have triumphed for their attractiveness, beyond their talent, in porn cinema the physical is even more important. And it is that here it is not necessary to learn great texts while we break down in tears, or create a scene so funny that it makes the public split. Pornography is based on the exposure of explicit sexual scenes, and although it is true that there are production companies that try to include something similar to a plot in their films, the important thing is the moment of the sexual act. For this reason, porn actors and actresses literally live off their bodies. And they must be attractive to the public, especially to men, since they are the ones who most often consume this type of product. Taking care of yourself is very important, maintaining acceptable beauty standards, even carrying out surgeries to look more exuberant, especially in girls…
Physique is everything in porn, but still, we can talk about many different physiques. Because porn has always had a great diversity and variety of bodies in its industry, with a site for older women, for young people, for blondes, brunettes and redheads. Boldness, attitude, has always been a determining point in attractiveness, beyond physical beauty itself. And this is how we find great actors and actresses who, without being precisely models, have managed to go very far. In the case of men, for example, there is Ron Jeremy, who is not an Adonis, but has spectacular charisma, and an infallible secret weapon in sex scenes, of course. The girls not only take care of themselves with expensive beauty treatments to always be perfect, but they also wear impeccable makeup. So much so that sometimes it is almost unreal to see a scene of this type.
The importance of exercise and a good diet
How do X movie actors and actresses stay in shape? There are no secrets here, really. Only what works for anyone who wants to stay. A lot of physical exercise, activity, gym to have a toned and beautiful body, and good nutrition. At this point, many porn stars admit that they don’t eat as healthy as they should, but in the end, thanks to the physical exercise, they burn all the extra calories. And it’s not just about staying online, something that in the end doesn’t worry too much either. Actresses can be a little “chubby” compared to supermodels because the viewer is looking to see more real women on screen, and not as skinny. The exercise also serves to gain stamina and resistance when push comes to shove.
Did you know that a scene of just half an hour can take almost six to shoot? The montage makes us believe that everything is instantaneous, and that the powder is practically carried out in one shot, but this is not the case. The porn cinema is explicit, but it is still cinema, and therefore, it always has a trick. The recording usually stops on many occasions, to change position, to take a rest, because some problem has occurred with the camera, for example… Imagine what it means to be naked or naked, in front of several people , during all that time, doing something so intimate. You need a lot of stamina and mental strength, and sport is essential to achieve it. Eating well is the other mainstay of healthy living, and porn stars know it well. In fact, there has also been a lot of speculation about the importance of diet for men, when it comes to ejaculating, and the flavor that semen can take depending on the food consumed.
The danger of STDs
We already mentioned it at the beginning of the article, and we can’t stop talking about sexual health as a very important part of the health of porn actors. And it is that his work is closely related to hygiene, with taking precautions when these scenes are carried out, even being sure that there are no STDs… Porn was not taken very seriously serious all this type of limitations in the past, but things have changed a lot. So much so that some US states have even made the use of condoms mandatory in any sexual scene. This has led to a great controversy, especially in California, where the mecca of porn cinema is located. Many producers, in fact, have moved to Nevada, a much more permissive state.
Is it acceptable that a porn actor who has worked with numerous sexual partners in a month can carry out these scenes without protection? The fortnightly analyzes, sometimes even weekly, seem like a good safeguard to avoid any problem in this regard. However, precautions are never too much, and the use of a condom is always convenient. Only, as we have already been able to verify in the data of the introduction, young people seem to have taken little affection for condoms in recent times. And in porn, bareback is always more enjoyable, despite the fact that it may entail more danger for the actors… Many actresses refuse to work with actors who don’t wear condoms, and have claimed to feel discriminated against and expelled from filming for this reason.
