Define "Pornstar"
 

You are pornographers here. Give me the definition of "pornstar".
Thx

Roadside assistance for people who fuck on camera.

99% of the surfers here at GFY are NOT pornographers.... at best internet salesmen... maybe 7-8 pornographers here at best, on a good day:2 cents:

I define it as a girl (or guy) in the adult industry who shoots boy/girl scenes. And when she enters a public place (restaurant, bar, nightclub, convenience store, etc.)...people stop in their tracks. Some know exactly who she is and others ask their friends. But she has made enough of an impact and has the "it" factor to actually be recognized (just like a "real" star from Hollywood or a famous musician would).

The other folks who shoot porn are pretty generic and can't really be called "stars" in my humble opinion.

For instance...a no-brainer would be Ron Jeremy. He can walk into any venue and almost everyone knows exactly who he is.

Another one that you might not think of is Vicky Vette. Not everyone will know who she is...but everyone will know she is SOMEBODY that is famous and they will start trying to figure it out (and with her, a lot of folks will already know)

Of course Jenna Jameson had all that mainstream publicity that makes her a porn "star". But I'm not even sure what she looks like these days. If she walked into a room and nobody told me it was her...I wouldn't give her a second thought.

In the end it's probably subjective...but I think a "star" should have star quality that extends to "real" life and not just how many scenes she shot for Brazzers.

someone who is well known for having sex on camera for money. hence the 'star'.

Sounds like a reasonable answer to me.

has the cover on a few dvd's

"pOrnStar this is Lucy, how may I help you?"
"Hi Lucy, I'm trying to tweet a picture of my weed and I can't."
"Are you holding your phone's camera lens towards the weed and not towards you like when you tweet pictures of your ass?"
"Oh that's right. Thank you pOrStar!"

And that 'star' quality you describe can vary - depending on the audience. If I were to throw out the names Stacy Burke, Eve Ellis or Darla Crane - most people here on GFY wouldn't know who they are. But amongst BDSM/fetish fans...they'd be household names (so to speak). All three were 'guests of honor' at the first BondCon convention in NYC years ago - and Stacy was Master of Ceremonies that year.

Yet none of them would be recognized on the street.

what Robbie said - the real porn stars you can count on one hand

The girls who are pornstars and many others would probably consider it a girl that has done over 100 scenes. But in my opinion if a girl is doing it fulltime, she's a porn star.

But why - it's the *star* qualification which is the thing I can't get on board with.

There are doubtless thousands of bit part actresses who have been in over 100 scenes in third league B movies; but I doubt many of us would recognise them.
So I would not call them stars, nor would their industry, they would call them actresses, maybe those with less time/films aspiring actresses.

So why is every girl who has made some porn/adult performances auto qualify (usually self or agent so proclaimed) as a porn 'star' ?

Until they are in some of the categories as well defined above, like Robbie post for example, they are simply adult/porn performers in reality.

And there I$$ a difference .............

I quite agree - however the wannabes prefer to show Industry Role: Content Production & Licensing in their profile.

To me, it is somebody that even people that never or hardly ever watch porn have heard the name.

The other day when James Deen was mentioned casually on Jimmy Kimmel, I thought 'okay, he's a pornstar now'

In BBW and other niches too.

On the X Biz forum there is a thread that is a prime example (Robbie was spot on in that one too, actually). Somebody telling Samantha 38G she is a no name. Well, maybe to that person but my next door neighbor is into big chicks and mentioned her to me on his own right without even knowing I was in porn.

Sort of like Sara Jay too. Loads of people talking down her looks but put her and a thinner but classically beautiful girl in a room with booty loving black men and see who is the star then.

It is NOT a girl with one blowjob scene and a dozen topless self shot pics she posted on a twitter account CLAIMING to be a pornstar....

Exactly.

By mainstream standards, our Kastle Archives Productions brand isn't known much at all. Yet in the BDSM/fetish arena...it's quite well known by both fans and fellow producers. It always seems weird to me that we can go to a mainstream adult convention (i.e. Everything To Do With Sex in Toronto) and be completely unknown and ignored (to be expected, lol)...yet when we attended Bondcon in 2001 as exhibitors and on-stage presenters, we were approached all weekend long by tons of people who knew our name and have enjoyed our stuff over the years.

Still, I'd never afix the term 'star' to anything we do. We're too humble for that, lol.

I think the term pornstar started to go away once porn stopped being shown in movie theaters. Now I would say DVD covers.

Eufrat ... WHOO HOO :thumbsup

wow I hadn't realize exactly how stupid you really are until now ... :thumbsup

Love it!

I agree with you, but I disagree with you.

Most of us here are not pornographers. At the same time, I can count dozens of people who produce porn on a daily basis.

interesting: and the difference between producing porn and being a pornographer?

Given the source - hardly an insult.

You want to explain that remark...if you're capable?

really? I supposed to put my content production revenue up here for an asshole like you to look at? dude I shoot for a living... you? meter maid right? do... you.... un... der.... standddddd

here read this out loud until you do: I am Sofa King we Todd did :1orglaugh

Firstly, jackass...my earlier comment you replied to was not specifically aimed at you - go back and read it again. It was a general observation about many here.

What a fuckstick you are at times.

I'm pretty sure it involves having a dick inserted somewhere.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

wow bro... missing a bit of bran from your diet, maybe just got a jones to slip on some rubber gloves and fondle a few dicks ..? :1orglaugh

the real Porn Star is a very small community of household name people who fuck or used to fuck on camera for a living - anyone else is just a porn performer.

I think it's funny when people define a porn star by dvd titles. Most internet girls get way more views than those in dvd's :2 cents:

Pornstar = www.kendalust.com - Kendra has got the power in the MILF market anyways. Her "splog" got over 300 comments in 2 weeks.

She now has a site with www.pornstarplatinum.com

But for theaters and dvd's. You had to give off your ass get in the car and go rent it or buy a ticket or buy the dvd. That takes star power. The internet diminished that. I start making short films and put them up online would that make me a movie star?

Most of the movies I watch are streamed from the internet through my Xbox, Or downloaded to my Surface. I don't think that getting the movies online makes Bruce Willis any less of a movie star.

Edit: If you made a low budget short film, Uploaded it to the net and the movie went viral, Everyone talking about and googling you, Yes I would say your a movie star.

Would you ask for my autographed picture? :)

thx for the insight...
