I can't see how that is true. She says in the post that 205 of 2000 known porn stars have died prematurely from 2003-2013. This somehow means that the average life expectancy of a pornstar is 36 years.

That is an easy number to massage. It is safe to assume that many of the remaining 1795 stars working in San Fernando (so this doesn't take into account people working all over the world) are still fairly young. Most women are in and out of the industry while still in their 20's. So if the average age of a pornstar that worked from 2003-2013 is only 35-40 and 205 of them have died you can say that the average life expectancy is 36, but that number goes up every year the rest of of the pack lives.

205 is a big number, but I have a feeling this is one of those cases where some selective math was used to come up with the best number possible

The entire time I was reading it I couldn't help, but think how someone like Donny is likely massaging his balls to the idea of how he can use that number in the speech he sells to churches.
