Does working in this industry FUCK you up more MENTALLY or PHYSICALLY?
I can't decide.
Mentally you're totally removed from every "normal person" who works outside the industry, and it's hard to relate to anyone outside the business. Particularly hard if you ever bother going out and making small talk at parties etc. Physically you're likely to overdo it on the pharmaceutical assistance and alcohol front, lack of exercise spending too many hours in front of a screen. tricky. |

I never got the whole its hard to relate to normal people (wtf is that anyways, have you seen the shit they buy?) or people outside of the industry. I figure if your going to be a shut in your going to be one regardless.
People really only let their work do what they want to them, an excuse of sorts. Nothing requires them to work all day or night, stay inside, or hell even work inside. Nor does it dictate that you must eat poorly, drink alcohol, use drugs, or be lazy.

You can go to the gym to keep your body in shape but once your a retard, your always a retard.

How would working online make one retarded, again I think people start that way and then just build on the foundation they already have by tapping into a mass network of other tards to compare notes.

in mainstream you interact with different demographics, backgrounds...people with a skill set but from different businesses so your work/social interaction is different. it's just different that's all. if you were in any specialized industry it would be the same web-based adult won't fuck you up as much as being in non-web adult though ![]()

I think my head is far more fucked up due to this industry than my body. As Jens pointed out, you can just go to the Gym.
However watching all this porn and in so many fucked up niches screws up my relationship to sex a bit. I definately expect more kinky sex than I did prior to my time in adult hehe. It also gives me a bit of stress since people are SO FUCKING TERRIBLE at keeping what they promise. It's always two steps forward and one step back. I have recently been buying ads in the high $x,xxx range and once the money is shipped everything takes a lightyear. A lot of people in this biz cant see further than the next time they receive money. I have so far been treated far better in my big mainstream deals. There are of course a lot of good companies in adult. Have been doing biz with SearchBoxxx.com the last week and they know what service is all about ![]() Cheers

It's just obscure that's all, I've been doing this full time for the last 5 years, but before then managed 50 staff, and had to do the rat race 5 days per week. Now it's just me, some business partners and the R.O.W.

Defo physically for me. Crazy sleep patterns, unhealthy diet, very little exercise.
It's all my own fault, but i'll blame the porn anyway... |

My back is fucked up from sitting all day long, despite long workouts every morning and many evenings.
My head is fine... but i'm more on the tech side. |

mmm.... I don't get the "I can't relate to others comment" .... or "if you work alone all day then you will have social problems" .... thats bullshit.. at least for me.... every time I go out with friends I know what to bring to the table to make them talk or smile of whatever...... if you have friends around the age of ~25-60 just hit the politics topic and you are guaranteed to be a fucking hit.... if not then talk about TV series ... if not then about something geeky like the dam Hadron Collider....if your friend has a house there are literally a fucking thousands things u can talk about.... or if your circle of friends consists of stupid girls then be a jerk and fuck with their heads.....
I don't get the "ohh working in porn has fucked my mind" argument.. .. u must have been fucked from the very start and now blame it on porn or your online job..... if anything u will be an expert when the time comes and a chick asks u to put it inside .... thanks to porn u won't be embarrassed trying to figure out where the dam hole is........

It shouldn't do either....However, I let it get the best of me....
Not necessarily working in the adult biz...But working at home sitting on my ass every day...It gets addictive... But now, I go to the gym and work out hard and then hit the jacuzzi, sauna, and steamroom damn near every day....Then you can come home and sit for the rest of the day without it taking a toll on your health..It's only 11:30 am here and had finished working out by 10am...Now I have all day to do nothing but scratch my nuts and wait for my kids to get back from school. Life is good.

I don't work in this industry so I wouldn't know.
I've only been a designer in this industry and even telling people I am a designer for porn the porn industry.. got me all negative reactions.. People outside of adult do not have any respect for the people who work in adult at all.. They also have a completely fucked up idea of what the adult industry is actually like.. and i'm talking about 25 yearold kids.. Caught me completely off guard.. |

Fucks you up is probably not the right way of phrasing it, but it certainly changes you...
"Normal" people kinda live in different world and face completely different problems than we do...

Ironically, porn has made me accept my body more because of the different body types that guys find hot. I used to have the "Barbie doll syndrome" where I had a negative self image because I wasn't blonde hair, blue eyed with big boobs. I no longer have the compulsion to get a boob job to feel better about myself.
Mentally tho, it has fucked with me where the act itself is sometimes contrived.

Even with the social isolation, being a webwhore has been good for my head. As close to perfect as it gets.
Physically? Not so much. I have so much geek work to do at the computer it's hard for me to make time to exercise, especially since I'm not an exercising sort. I know part of my job is to look good, but like JD said, you can still be a fat ass and make money. It's really the geek work at the computer that brings it in for an indie like myself where we do everything on our sites, from being IN the content, to shooting the content to blogging to design to building promos to promoting ourselves to getting other people to promote us by administering our program. When my body is fucked up, so is my head -- don't sleep as good, don't feel as good about myself, makes work harder which fucks with my head, not as efficient, and then I use food as my drug of choice to make me feel better so it's a vicious circle. Yeah, everyone is right that the job doesn't FORCE these consequences on you, but when you only have so many hours in the day sometimes sitting here typing useless posts on GFY is much more appealing than going for a run on your jiggly 35-year-old legs. |

any job can do both to you. that's why it's called a job and you get paid for it.

It depends on how u manage your time. Find time to exercise & try to learn something other then porn. I get tired also because I have been in this business for 10 years & its hard to get motivated & sales are not like before so it could be stressful. What I do, I take a few hours a day do some exercise, sauna, jacuzzi and massage once in awhile. Let me tell u a little secret, when ur spending to much time in GFY, its time to shut it down & get the fuck out.

I can relate to that. Bizz overkill I guess. Imagine the poor surfer getting so much porn freely previewed daily day after day and year after year.....is the surfer still excited? And willing to pay?
