You seem to know a lot of about the personal income of porn stars...

How much do adult film stars make?

This must be the only place in the world where guys get paid less than girls, and we call all the shots. (feminists take note!) Guys get a couple hundred per scene. New girls can get between five and six hundred for a boy/girl scene, and the rate jumps as you become a bigger star. Contract girls get paid by the movie, instead of by the scene, and they make thousands of dollars per movie. Then the stars go on the road dancing, which earns from $2500-$15,000 a week, not including tips, polaroids, etc. It's good money, but remember, when you're still working at 40 or 50, we're out of a job!

Clearly you are not a porn star... of course posting on /. pretty much ruled that out already...

Actually, Asia Carrera has a slashdot account.

This comes directly from her bio: http://www.asiacarrera.com/bio.html

Geeky Academic Stuff - NJ spelling champ, National Mathematics League, Spanish National Honor Society, placed in National Geography, Language Arts, and Mathematics Olympiads.

Geeky Other Stuff - Played classical piano at Carnegie Hall at 13 & 14 (Ernesto Lecuona's 'Malaguena' and Bach's 13th Invention), taught Colloquial English at Tsuruga College in Japan at 16

Education - Attended performing arts high school (emphasis on instrumental music and visual arts), National Merit Scholarship Winner (for 1440 on SAT's), and Garden State Scholar (for nerdly grades). Attended Rutgers University on full academic scholarship, with a double-major in Business and Japanese.

"You're thinking too small"

Really? I was under the impression that Asia Carrera was the most desirable geek chick ever... incredibly hot porn star who builds her own computers, makes her own UT maps/mods/models, is a Linux geek and will wipe the floor with anyone here in a UT2004 deathmatch... personally, I do not need to know any more b/c I do not think that combination can be beat.

Here is a link directly to an interview with Asia about Unreal Tournament and online playing. http://www.asiacarrera.com/me2/xsreality/

Asia Carrera http://www.asiacarrera.com/ is easily one of the hottest, if not one of the best Unreal Players around :) *howls* *pants* *drools* The Hoosierbilly!

Don't know if I'd agree with that about the porn business. According to Asia Carrera, the most important thing in for a man in porn is to be able to perform on command. Having a large member is important, too, of course. But neither of these has to do with social dominance.

You're thinking of "pussy", as in Asia Carrera's. You should pray I didn't guess this by divine intervention...or should you?

Sorry, just trying to stay on topic. And sorry to all the Utah-ers who can't follow the link.

You know, deep down, we are all Daniel Carrera on the inside!

I don't think that name means what you think it means. http://www.asiacarrera.com/ ;)

Mod the guy up. It's in her FAQ. Notice she's quite the techie-geek, and has been very involved with her web site for many years. Quite the impressive business woman. A company I was once with tried to reach her regarding doing a trade-show-demo video clip, but her agent turned it down.

From dictionary.com (respect): # A feeling of appreciative, often deferential regard; esteem. See Synonyms at regard. # The state of being regarded with honor or esteem. Respect is given. I don't feel that a check or cash necessarily points to respect. If I pay someone $20 to kick punch them in the face...how does that show respect? I'm not refuting what you said...we can go back and forth on this for days. I'm just clarifying why I said what I said.

I agree. So do alot of shows on television. And i still think that kids (until they're able to process the information and decipher between reality and fiction) don't gain anything by seeing those things. The point at which they're able to make conscious decisions about what's reality/fiction or right/wrong...that's variable.

I agree with that statement completely. And I don't believe that undermines any "family virtues" either. But as a parent I would want talk to my kids about sex before they get bombarded by media and sex ed courses. Which means as soon as they're capable of understanding the basics of sex.

This sounds a bit like those tales pr0n stars tell about how much it sucks (no pun intended) to work in that business.

Sure, you get to fuck a lot of really hot women, but you have to work long (no pun intended) hours under adverse conditions, and if you fail just once you might never get another job in that business.

I don't think that most of us would expect the video game business to be well, all fun and games, we expect that like most jobs there will be aspects to it that supremely suck ass.

People who want to work in that business have a pretty good idea of what to expect. Though I'll concede that reality can be even more harsh than what they expect.

These guys have a cool desktop, if you can call it that.

Riccardo Giacconi was using a fairly ordinary CDE on Solaris desktop on a beautiful 24 inch wide-screen monitor the last time I saw it, with some very cool galaxy images from the Chandra Deep Field.

Steven Squyres probably also has an interesting desktop, and I think I saw it on ABC News last week, before they switched to talking about the problems with the rover.

You can see Asia Carrera's desktop in the background, but it's not safe from work. Looks mundane.

I wonder if Pheobe has a cool desktop. Not Alyssa Milano, but her character.

Speaking of fiction, I wonder whether David Kay uses Windows or Mac?

While I like innovators, I'm more interested in users. They at least try to do useful things. That was the problem with Alan Kay. He always has interesting desktops. He showed squeak at a conference a few years ago that just stunned people, but none of us could figure out what we would actually do with it.

You are thinking of Asia Carrera. And don't ask me why I know that.

"""Besides, when did you ever see two men getting it on in the middle of a "normal" porno movie? No, female homosexuals are something cute and male homosexuals are something strange to put on a different shelf."""

It's because porn is intended for the beat-off needs of straight men. Lesbians are often sexy to straight men; homosexual men are not. It's as simple as that.

There is some pornography made by and for women (lesbians, at least); see "On Our Backs." There is lots of pornography made for gay men. And some straight women enjoy pornography intended for men, straight or gay.

The truth is, the reason little porn is made for women is because they are a poor market. Women have historically prefered softcore kinds of things, as well as erotic literature.

To reiterate: the majority of pornography is developed for the pleasure of males, mostly heterosexual but sometimes homosexual. This is simply because the concept of pornography is more attractive to men in general. Women just happen to prefer more fantasy-laden media.

By the way -- are you suggesting that female-to-male domination fantasies are all right, while male-to-female domination fantasies are sexist and damaging?

I've seen porn where women used strap-ons on men. Pretty scary for a heterosexual male like me, but it exists. Is this exploitation? I've also seen lots of porn where a lot of time is spent pleasuring the woman. Yes, hetero porn has lots of cumshots (and anal penetration, nowadays). But I've seen rather mainstream "squirting" porn where a guy gets a female ejaculation in the face. It's rare, sure. Mostly because female ejaculation is rare and it's much harder to aim it at someone's face.

Anyway, I'm rambling here. Yes, pornography is often exploitative. On the other hand, female porn stars are paid significantly more than males, and are better able to negotiate the types of film they appear in. And as Asia Carrera says, porn is hard work for men.

*PANT PANT PANT*

Hot, sexy, female geek? This hasnt happened since Asia Carrera!

I dread getting tested for STDs every few months.

I think Asia Carrera said everyone gets tested every month, not every few months, and they do check the paperwork. Interesting site, if this sort of thing intrigues you. One of the few celebrities who wrote their own web site.

Hmmm... Why not put up posters of Asia Carrera or Cindy Pucci (both of whom code their own sites, and I happen to know that Ms. Pucci writes her HTML with a text editor and probably has more computers in her house than you do) as "women of computers?" Seriously, though, I'm dating an extremely hot woman who is working on her MCSE (and learning about Linux from me), so they are out there...

Now, that picture is quite small so I can't tell if it is her or not, but there is a chance...

a table retracts, a wall panel moves, and a life-size image of your favorite aerobics instructor appears.

They were probably accessing the new material at Asia the Geek's web site after learning of its existance after reading the /. article about Star Trek Nemisis trailers. Star Trek is really big over in Europe, you know.

now that's [asiacarrera.com] a real geek chick! :)

Yes, the famous porn star is probably just as "hardcore" a geek as anyone in the Wired article, if not more. I bet none of those profiled builds their own systems, did their own web sites, kicks butt in UTK, has a 150 IQ and has starred in hundreds of high quality porn flicks. Oh yeah, Wired is a "family" magazine.

Close....but I'd pick Asia Carrera for that role...mmmmmm

Why FemBots when you can get a FemFragger instead?

You mean Asia Carrera is going to be there? Sweet!

...further efforts by the same school to trick children into getting their education include a recent announcement that the films they show in their Sex Education classes will be produced exclusively by Vivid Video. Additionally, Asia Carrera has been hired by the school to teach a few computer classes.

No kidding. Don't forget about Asia Carrera, who is a member of Mensa. I imagine that would make for some very nerdy pillow talk.

• National Merit Scholarship Winner (for 1440 on SAT's)
• Yes, I am a member of Mensa, the society for high I.Q. nerds
• 4 kickass PCs
• Spelling bee champ, was in the Math Club
• Likes to take it up the ass on camera
• 
  
  Wow, I am surprised. She's my new favorite porn star! =)

I knew a very beautiful girl who was into computers and stuff, and not only that she was impressed by computer ability.

Sadly, I never got any naked pictures of her :(

Oh, also Asia Carrara considers herself a geek. keslin is a geek sig-spammed k5 and slashdot for a while to get people to go to her porn site. You could probably say she was a geek, but. you probably wouldn't say she was that good looking...

Probably not. I don't know that much about porn business (not first hand anyways) but I take it that being a male porn actor is a damn hard job (no pun).

Can you
- get a hard on with 10 people standing around you, watching
- last 10 minutes or more if the director decides that they screwed the shot and need more footage
- cum on queue ?

I dont think its fun. There is some info on the porn business on Asia Carreras home page. This page is a must see, she is not only a babe but a genuine geek, too. She (says she) did all the HTML coding herself.. no, she is married already, sorry. BTW; the page has adult content, so beware.

"So now the porn stars ar emaking their own websites?"

Yes. At least one is.

How much do adult film stars make?

This must be the only place in the world where guys get paid less than girls, and we call all the shots. (feminists take note!) Guys get a couple hundred per scene. New girls can get between five and six hundred for a boy/girl scene, and the rate jumps as you become a bigger star. Contract girls get paid by the movie, instead of by the scene, and they make thousands of dollars per movie. Then the stars go on the road dancing, which earns from $2500-$15,000 a week, not including tips, polaroids, etc. It's good money, but remember, when you're still working at 40 or 50, we're out of a job!
