An adult star has revealed a huge industry secret with most pornography viewers won’t be aware of.

Ask any adult about pornography and they should be able to tell you that the industry does not reflect real life sexual relationships and is instead a completely choreographed take on between-the-sheets action.

The heavily stylised and edited world of the adult industry means that most of the action you see in the finished product looks completely different to what goes on behind-the-scenes.

Porn stars also undergo multiple cosmetic enhancements in order to meet desirability criteria – and some of them may actually shock you.

We’re all aware of adult performers undergoing cosmetic enhancements, but did you know mechanical penises were on the checklist?

Well now I do, which means that you get to learn about it as well.

The information was divulged by adult actress Abella Danger on a recent episode of Barstool Sports’ KFC Radio podcast.

Responding to a question about whether or not she’s seen an actor with a broken penis, Danger recalled one particular performer who she’d seen sporting three different versions of his manhood on set. As you do.

The response of course left hosts Kevin Clancy and John Feitelberg curious to know exactly how one man could have three different dicks, with the adult actress quick to divulge the industry secret.

“You guys don’t know this? So many guys in porn have mechanical dicks,” Danger explained, leaving the hosts, and most likely several listeners at home, speechless.

“After this I’m going to tell you which ones are mechanical,” she teased.

Explaining how they work, the actress said that the mechanical aspect is activated by squeezing the testicles, which then causes an erection to occur.

Oh the joys of scientific advancements.

“[They have] a metal rod inserted,” a bewildered Clancy questioned, while Feitelberg asked: “It’s always in?”

Not content with just explaining how a mechanical penis works, Danger went on to Google the adult actor in question and pulled up several images to show Clancy and Feitelberg. Just in case the initial description wasn’t enough to hammer the idea home.

Perhaps even more shocking was Danger’s explanation for learning about mechanical penises, to which she said: “The first time I heard about it… my friend in high school said his dad had gotten it. I don’t know why he told me this.”

Revealing what it’s like to work with an actor who has a medically enhanced manhood, Danger added: “They look like a superhero, honestly it’s like they’re not even doing anything.”

The more you know…

Former porn star Bree Olson has revealed the staggering amount of money she gave up every month after leaving the adult industry.

Olson, now 37, began working as a pornographic actor back in 2006 and reportedly made over 571 pornographic films and compilations before quitting adult entertainment at age 25.

Since leaving the industry, Olson went on to work as a mainstream actor – featuring in 2015 film The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence) – she has also been vocal in her criticism of how the adult industry works as well as the stigma surrounding being a porn actor.

Appearing in an interview back in 2016, a tearful Olson explained why she felt that porn had made a negative impact on her life, as well as revealing the eye-watering amount of money she walked away from.

“I have really gotten to a point where there are days to weeks at a time where I don’t leave my house because I don’t feel like facing the world,” she said in the black-and-white interview.

“People treat me as though I am a pedophile, not an ex-sex worker,” she continued, adding that working in the adult industry means she is now banned from working in healthcare or around children.

When it came to the amount of money she was making as an adult star, Olson revealed that she would often bring in tens of thousands per month.

“I gave up between $30,000 to $60,000 a month (£23,500 to £47,000) and I could go back to porn and still make that,” she revealed.

“I could go back to porn and make $20,000 (£15,700) in one week if I wanted to, and I don’t. Because that’s how much I don’t want my photos on the internet.”

This isn’t the only time that Olson has spoken against working in porn, with all of her criticisms focusing on the exploitative nature of the adult industry rather than the profession itself.

“Porn didn’t hurt me. The way society treats me for having done it does,” she told The Daily Dot back in 2016.

She has also claimed that pornography is the only industry where actors aren’t paid after you retire.

“I send a very strong message to young girls, don’t do porn,” Olson added. “Because as much as I understand that you want to embrace your sexuality you want to say ‘screw the man… I can do whatever I want with my body’ but you’re just going to have a life of c**p in-front of you.

“There’s nothing wrong with porn. But how people treat you for the rest of your life? It’s not worth it.”

After leaving the industry Olson briefly dated Two and a Half Men actor Charlie Sheen in 2011.

She has since kept a relatively low profile, last addressing her work as an adult actor via Instagram Stories in October 2022, saying that she doesn’t regret her work as life is ‘pretty chill’ now but urged younger women to make money on the internet without porn.

A top British adult star has spilled the beans about how much performers are actually raking in for their content, as well as revealing how much they can earn from taking a ride in a Fake Taxi.

Social media sensation Elle Brooke, from Surrey, isn’t shy about discussing what goes on in the industry and likes to lift the lid on what the reality of being an X-rated entertainer is actually like.

The 26-year-old might have dabbled in the boxing world briefly, but OnlyFans is her bread and butter.

She is one of the highest earners on the adult platform and boasts thousands of subscribers, and it’s their subscription fees which fund her extravagant lifestyle which we all see her live on social media.

During an appearance on the Happy Hour Podcast in 2022, Brooke explained what it was like being in the top 0.01 percent of OnlyFans stars and the impact that the pressure of it can have.

She told the hosts: “OnlyFans have made this very clever marketing technique in-house, because they know how competitive people can be.

“What’s a better way to make people work harder than to know how sh*t you are or how well you’re doing?

“It’s so bad for your mental health though, because as soon as that drops or goes higher, that means you’re getting worse, or less, income. You think, ‘Oh my God I have to get back into it, I need to work harder, do better’.

“And then not only that, you go on social media and everyone’s like, ‘Oh, I’m in this percentage! Look how great I am’.”

At the time, Brooke said she boasted a whopping 10,000 subscribers on the adult site, who were each forking out $15 (£11.68) a month for the privilege of seeing her content.

But she could always boost her monthly income by ‘selling extras’ and fulfilling bizarre personalised content requests from fans, such as one bloke who she claims paid her £300 ‘to take a s**t’.

According to the OnlyFans creator, loads of fellas also ask her for ‘d**k ratings’ as well as foot fetish content too.

Brooke has also dipped her toe in the pond of the porn industry and has a couple of professional videos floating around on the internet – however, she says starring in these isn’t as financially beneficial as producing her own stuff.

To make a comparison, she revealed how much she had been offered to join in on a notorious Fake Taxi video – and it’s safe to say the hosts were left stunned.

Brooke told the podcast: “[With] OnlyFans, you own the rights to that content.

“If you do a scene, for example like Fake Taxi, I think the standard rate is like £500.”

She claimed that the Fake Taxi team also want a lot for their money – and in terms which are probably a bit too explicit to state here, she reckons the acts they want her to perform are simply not worth the cash.

“When they first approached me, that was it [£500],” Brooke continued. “Whereas with OnlyFans, I own the rights and the loyalties to all of my content.

“So I still sell [videos of] 21-year-old me and I still make so much money on it, even though it’s recycled, because people still want to see it,” she added.

“They know me now – but they don’t know what I was like three years ago.”

A former adult star who ditched her Wall Street internship to pursue a career in porn has revealed what made her realise she wasn’t the best fit for the industry.

Paige Jennings made quite the splash when she first swapped professions back in 2015, as she left her role at a top finance firm in New York after ‘randomly deciding’ she fancied a drastic change.

She explained she posted some ‘scandalous pictures’ on social media to try and drum up some excitement for her debut, but it was actually the business side of things which really interested her.

Speaking of her motivations for sharing the explicit images online, the model said her goal wasn’t to become the next big thing in porn, but she reckoned it would be a good way for her to get her foot in the door.

“That was how I thought I had to try to communicate and get the attention to learn about the industry,” Paige said during an appearance on Andrew Hales’ LAHWF YouTube channel.

“I was interested in the business model and like the strategy. Overnight, [the images] just went viral and there was like half a second that I was super relevant.”

Paige tried to capitalise on the buzz around her and attempted to launch her own company, but she explained it didn’t take off until she later started a YouTube channel of her own.

She started creating ‘random videos’ and ‘streaming games on Twitch‘, which helped grow her popularity even further – and now, she boasts a whopping 275,000 subscribers.

Ultimately, she decided that the adult industry wasn’t for her, and in the 2018 interview with Hales, she explained the reasoning behind the move.

Paige, who claims she was paid a whopping $30,000 for one of her first explicit films, said that her working pattern as a porn performer was very erratic.

One week, she might have worked ‘everyday’ – but there was also times when she might only have got booked for two gigs a month.

But it wasn’t the lack of security which sealed her decision to leave the industry behind – as it was the realisation that she was becoming attached to a few of her co-stars which proved to be the final nail in the coffin.

“I was like, ‘Maybe I’m not that good for this’,” Paige said.

“It’s super weird with me, because I could have sex with someone and like not expect anything out of it – and intuitively, I wasn’t like a girl who was like, you know… I know guys just want sex, usually.

“Or they like you and they want to hang out but they don’t want much more than that, that’s common, especially in this age group that we’re in. So I could do that, but for whatever reason, a lot of porn experiences could be very intense.

“A lot of those dudes just have some tricks, man.”

Although she wasn’t ‘clingy’ and blowing up a fellow performer’s phone if she felt something between them, Paige said she would be left feeling confused after shooting a raunchy scene.

She explained that after some jobs, she would ‘spend the next three days’ trying to understand if she ‘was super into him’.

The former adult star said she always made work ‘fun’ for both her and her co-stars, so she would be ‘flirty’ and make the extra effort to ensure she had ‘chemistry’ with her male counterparts.

“A lot of people [detach themselves] but I couldn’t do that,” she continued. “I just couldn’t, because it wasn’t fun that way.

“Guys get turned on when you treat them well and when you treat them like you’re into them, and if you’re turned on by them, they get excited by that. And I would try to do that with guys on set.

“So that’s why they would be excited, I’m excited, everyone’s happy and has chemistry – and then we have this super awesome experience. They want intensity on porn sets.

“We’re doing stuff we probably wouldn’t do if we were alone, so then that creates this sort of connection a little.

“Then the next few days I’m like, s**t. Do I like this guy? I think I like this guy. Is it just oxytocin? Probably just oxytocin.

“I never got like attached where I’m like crying or emotional about it or anything.”

Paige revealed that although she didn’t ‘seriously’ date any of her co-stars, she did have some fun with them off camera if she felt a connection.
