Cubsfan Cubsfan is online now Guest Join Date: Jul 2002 Porn from Eastern Europe. Why does such a high percentage of internet porn seem to originate from eastern europe nowadays? Looking at the ladies on these porno sites it makes me wonder what is driving the seemingly endless supply of blonde hair, blue eyed women to the porn industry. I'm speaking mainly of the fetish porn industry because that is primarily the content I look at, but it's blowing my mind how many bombshells are being absorbed into these porn sites. I almost never see the same girl twice and I look at a fair amount of porn.

The porn industry is no different from any other industry. They want to find the cheapest source of their supply and for white porn stars thats Eastern Europe.

Cheaper to hire Eastern European chicks to suck dick on camera.

Eastern European porn may be in European languages (other than English) or may be somehow more culturally correct, giving it a commercial advantage. As for the women in there movies, I certainly do not know. Most bordellos in the Middle East are segregated by nationality. In Bahrain, a buddy of mine is a regular at such places. The girls look 'like heroin addicts' I don't know, I never been. The Russian girls, another friend reports are being held as slaves.
lissener lissener is offline Guest Join Date: Jan 2000 Location: Seattle Posts: 17,000 It's the same case in gay porn. It's because it's like a third world country, only with "non-foreign looking" people. There's no doubt that the biggest market in sexual fantasies (ie, porn) is gonna be for people who look like their market audience. Not exclusively, of course, but the greatest proportion. When the Iron Curtain fell, suddenly here were all these countries that were so desperately poor that their people would do almost anything just to eat. I've read that the pay in "mainstream" gay porn in America is $20,000 a scene. The same economic conditions exist in many places around the world, but there will be more of a market for blue-eyed blondes than hungry looking "ethnics." Until Eastern Europe recovers, it will continue to be an open market for such exploitation.

XT XT is offline Agnatheist Charter Member Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: The Great South West Posts: 23,868 I agree with the economic assessment most are saying. and I have seen SOME to be sure, usually popups for them). Look at all the new 'reality' sites that have sprung up lately. There are tons of sites with guys and girls who are pretty obviously not models being produced by people who also pretty obviously aren't professional producers, who post new content regularly on their web sites. I imagine many of these reality sites basically are just a couple of guys with a video camera and a web site who go out and recruit regular girls off the street for a couple of hundred bucks, film having sex with them and then post them to their web site. As opposed to paying for a film and production team, paying for a professional model/actress/actor and a producer, etc.

I actually think most of the girls on "reality porn" sites are not really recruited right off the street. I think most of them are drawn from adult modeling talent agencies and hired as would be any other kind of performer.

I think most of them are drawn from adult modeling talent agencies and hired as would be any other kind of performer. and I've seen exactly the sites you are talking about, and its fairly obvious just looking at both the men and women that they are models (or wannabe models at least) pretending to be ordinary folks simply 'picked up off the street' or who are strapped for cash and only doing this because they HAVE too (there is one about plumbers that was amusing this way). For one thing, the 'models', either male of female, hardly fit into any realistic mold of real professional models who are just pretending to be ordinary folks. I could give a few examples but it wouldn't be appropriate (plus it would give away WAY too much info on my own fetishes ) here so you'll have to take my word for it. However, I think I'm discerning enough to know a model faking being real compared to some woman (or guy) who runs a web site out of their house, or other amature efforts. Even joining this discussion has probably given away more about me than I would normally chose.
Huerta88 Huerta88 is offline Guest Join Date: Sep 2002 Tastes of course differ but coinciding with the fact that lots of E European countries are poor has been, no doubt, the fact that many (at least in the West) regard the tallish, leggy, fair-complected, high cheekbone types who disproportionately can be found in places like Czech Rep. or Ukraine as unusually good looking (some think the Czechs breed the best lookers on the planet; while I was indeed impressed, not just by the model-types but by the smoking hot girl next door shopgirls, I found Icelanders even more freakishly good-looking -- but Iceland's not poor, so they have non-sex-worker options). FYI, I was told in Poland that while there used to be a fair number of Polish and Ukrainian prostitutes there, the source of talent is moving south and East (Moldova and Bulgaria, which don't have the classic North Slav phenotype but which are poorer than the Westward-looking C European countries). I'd suspect similar trendlines are seen in porn (though I guess arguably starring in porn requires less desperation than actual street-level hooking).
Beware of Doug Beware of Doug is offline Guest Join Date: Nov 2004 Not to quarrel with the basic idea of hot young white bodies as commodity, but I have to put in a prop for Hungary. Probably the most open and sophisticated of the former Soviet bloc nations, Hungary also has without a doubt the most stylish and beauty-conscious women in Eastern Europe and thanks to their country's position as the revolving door of conquerors, they possess an incredible mix of bloodlines and looks, from pale, delicate-featured and near-Nordic to dark, aquiline and near-Turkic. I've seen countless Hungarian models whose faces (and bodies) would break your ...
