The Age of Porn - My Column at HotMoviesForHer.com

After taking a two month break from my Hot Movies For Her column, I’ve got a new one up this morning, about porn, age, and attractiveness.

At 28, I’m not “old” by any standards - except the standards set by the porn industry. Twenty eight is full on MILF territory, even though I don’t have any children. I started working in sex when I was 21 and all the models were essentially my peers, but as I’ve hung around the biz over the years and gotten older, porn performers suddenly seem freakishly young to me.

It’s possible that I’m getting conservative in my old age, but these days I find myself attracted to women and men who are in my peer age group or older. I mean, it’s true that I’m also something of a chubby chaser but I like the fuller shapes that come with age, and while I’m not lusty over granny porn (yet?), I appreciate the mature look. Maybe I was naive when I was younger, but despite knowing that sexuality is fluid and can change over time blah blah blah, I didn’t necessarily think about how age factors into that equation.

I go on to write about my personal feelings of squickness about young women in porn, contextualized with some words from porn legend Seka, who like other porn stars of the 1970s and 1980s was in her late twenties when she entered the industry. Barely Legal has not always been the reigning norm of hotness in porn. I also have an interesting quote from the always smart, always dirty minded Tasty Trixie, who feels totally different about the subject.
