Transition Of Porn Stars To Escorting
In previous articles it has been discussed that some porn stars have made a transition to becoming an escort. However that transition has never been looked at in great detail. You may or may not be aware that some top porn stars in the industry are making extra income by becoming escorts. There hasn't been a huge shift n that direction, but the industry itself is guiding any of these women down that path. Over the last 5 years there has seen a huge surge in the number of adult film companies and entertainers. So it has become very competitive. The iconic porn stars that were seen to be the hottest 5 years ago have to make way for new, slightly younger talent. So when ageing porn stars find they are no longer winning porn star awards and are no longer the name on people lips; what does their future hold. Well many at some stage have always been asked by fans, VIP gentlemen and even people in the industry if they provide exclusive dates. At the time porn stars would have shrugged off those questions and never given it a second thought. However now with how the industry and on a personal level their careers are looking; it is an avenue that many will entertain. The age of the internet has meant adult entertainment companies are losing millions to the countless websites who are just uploading their films online, so people can watch them for free. This has a knock on effect to porn stars who are losing out in revenue.
There was a really interesting online article by the website Salon which discussed such matters. In the article they had an online interview with porn star Mariah Milano. They discussed her views on the subject and there was a very interesting insight which she gave on the subject. She says that becoming an escort is a good way to have an alternative income. Especially when porn stars incomes have been hit by various issues. The whole stigma of escorting has lessened over the years. Being a porn star means that they have that fame that can use to attract clients and also set high escort rates. It is said some top adult film stars can charge thousands of dollars per escort date. So from a stage where it was unheard of for escorts to enter in the world of escorting; it is believed the vast majority are now part of that market.
With a porn industry that many insiders are saying is on a vast decline, could this see the surge of even more porn stars going into the word of escorting? Also if this happens will this put a strain on the current VIP escorts who now have to compete with top adult entertainers, taking up the limelight? Could an average escort compete with a porn star? These are all things that have to be considered. This could be a massive shift with shapes and changes the escort market forever.
