My genuine first thought when you said 2020 was " Is she still alive?". The Porn Outlier, which seems to be the new way to try and legitimise it, seems a recent phenomenon at least to me. Although Stormy Daniels has more integrity than some of her better known, erm, playmates? 😊
Consent, real or manufactured, is at best a bendable concept in porn, and unfortunately it is that and the taboo nature of the thing itself that makes it worth the chase, at least for some. My memory personally is that Porns (re)obsession with brutality started around the Tera Patrick era, not coincidentally an impossibly beautiful woman at the time.
Thank you for a clever and sensitively written piece.
She's not only alive, but thriving! Quite the killing machine with her fights and gym workouts, and quite an inspiration if you're into MMA and training. She was also quite seasoned with BDSM, going to clubs long before she appeared in videos.
I think you're right about porn brutality starting around the Tera Patrick era. (I mean, it's always been there, of course, but around that time you got a stream of quite brutal gonzo stuff). I worked as a sub-editor at glossy US porn mags at that time and our shoots were populated with insanely beautiful women, while the video ads at the back of the mag were... urgghhhh. It seemed like a 'this is why we can't have nice things' scenario.
Or at least one of the many reasons why...yes, I've followed MMA for a year or two, so my interests definitely align with her and yes, checked her Instagram ( presuming the one I found was legit) and she does appear to be thriving, which is good news. She is over 30 I guess, which is the turning point in most people's thinking about the future, so good for her..
