Again one of the wonderful things about Twitter is the conversations that you have with other folk. While trying to come up with a topic for today I was asked the question: “What would be your perfect Porn Star?”
Unfortunately my perfect Porn Star is not just one woman but a combination of several women I have come across while watching porn.
First off in order for her to be a perfect Porn Star she has have Marketability. Be it via her website or other outside ventures, she has to be able to generate buzz and dollars even if the market can’t. No one does this better than Jenna Jameson.
Although I’m not a fan, I do marvel at the woman’s hustle. She started as a stripper in 1993 and managed to work her way as CEO of her own adult entertainment company ClubJenna which boasts $30 Million a Year in revenue. She is instantly recognizable in and outside the world of porn. Her stripper past in considered an afterthought as she has become a pop culture Icon. She has starred in a vast array of non-pornographic efforts from the NBC drama Mister Sterling in 2003 to 2008 Horror-Comedy Zombie Strippers.
I think that both Jayla Starr and Pinky have the ability to reach this plateau as both have very strong internet presence.
Now in order to be able to have that Marketability you need to have that certain Cross-Over Appeal. Yes Jenna carries herself well to several venues but in my opinion she can’t hold a candle to the Great Vanessa Del-Rio who not only has starred in over 100 films since her appearance in the adult industry in 1974.
What Porn Star can claim a vast career, be mentioned in Rap songs by Ice Cube, Lil Kim, Digital Underground, Chubb Rock, Busta Rhymes and The Game and have an appearance on NYPD Blue?
And let us not forget her cameo in “Get Money” by Junior M.A.F.I.A. (The fun starts at 2:46)
Watch her discuss her impact and a book (Fifty Years of Slightly Slutty Behavior) that is in the works in the video below:
Now that we have covered the outside influences that is needed to take the Porn Star to the superstar level, you need to include physical aspects to porn acting. First up: Perfect Dick Sucking
You need to work the dick like you are sucking it like “it had the the antidote in it!” In my humble opinion, no one sucks dick on camera like Ice La Fox. I have never seen anyone pay attention to the oral like Ice when she was on camera. The only one that comes close is a retired porn actress Mary Jane.
They both pay loving attention to the shaft and head of the dick while using their lips to manage both. Ice looks as if she completely loves the act as oral and it transmits perfectly from the screen.
Next Up, the perfect Porn Star needs to have a Good Sex Game. I can’t stress the importance of this as I have watched many of a bad actor that was carried by a good actress that made the scene better than it really was. Jazmine Cashmere is a good example of this. I haven’t seen her put out a bad scene just because the actor she was working with was just bad.
I don’t know about you, but I love for my actresses can talk a good game while getting down. You have to have a good Vocal Component in order convey the sexual heat of needed in the scene. When it works good you have blazing scenes produced by actresses such as Mone Devine, Jazmine Cashmere and Ice La Fox. Conversely there are several Male Performers who don’t know how to do this well and screw up the scene with lines that come “straight out of a comic book.” (Points for anyone who knows where that quote comes from) A side eye to LT and Wetley Pipes who have ruined many of scenes for me.
I’m sure you’re noticing that I left Looks. It was on purpose. Although I do think that looks are slightly important if you don’t have the other components you are not going to make it as a porn star. I’ve known fine women would completely screw up a scene because they were worrying about being too pretty and not committing themselves to the scene.
So readers am I off the bend on this one. Who is your Perfect Porn Star?
Well that’s all for now … back to the reality of the world. More later

I’ll have to agree with you on the points above, but must add a few things. Naturally, cunnilingus skills are high on my list of must-haves. (hint: that tip-of-the-tongue ish needs to STOP. Sure, it looks nice on film, but a little realism never hurt anyone).
Consideration is *key*. I hatehatehate male leads that just seem to pound away with no regard for their costar. Sure, that might be the director’s fault, but IMHO the perfect porn star ensures his costar’s comfort and at the very least, the appearance of arousal.
And a smile never hurt, either. Why these dudes always hafta fuck like they’re mad?

A smile or too wouldn’t hurt. I think that Lexi Cruz and Itlalia Blue had two of the prettiest smiles before they left the biz. The smile would draw you into the scene because for the most part it looked as if they liked what they were doing and the people that they were with.
Dudes for the most part are just there as props and don’t get any further direction than just bang it in there.
Speaking of cunnilingus on screen: You ever noticed that older porn (from the 70s, 80s mid 90s) actually did it correctly? I guess folk wanted to see the “inner workings” and because of that films have been getting it wrong for years.

You know I’ve not seen anyone do it like Justin Slayer. He has those girls looking like they don’t care if they get paid, and are willing to give him some money.

Justin does have that level of personality and he has crossed over on several DVDs but he has a long way to go to reach that Perfect Porn Star Label.
