Why is there so much violence and torchure in the porn industry?

[Pro24]

Why is there so much violence in porn industry? Why do they torchure porn stars behind the scenes? (I had read some answers and watched some videos of ex porn stars). 

What's the need? 

Why don't they just do soft sex? 

I dislike 2 things :

1. BDSM 
2. Behind the scenes torchure/abuse. 

In this thread, my primary focus is on the 2nd point. Why violence?

Porn often shows sex in really extreme ways just to grab attention and make money. It can make violence or dominance seem normal or even exciting. I think that is wrong because it does not represent real sex. However, we live in a world where money talks.

[Leo Gura]

Because only a dysfunctional and low consciousness human would be invovled in the porn industry.

There isn’t, you’re listening to a skewed sample of the vocal ones who experienced it. Plenty others say they didn’t. 
 

And they do film soft sex, it isn’t all bdsm.

@Leo Gura, is only the industry low consciousness and dysfunctional or the whole thing?

What makes it uniquely low conscious and is that a bad thing?

Contemplate why the selling of sex is low consciousness.

Porn is mostly catered towards the male gaze. Some men get desensitized when they watch porn so they crave more hardcore stuff,  that’s one reason

Everything is about power struggle, so the amount of control one wish to have in manipulative way, is going to spill over when things dont go your way.

At least give me some hints....Contemplating is a big headache on this topic becoz... In one post, you said this :

Those who don't appreciate porn are barbarians and project their barbarism onto others. 

What is your opinion on porn? Can u please explain? @Leo Gura How it should look like? 

One more question : 

Do you agree that BDSM porn (even if it's consensual) leads to spreading misogyny and rapes (especially among immature audience)❓ What do u think about BDSM?

This is concerning. But then again, Leo only expects 1% of those who follow his work to succeed in self-actualizing.

I am posting some Quora answers here : 

Quote

As expected, the highest voted answer is all rosy and nice-smelling about all those "really nice girls". The really nice girls obviously didn't tell her about:

1. The constant drug usage by all performers to get through the inhuman experience of their bodies getting mercilessly violated for the world to see. (Yes. Having sex on camera - unless you're an exhibitionist - feels as inhuman as you always thought it did.)
2. The AIMs' main job being sewing up torn vaginas and bleeding anuses.
3. How common it is for girls to lose bowel control on sets during anal.
4. How common it is for girls to throw up in the toilet between scenes from the revulsion of the whole experience.
5. How it feels when you're forbidden from wiping off the body fluids of men from your faces till 10 minutes after the filming for taking pictures.
6. How it feels when you're constantly told to "hold the positions" during sex acts.
7. How your body (leave alone mind) feels after you've done a gang bang scene with 25 men.
8. How it feels explaining things to your bawling 6 year old who's just been shown some of mum's juiciest photos by a revengeful ex-agent.

Porn is glamorous, no doubt.

 

Quote

A lot of people on the other side present a different picture because their livelihood depends on it. What do you expect a porn actress to do? Tell you all this about the industry so that you stop watching porn out of revulsion? That's not gonna happen. For obvious reasons you'll always have successful pornstars portraying porn as glamorous and empowering to women. It's only the EX pornstars who sometimes come out in the open and tell the truth.

MY REAL QUESTION IS THIS :

WHY IS THERE SO MUCH VIOLENCE, TORCHURE AND ABUSE....THINGS WHICH WE DON'T SEE ON SCREEN...? 

EVEN I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY KIND OF VIOLENCE OR BEATINGS BECAUSE MAYBE....I HAVEN'T VISITED THAT PART OF PORN YET. I DON'T LIKE SUCH THINGS...

When I searched BDSM...all thumbnails were disgusting.....I am only seeing chains and slavery there. 

But I am not talking about normal BDSM or beatings...I am talking about the horrible points written here. Like torn vaginas...and anuses....etc. 

Why these things happen, what's the problem with normal sex or normal BDSM?? I think people are sadists. That's why...

Also note that many have committed suicide in porn industry. It seems like most of them are suffering too much here. 

Is constant drugging so important to create porn?

 am not sure what to say here but I always wonder if women and girls came in porn industry because they get abuse and raped how men come here??? What worst thing they feel in their life that lead them to porn? they are men and they never being USED…(except guy thing) they come in industry with their own wish to blast those girls….

I think pornography is SILENT RAPE…the actress suffer all the slaps and dirty load and spitting because she know at the end of the shoot she get money…but think about normal child girls out there if they get rape they will be mentally traumatized.

Do you ever notice all the video shoot in Male point of view and all the rubbish and slang for women.

However some girls come in porno with their wish own wish but I couldn't say it is truth so…

Video present women as sexual object.

of course this is all acting but just think about their mental state when this thing happen to them they gone through thousand scream and plastic surgery for what??? For themselves or for viewers??? People watch video for their own enjoyment and after some time they delete it but actress still suffering…nobody love her..in her very deepest mind she loose her self esteem. Some people also commit suicide…this is the sign that they are no happy with sexual pleasure.

I never heard a men commit suicide because the reason is he is not being used….he does not know what it felt like to being object.

This is the difference between male brain and female brain.

If you think my answer is not that good sorry but I am also men and I have no idea what it feel like be a woman so please respect girls may be in future someone will become your daughter.

Just like any other job…people choose porn industry as a professional or something force them to choose it which is the saddest truth about porn industry because they have no other choice to do…I am not supporter of porn industry nor I am against it…I am not against it because many people choose it because they love to do it but at the same time I can't stand for it because some people have to do it because they need money to survive..well the argument can be made that “it happens in every job” Well porn industry isn't like “every other job”…it can destroy someone's life, it can put them in shame for the rest of their lives and forget about how society sees and haress them especially female sex workers.. Porn industry can be fun or the worst crime against humanity at the same time…sex tracking, abuse and many other factors also make porn industry worse…i hope that one day humanity would be so progressive that nobody would have to choose something to survive that they don't want to choose…

Also childhood sexual abuse and low self-esteem also lead people to choose porn industry…

They choose porn because they have nothing better to do in life, and they are most likely drug addicts, low lives, and uneducated. Porn is literally the worst job that a person could ever think of. I mean, what’s the point of doing disgusting acts in front of cameras?! Sex is supposed to be a private thing and not to be watched by millions of perverted people.

A Comment on this answer : 

Quote

I did porn out of desperation and low self esteem. I had no work skills and needed the money. It felt super exploitative knowing the camera people had money they could just help me with but I had to go through with shoots. They took hundreds of photos and video clips of my penis, balls and ass and face. I never got over how embarrassing it felt standing there naked while they took pics. I had to sign a model release but I didn’t think about pics being used for adds. They used some of the most explicit uncensored pics of me and cropped them into banners and everyone I knew eventually saw and they’re still being used today.

Is this the reason @Leo Gura why the selling of sex is low consciousness...

I am doubtful becz you said many things in past like "morality is a social construct".... And this post of yours :

We should always put ourselves in others' shoes and write with sensitivity. 

I have very little idea about the porn industry. Also I haven't watched any BDSM yet. I couldn't stand that. 

If @Leo Gura made a video on porn industry, I would be very thankful to him.

Don't you watch porn? What's the difference. Sometimes they do persecute the onlookers.
