Original subtitles

The one person I really wouldn't want to find me watching porn

would be my wife because I really don't want to hurt her.

You know, I never, ever wanted to watch porn and hurt my wife

or have her feel betrayed which is what pornography does to a spouse.

So in its worst, on a bad day,

it could be two or three hours of bingeing,

you know, just Twitter and feasting on this buffet of two-minute videos.

Just constantly diving into it which is why I class it as an addiction.

The programme contains strong language, nudity, adult content and graphic discussion about the pornography industry and sex

Porn.

It's only ever a mouse click away.

Whoever you are, wherever you are.

No-one needs to know you are looking at it

and it's absolutely free.

In Britain, we've become so worried, there are now plans to block

under-18s from watching online porn.

Yes.

Yes, I know you're cumming, you're cumming, you're cumming.

Since this programme started, one minute ago,

more than 50,000 people

have gone onto the world's biggest internet porn site, Pornhub.

How often would you use porn now?

Sometimes two times a day,

up to maybe easily probably minimum five times a week.

It's hard to, like, get into bed with your phone in your hand

and not then look at porn.

Yeah.

Pornhub alone receives 92 million visitors a day,

that's like the combined population of Spain and Uganda logging on.

"Big tit anal..".

It's an industry that's worth billions.

If I didn't think that I could make $50,000 to $60,000 a month,

if I didn't think I could do that, I wouldn't be doing this.

The genie is out of the bottle.

The internet was made for porn.

We brought porn to the masses.

There is more porn flooding the Earth than ever before

in the history of mankind.

We'll explore how we got here, how porn became free,

and how it exploded across the world.

I just can't get my head round

that 11-, 12-, 13-year-olds are watching porn.

I feel like I was fucked up because I was watching porn at 12 years old.

We'll also try to understand

if porn is beginning to change you.

Because, whether you want to admit it or not,

you are the people watching it.

Have fun, rolling and action.

There is a revolution going on in the world of porn,

19-year-old Gia is six months into her porn career.

It's a job she's aspired to since she was just 12.

I do anal, I do girl-girl, I do boy-girl, I'm doing boy-boy-girl,

I'm pretty open.

I don't really have a line right now.

I'm reaching for the stars.

The days of soft-focus, erotic fantasy are long gone.

The kind of porn Gia makes was once labelled extreme.

Today, it's everywhere.

You can watch it on your smartphone.

So in a world where it's easier than ever before to watch

extreme content, it's time to ask...

..is porn beginning to change us?

This is Cam Girl: The New Movie,

Latin Teens, Anal Newbies 8,

Rocko's Hard Academy Part 4 Goes Live,

Anal Darling 2, DP Bandits, Hooked Up Hot Shots, Double Anal Addiction,

Sloppy Anal Babe, Young Butt Sex Nymphos.

Anal, everything is anal,

Anal Depraved.

I don't got to watch it, you know, but, yeah,

I sometimes do see a little sometimes things I have to question.

This is the head office of porn production company Evil Angel.

When the company started out 30 years ago, it broke new ground...

..making explicit content with a focus on anal sex.

But as porn has exploded across the internet, the boundaries have

been pushed further and further.

Today, you'll find this kind of porn everywhere.

It's industry standard.

My name is Adam Grayson.

I'm the Chief Financial Officer of Evil Angel.

I don't take what we do for a living all that seriously.

I mean, we are in the pants-around-ankles masturbation business.

So this is our content team.

The wandering souls who have to watch porn all day, every day.

MUSIC: GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

That's God Save The Queen.

Well, I did that for you.

This was given to us by... Given to me by an Evil Angel super fan

as an example of his thanks for all the fine service that we provide.

I have to review probably close to 80%

of everything that comes through our doors.

It's a lot, a rough guess would be

anywhere from, like, two to six hours of content a day.

I've been here 11 years now.

There are now 103 Evil Angel movies being viewed right now

or being downloaded as we speak.

So, October 1st we have Anal Investigation.

That is an interesting title.

Evil Angels owner is John Stagliano.

Anal Gaping Nurses.

I haven't heard of that title before.

He created a type of porn that came to define the company.

In 1994, or maybe it was January of '95,

AVN came up with a name

for this first-person, POV kind of thing that I was doing in Buttman.

And they called it Gonzo...

Yes, more, more. Bend over just a little bit more.

..which they took from what was used

to describe Hunter Thompson's writing,

where he would interview a person or go to Las Vegas

with that person or something and he would talk about

his personal reactions to the person and he would be part of the story.

Can you, can you take that off?

Is that possible?

This amateur point-of-view style is what dominates porn today.

Can I touch?

What's this?

This is where all the real magic happens, all the ones and zeros,

this is all the video library just storing a lot of video.

This is the heart of the monster, if you will.

It's about a half a petabyte, maybe a little more.

600 terabyte, something like that. Petabyte is 1024 terabytes,

so more than half a petabyte, I believe, at this point.

That's a lot of porn.

It's a lot of porn.

It would take you about five solid months to watch

all of Evil Angel's content,

but it's minuscule if you compare it to the world's biggest free site,

Pornhub.

The content uploaded to Pornhub in five months,

would take you 48 years to watch.

Tracy, you watch... Would you watch porn on your own quite a lot?

Yeah, if we go on either of our phones,

if you go onto, like, Safari,

it says the most viewed things that you look at.

And mine's Pornhub and yours is that... Yeah.

Every time you touch your phone, that's... You are kind of associated

with like a dog and a bone, like, they hear the food,

and you start salivating, like, every time you touch your phone,

you're like, "This is what brings me pleasure," and it's hard to

then get into bed with your phone in your hand and not then look at porn.

So when you first looked at online porn,

do you remember what kind of sex you were seeing?

Yeah, so I remember the video, I can tell you...

I couldn't tell you the name of the actor... You know the video?!

..but I remember the video straight up

and this is the most interesting thing was the fact

that when I was watching it, it was actually an anal video.

I didn't know that it was anal, to me that was normal so it's...

What do you mean you didn't know it? What do you mean by that?

You were confused by what you were seeing?

I wasn't... I wouldn't say I was confused,

I just thought that was sex, so like to me like I didn't realise

he had it in her arse pretty much like I thought that was...

Normal.

Yeah, I didn't think it was like, you know,

but, yeah, I thought that was sex.

Fallon is our photo editor,

she's in charge of selecting imagery for everything.

So, she gets to look at photos all day, until her eyes bleed.

I'm choosing hardcore photographs,

a set of five, to represent scenes and I'm picking whatever

is closest to the camera, whatever looks the most obscene,

and I have to think like a guy, as to like what would they want to see

immediately to judge, "This is a scene worth buying and downloading."

Trying to predict our tastes or even influence them

is at the heart of the internet porn industry.

What you might not realise is that when you visit big free porn sites,

they keep a very close eye on what you search for,

what you click on and even the point you skipped to in a video.

Then they use artificial intelligence and clever algorithms

to offer you new videos based on what they think you might like.

It's a bit like online shopping.

Retailers typically feed your purchase history

into a recommendations algorithm.

So if you have just bought a bottle of suntan lotion,

they might try and sell you a new bikini.

Porn is no different.

The masses of customer data collected by the free site

is also fed back to producers

so they can make more of what's popular

and that can be surprising.

So with millions of eyeballs on internet porn every day,

it makes you wonder

who's really making the choice about what porn we watch?

Us or them?

Six months into her porn career, Gia is heading to a shoot with

one of Evil Angel's most-prolific directors.

I am going to Jonni Darkko's apartment to do anal.

We'll take pictures, we'll maybe do a tease probably,

and then we'll just get into the sex.

This is only I think my third anal scene this month,

that's what Evil Angels are about.

That's great, twist the butt to me a little more.

Right there, right there, right there. Good.

Good, beautiful, they look beautiful.

Now just nice and...

There we go. Beautiful. Good.

Jonni Darkko shoots and performs in his videos,

which he himself describes as extreme.

Nice and easy, there you go.

Now bring both knees up a little bit more,

there you go.

Gia is 19,

Jonni is 53.

Now lean back and grab your bootie.

What is this for, Jonni?

It's a movie called I Love Anal.

We will see how crazy it gets.

That's a nice little move there, girl.

Following your hands, I love it.

Good. Come up to your face, turn around and find me, boom.

Nice.

Good, perfect.

Go warm up and take this upstairs.

If you guys want to shoot a little bit upstairs,

you're cool, you can do that, too, but we're going to start soon,

probably in the next half an hour. Grab that.

Cool, everything good? Yeah.

Grab your shoes.

Come upstairs and we can kind of...

It's kind of a little better up here.

Plus the damn cat ain't up here.

So, Jonni, can you tell me what is actually going to happen in the scene?

We are going to shoot a boy-girl anal scene.

Nothing... I mean, we'll just kind of keep it simple,

but some of it's POV, so it's point of view, you know?

So people can get an idea of what it's like to look down at that

and that and the whole thing.

If you guys want to shoot a little bit of that, you can.

We will catch you later on.

One of the big trends in the porn industry

is to show women looking shocked and maybe sometimes scared...

..but I personally like to add in photos,

like this one of her smiling,

cos me personally I would like to see at least one image

out of five where the female is actually enjoying herself

and not scared.

I have been here since March 4th.

It's been a very eye-opening experience...

..in many, many ways.

Because a lot of this is really hardcore, really obscene sex.

It was clear Fallon had more to say,

but the open-plan office was making things a little difficult for her.

Most of us spend no more than ten minutes on a single visit

to the world's biggest porn site.

But for some, minutes can soon turn into hours.

How often would you use porn now?

I'd probably say recently,

a lot, like...

..five times a week maybe.

I'd probably sometimes two times a day,

up to maybe easily probably a minimum five times a week.

It's probably got to the point where you are literally spending

an hour or an hour and a half to find that perfect video,

because you've seen so many, you've seen them all and it's now boring.

This programme contains strong language, nudity, adult content and graphic discussion about the pornography industry and sex

It's hard to go without it.

Just like, for example, sometimes you go on holiday.

You can't get porn on the phone,

because some countries I have been in, you just can't find it anywhere.

When you're in Korea, it's really difficult. Because it's blocked.

But it is, if you're in Thailand, you can't access porn on your phone.

Yeah, if you're not connected.

So where do you think it becomes something that you're in control of,

or...or porn on the internet is sort of in control of you?

I think it is in control of us.

Hey, guys.

Hi.

All right, love?

Yeah.

Hey.

You all right, baby?

Yeah. Had a good day?

Yeah.

Hey, darling, hey.

What have you got, what have you got?

You guys have been through quite a lot.

Yeah. Would you say you're happier now?

BABY CRIES Hey, sh, sh, sh...

Yeah.

Our marriage definitely,

yeah, best it's ever been,

especially the last the last year or so. I think the good thing is

that everything that we went through,

because we've come out of it and there's freedom now, I think it's

actually drawn us in closer, hasn't it?

Yeah, yeah.

So, I would probably say that we're closer now

than we've ever been before, even before all this happened.

I think we're definitely tighter than we've ever been.

I mean, Lydia, is it fair to say Rob's a recovering porn addict?

Recovered - I would say, yeah, so he's not...

He was in a period of recovering, I guess,

but I would say recovered now.

You know, I haven't watched pornography now for as long as

I can remember, so I'd say that we are,

I am recovered, not recovering.

What did it look like on a daily basis when you were in the throes

of porn addiction?

So, in its worst, on a bad day, it could be two or three hours

of bingeing, feasting on this buffet of two-minute videos,

just constantly diving into it. But I was trying to stop at all times,

because I really don't want to hurt her,

whether it's the man or the woman,

the other one does feel betrayed, mostly.

Did you feel betrayed, Lydia?

Yeah, cos it's not me.

He's finding comfort in someone else, um, yeah.

What's the matter? BABY CRIES

Did it make you feel less?

Yeah, it makes you feel like you're not enough.

I mean, it's hard because obviously...

Her dummy's over there, by the way.

..I've had three kids in quite a small space of time,

and obviously that does affect you. It changes your body,

it changes your emotions, your hormones, everything.

So, I felt like it's partly my fault

because I wasn't giving him what he needed.

Rob, when you were at your most extreme with watching porn,

would you ever try and make excuses to find a time to go and watch it?

Um, I remember times where, say, I'd be driving around

quoting jobs for my business.

You're a painter and decorator?

Yeah, I run a decorating company, and I would find myself coming home

from that quote and then kind of feeling that urge

and knowing Lydia will be home in about an hour from the school run,

so if I get home quickly now... I mean, this is like a year and

a half ago, but I would put my foot down to get home quickly, so I could

have that time and that freedom, if you like, to be able to just

view porn at my leisure and feast on the opportunity of that pornography.

Do you think that some of the things that you want to do

are influenced by what you've seen in porn?

Yeah, because you learn new things on porn, so, like, there have

been some stuff that obviously I wouldn't have a clue about

and then I've seen, like, a porn video, and I was like,

"Oh, that looks good." Obviously that influences you

to try different things.

There's the thought of being forceful,

so, like, for example, you might just see a guy might throw

himself on a girl, and she might like it, or he does stuff like

controls her sort of in a really aggressive way. I mean, I like when

I'm watching porn, like slapping and choking, it's quite a norm.

I think it is quite a norm, like, cos it happens in porn all the time.

Yeah. And I think girls pick up on it as well,

and I think maybe when girls watch porn, you always see the girl

enjoying it and liking it, so it's definitely something that's big.

Now we're out of the office, what do you really think of the photos

that you're editing?

They're fucking disgusting.

They are abhorrent.

And a lot of these photographs, you can tell just by looking

at a female performer's eyes,

who's enjoying it and who's not.

You can tell the ones that are empowered by it,

they're like, "Fuck yeah, this is my life, this is... I own this.

"This is my body, and I can do whatever I want with it."

And then there's other girls that unfortunately just,

even some guys that look like, "What the fuck am I doing here?"

Or, "I really need to pay rent."

I've always been a huge fan of pornography all the way back

to college, which was part of the reason why I was so intrigued

to work for Evil Angel and the porn industry

because I felt like it would be celebrating life.

I took these photographs a couple of years ago.

They were a friend of a friend.

I just wanted to capture the authenticity of their lovemaking.

It was very nice. Probably sounds strange to most people, but

it was very freeing and I thought, you know, "I can definitely see

"myself doing this for a living."

I never watched degrading porn. I never sought that out.

I didn't really know it existed.

I knew it existed, I just didn't know how bad it was.

That particular genre of porn tells today's youth

that sex is only to be enjoyed by the man.

He's supposed to cum in my face, he's supposed to slap me

and manhandle me and this is how we should expect to be treated.

I don't think that this type of pornography should be produced.

Oh, yeah, you've got to do this one, too.

Give me that, give me that.

Hold on, let me kill this light that's blasting my fucking retina.

Thank you. Burning my fucking eyeball out.

How did it go?

Awesome.

SHE LAUGHS Here we go. Bye, sweetpea.

Bye, thank you. Awesome work.

Thank you.

Gia grew up in a churchgoing family.

She left her hometown in Ohio to come to LA.

She's been signed to one of the industry's top agents

and is already earning between $4,000-$6,000 a week.

She's shot almost 100 scenes.

Now, you've done so many.

Yeah. Does it feel like just kind of a pretty normal day's work.

Yeah, it was a normal day's work.

It was pretty good. I put, um, these little, like, white balls

in my butt today, and I actually haven't done that before.

So, that was fun.

They were like ball pit balls, like, when you jump into like a ball pit.

They're quite big.

I think they're a little smaller.

I don't know. It was like...

I mean, a lot of people would think that that's quite sort of crazy.

Like, so...

..no, I don't think it's crazy.

It might be a little, like, taboo, like, not everyone's doing it.

But...

Does that then, like, feed into your personal life?

Yeah, like, I feel...

Like, does porn sex and non-porn sex sort of...?

..intertwine, yeah. I feel like my sexuality is just, like, so,

so much broader.

Like, it's just porn has opened... Actually doing porn has opened up so

many, like, sexual doors for me that I didn't even know that...

Or lines that I didn't even know that I wanted to cross.

Like, yeah, definitely.

When I first got in the business, it was, like, people who came to

LA to be an actor or this or that

and kind of got waylaid

and kind of fell into the business.

But now, with the advent of the internet,

it's more you can see girls...

..desire to be in porn.

That's their goal, they research it, they watch it.

They're not falling into it. That is, you know,

what they aspire to do.

For me, I like to sit down and talk to them

and I want to know besides that they're business-minded,

I want to know that they're perverts.

Because I want them to be doing this because

it's what they really like to do, because they will last much longer.

But when I talk to her, you know, "I'll do double vag,

"I'll do ass-to-mouth, I'll do DP ATM,

"I'll do, you know, cum swapping," all this and all that.

And if a girl, and I'm like, "Have you done porn before?"

She's like, "No, I just turned 18."

In school, as soon as I hit puberty, I was immediately, like, labelled

a whore, and cos I had this big butt and like guys would literally

just walk up to me in the hallway and just like smack it or grab it.

And, like, I had just so much anxiety, I didn't know how to handle

that, so I just accepted that I was a whore, like, in eighth grade

because that's what everyone said.

So, watching porn during that time made me feel like

I wasn't alone and it made me feel like it wasn't necessarily wrong

to have sexual desires and it wasn't necessarily wrong to have sex.

I really hated myself for the longest time

because, like, I wanted sex all the time.

And that was wrong.

Being in porn, I just fit in, and everyone else, like,

has the same like sexual desires and urges that I have,

so it's kind of nice to be around that.

It's almost as if porn has given Gia a way to own her sexuality,

to reclaim it from the school kids who used to taunt her.

For now, at least, she's in a world where she feels accepted.

This programme contains strong language, nudity, adult content

and graphic discussion about the pornography industry and sex.

I'm trying to think... I remember the first time... Do you? Aw.

..we watched porn but I remember because...

I remember because the ones that you...

Because it was you that chose it. That French couple? Yeah.

And it's a couple that basically...

Really hot. I just remember propping the phone up,

watching porn and then you were like...

Yeah, I think it literally was...

It was, like, on the pillow. Yeah.

You were on all fours and then I was kind of, like, over the top,

behind, and then you, kind of, got the view of the porn

for both of us, yeah. Yeah. It was nice. On a tiny little phone.

For Freddy and Tracy,

watching porn together has been a big part

of their relationship since they met a year ago.

It's something they enjoy.

But porn can often be very secretive

and grow into something compulsive.

So, I had this on all my devices.

It's called Accountable2You

and it just looks like this icon here on my phone.

So, I've got all my normal...

I've got Facebook on there, got my Chelsea app

and then that Accountable2You,

it's on my phone but it's...

Lydia's my accountability partner.

So, for example, because...

If I was to type on any of my devices

"porn" or even words like "sext" or...

Even "addiction", anything.

"Addiction", it would flag up a warning.

So, does that ping on your phone, then, Lydia? Yeah.

And then do you look at it?

Yeah. So, it will say, like, "questionable activity"

and that's on his phone. So, even, like, voice searches,

if it can be questionable at all

it will flag something up and send me an e-mail.

So you obviously felt you needed that?

Yeah. Yeah.

What was that giving you, by having that app?

This programme, for me, helped me so that I remember

days in the recovering process,

where I would want to watch porn and,

if I had access to porn without my wife finding out,

I probably would have turned to it, I would have given in.

Not being able to get away with it in that moment

was, kind of, the final ability to say, "No."

Rob would regularly spend two or three hours

looking for the perfect video while Lydia lay asleep up in bed.

But that perfect video didn't exist

because there was always one more to watch.

There's disagreement as to whether porn should be

classified as addictive.

What's not in doubt is that there are many like Rob

whose porn use has become compulsive.

For me, personally, pornography had started when I was a teenager.

Erm, I went through... I then got into a relationship where

I continued to use pornography and it caused a lot of tension.

She'd find images on my phone, erm, you know, videos.

It broke her inside because she loved me

and she wanted to be the only woman that...that I saw,

you know what I mean? In THAT way.

I remember porn that, you know, you would see a certain porn

and it would be so arousing, you know, like, they were all

arousing but then there's that one video,

or something like that, you're like,

"Whoa, that just ticked every single possible box. That woman looked

"the way... That act... Like, everything."

And it's, kind of, like, years later that still...

I mean, if I let myself now I could go to those memories, I could.

I don't because I have this thing in my head.

I feel like the thought's like a dog on a lead

and I keep that... If that thought tries to get out

I'm like, "Yank that."

I don't let it go anywhere now. No.

So, do you think, when you see a guy, like, from that perspective

and there's a girl, do you think that guy is you, then?

Well, yeah, I'd say that's how you imagine it. OK.

So, if you're watching point of view porn, you're imagining you're

the person who's in that situation. That's how I would do it.

Yeah. So, you're thinking about having sex with other women

when you're watching it? No, of course not!

You are not thinking about it,

but you're almost trying to, you know, you're thinking...

You're in that position?

Yeah, like, that's your scenario.

I just think I'm watching other people having sex.

That's how I see porn. Yeah. As opposed to, "I'm in the porn."

I don't think that's my vagina. Yeah.

But you think that's your cock when you're watching it?

I guess you do. Mm-hm. You're not watching something

because you're wanting to sit outside of a situation

and just look in and watch it. Yeah.

I would have thought everybody, kind of, puts themselves

into that scenario as opposed to sit back out of it and, kind of,

watches it from the fence.

Why is porn wrong? Why is it harmful?

I mean, one of the things I feel, the biggest issue is it

completely separates sex and love and, ultimately,

if you build something just on that,

it becomes very empty,

it becomes very shallow and unsatisfying

and basically what porn's doing is selling people a lie and a fantasy.

For me, it got to a point where I'm looking at women

and all I'm seeing is, you know, boobs and bum,

that's all I'm seeing.

I'm not seeing the person and that's what people

are looking at, you know? Yeah.

Women are just objects now. Yeah. Now, today.

I have had partners before, you know, previous life,

and we've watched porn together because that partner

has said, "I want to."

Or has agreed and said it's fine and then I even remember once seeing

the person months later. Major, major row because, you know, like,

insecurities really kicked into her.

"Oh, you were thinking about that porn

"when we were just having sex then."

So, although they're saying it's fine, couples,

it is definitely putting in somebody insecurity.

"I'm not enough."

I'd always had, like...

I'd been around people that would say,

"I don't want you to look at porn magazines, that's cheating."

Like, they would say to their partners.

And I would think, "How is it cheating when

"you're looking at other people?

"Like, you're not texting somebody or seeing somebody or sleeping with

"somebody, that you are viewing other couples."

Like, so, to me, I really struggled

to see how women wouldn't allow their husbands to look at porn

and I thought, "That's really weird."

But now we've had, like, this revelation where he's like,

"I'm thinking about fucking all these women." And I'm putting

myself in... I'm not thinking about it, it's a subconscious feeling.

Yeah, but I didn't know you viewed it like that.

I thought you were just being a Peeping Tom also,

watching a couple having sex, not you thinking,

"That woman's riding me."

Yeah, I never saw it as a cheating thing,

but, actually, if you are then fantasising about having sex

with multiple women, that probably is something you shouldn't do.

But it wouldn't be cheating unless something actually happened.

Only you know what you're really thinking

when you look at porn.

But whether it's divisive or not,

while there's money to be made,

pornographers are going to keep on making it.

"You are the owner of Evil Angel Studio pornography.

"Your job before was male stripper and porn actor,

"which was immoral and disgusting.

"Your company now, Evil Angel, is an evil, bad production company.

"You, Mr John, are a sinner, adulterer

"and sexually immoral person.

"Your product, porn sex, is full of lust that makes Americans

"become pervert, nasty, adulterer fornicators."

See, this is the guilt I have to live with. It's horrible.

Let's see, right here. "Again, sin always hurts in pornography,

"hurts marriage, families and children."

Oh, God.

It is a controversial area, you know?

Pornography.

Maybe he's right.

Where is your responsibility as a producer and distributor?

So, there's a hubris involved

with thinking that you know what's

best for other people and, erm,

I try and be careful not to have

too much of that in my life.

Porn democratises pleasure.

Pornography is stuff for the masses of people, for poor people,

for the average person to get pleasure out of sex which

used to be only restricted to, like, you know, King Henry VIII

and things like that, people who could just

indulge in their sexual fantasies.

Now, the common man can

get off sexually and I think that's

a great thing about pornography.

The programme contains strong language, nudity, adult content

and graphic discussion about the pornography industry and sex.

You put saline solution, like, in your eyes?

Yeah.

Is that a thing?

Yeah.

It's sterile so it, like, cleans.

And does it hurt?

No.

Gianna is 21.

She started her porn career a few months after Gia.

They share the same agent.

So, what's...? Tell me about your eye.

Oh, I have an eye infection because a guy came in my eyes.

Today is the first day

that it hasn't been, like, excruciating pain,

but, yeah, for, like, the past four or five days

it's been, like...I couldn't open my eyes in the morning.

Yeah, and when I look into bright like it feels like I'm blind.

So, yeah, zero out of ten recommend getting cum in your eye.

It's not a fun time.

Does that happen often?

To me it does, yeah,

because a lot of the cum shots are, like, on your face,

so it's kind of hard to not get it in your eye.

Does it happen to you as well?

Yeah, all the time, all the time.

It's just, like, it just has...

Hazardous. Yeah.

Have no aim.

I hate it.

You do? Mostly because it gets in my eyes,

I don't really care if it's on the rest of my face but... Oh, my God.

Can you request for that not to be how it ends?

Yeah, but the probably wouldn't like it.

They will probably just be like, "Oh, well."

Cos they are paying us for the scene,

like, they have a certain way they want the scene to go, so.

This is a lovely breakfast conversation.

Right.

Back in the '70s, you would only really see

what has become known as the money shot in a hardcore porn film -

but now almost every porn scene finishes this way.

It's standard practice.

Can you just have a look at this clip?

This is from, like, an anti-porn campaigner,

and just tell us what you think? It's about 40 seconds.

So what do we see in mainstream porn?

Gagging, rough anal sex, ejaculation on face, ATM, hair pulling

and spitting in her face.

So the standard porn scene.

One woman, three men. She's being gagged.

She's being penetrated orally, anally,

and then they all ejaculate on her face.

What do you think about what she's saying?

It's two different people's opinions on it,

so the way she's, obviously, she's saying that,

it sounds absolutely disgusting,

it sounds like the three men are forcing a woman to do

whatever they want to do - obviously dirty stuff as well,

but at the same time what she is not saying,

the women could be the one wanting that to happen,

so it's different ways of viewing it.

Because you know... You know it's porn, that's the thing,

it's not like, like - I have never watched porn

and thought that I want to force - like, do that,

like, unless someone liked it or not,

because I know it's porn, I know it's fake, I know it's acting,

like, it's just there - some people like that, some people don't.

Gianna has continued working despite the eye infection -

but Gia has been forced to take some time out.

OK, I need to empty this.

I'm disgusting!

So the gynaecologist that I went to

told me that I can't have any penetration for at least a month.

Basically, I tore my cervix,

and also my bladder was really beat up, like, beaten up.

It was just, like, my insides were just, like, beaten up, really.

From too much sex?

From, yeah, from too much porno sex.

Pretty much.

I went from having sex, like, maybe once a week,

to having sex, like, a lot,

and just, like, really hard, like, pounding, yeah,

probably also a lot of the dicks were a lot bigger

than I've ever had, like, in my life, so...

It sounds really painful.

It was very painful Yeah, it's painful, it's really painful.

Are you going to do it long term?

I don't think so. I don't think so.

Did that sort of cross your mind, like...?

Yeah, I guess - I mean, even with like STDs and stuff, and STIs -

well, STIs, like chlamydia and gonorrhoea can affect your body

in negative long term ways, I guess, with fertility and stuff.

Is that quite scary?

Yeah, yeah, it is - but I mean, I don't really want kids,

but then it is still, like, pretty fucked up,

cos, like, it's inevitable, it goes around.

CHATTER

Most people work in, like, office buildings.

They have sad, sad lives.

I didn't want to be stuck in an office for my whole life, you know?

This is just what I want to do.

Like, I can't see myself doing anything else.

I have wanted to do porn since I was in, like, seventh grade.

So it's just like something that I've been so passionate about.

It's not really like fame. Like, I'd rather have, like,

the money than the recognition, probably, just because, like...

To survive and to live comfortably.

SHE LAUGHS

These girls can make more money than a doctor,

without having to go through the degree.

If they're smart, listen, pay attention,

then they can make a good living for quite a long time.

Within the internet age,

the shelf life of a porn actor like Gia is uncertain.

It could be a matter of months, or a few years if she's lucky...

..and millions of online viewers are constantly searching

for the next new thing, the next new Gia.

Fallon has already walked away from porn.

The impact of looking at hardcore content has proved too much.

She's now quit her job with Evil Angel.

I...

I just felt like I met my limit.

In fact, I think I went over my limit.

Rob is continuing to fight the urge to watch porn.

Throughout his life, he's struggled with addictions.

This battle has been intense, and it went on for years.

And I would say, by far, the hardest drug I ever had to get off

was pornography - by far.

I don't think porn just stops the minute you stop looking at it.

It's deeply embedded in the brain pattern.

There's another woman in the room, you know?

So, you know, I call porn "The other woman".

I'm going to give you your pep talk here, in all sincerity.

We're just going to say it's, like, your first scene,

and this is your, erm, introductory shoot, OK?

So there's no pressure on it.

Yeah. It's a hot girl, and you're going to fuck her.

Like, I'm serious. Like, no pressure, OK?

All right. OK.

If I didn't think that I could make $50,000-$60,000 a month,

if I didn't think I could do that, I wouldn't be doing this.

Do not abdicate your responsibility to educate on what sex is,

and therefore what porn is.

It's his first time. How are you feeling?

I don't really know! I'll let you know in an hour.
