Self destruction of a pornstar

This is a tribute site I did for a top name US pornstar called Chasey Lain.


It is so awful that she ended up a heroin addict and selling herself on the street for virtually nothing to get her next hit. Is it the adult industry that did this to her or her own personality?

I drink to much. I will openly admit it. That is my personality I developed a good taste for beer when running nightclubs.

Do certain industries push you into the realms of drug and drink abuse or is it the certain people that enter these industries who are prone to these problems?

I've seen a few photosets with Chasey, but none of her videos, and she's an astonishingly lovely woman. I'm sorry to hear of yet another person shooting their life away with a needle.

Personality,,I think Krome,
Loads of the girls I have worked with got into the industry looking for something and I don't think money. Fame & fortune may play a big part and does the odd few who are heart lazy and think fucking on film is easy money(they learn soon it hard work).
I have found most are looking for care they want to feel wanted they want to feel special, they love the thought of the guys on the forum wanting them and wanking over their vids/mags/pictures etc. They are not so keen on the actual contact but some even love the thought of that.
As this is a UK forum I will speak about UK girls I have never know a victim of the UK industry but I have met loads of victims coming into it. Only the strong survive and I am sure the girls will agree, get tough, work hard and forget your past is my advise. Try not to advertise yourself as a victim and less wolves will suround you.
Final bit, before one of the more literate guys re-writes this and spell corrects it.
If you want advise ask around the industry don't go by one producer/director/photographer/agents word ask loads. Then make up your own mind what you want to do etc.

i guess there are some questions which would need answering:

why did she go into the industry?

was the socially marginal and therefore potentially abusive environment of porn attractive to her? this would suggest already existing problems, on a personal level.

did she enter the industry because she was comfortable with her sexuality and had no *issues* with its exploitation?

if that were the case, she may have fallen victim to other circumstances - possibly related to the business, perhaps not. for instance, she may have been in an abusive relationship, or had a genetic/psychological disposition for addictive behaviour, which might have emerged where ever she was.

the sad fact is, all aspects of the entertainment industry - film, music, theatre, nightclubs, as well as porn, have sub cultures permeated with high levels of drug usage. many people can deal with this on a recreational level, some however, cannot.

a similar fate befell alicia rio, where she ended up on the streets of new york, although she is now attempting a come back. dominique simon had a cocaine problem... the list must be along one.

it would undoubtedly make a difference if society didn't scorn these women for what they do. it's not a coincidence that it's always the actions of women in relation to their sexuality that seems to mean they are not worthy of societies care and protection. prostitutes accept levels of abuse that would have other women ringing the police immediately.

the same societal attitude of fear mingled with contempt, used to apply to single mothers. as recently as the late 50's unmarried mothers were regularly committed to sanatoriums in order to supposedly cure their moral ill health!

in summation i'd say young women like chasey lain are more likely to have any human weakness they possess exploited, due to society's hypocrisy towards them, than if they were accorded the level of respect we are all entitled to.

one day we'll get there, perhaps.

OK Alicia Rio was a little bit mad as was her husband.

In all most girls who get into porn have some sort of problem be it usa or british girls. more american girls are in it for the big money that these top producers offer. but most of our british girls seem to be ex washed up page 3,s or page 3 hopefuls who didnt make it and just sink lower to earn a few bob. Wonder why most of our porn models start going into escort work. Seems they have high hopes of becoming big time models and fall into the lower paid jobs and suppose the drink and drugs only help them cope.

more likely the nature of 'addiction', this can make u do the stupidest things, the priorities are twisted to 'where is my next hit'

your use of the expression, "sinking lower" speaks volumes about your opinion of them, even as you watch their videos. they're women having sex for a living, so *obviously* they have a "problem"!

many of the "problems" confronting female performers, arise out of the patronising and misogynistic attitudes of society - including the men who actually buy their product. the dismissive language often used when talking about them, is a reflection of where the real "problem" lies.

if what they do seems degrading, it's only because we make it so.

I agree with Woodgnome on that. I think another problem for these girls is that when the big money does not start coming in and they see producers and distributors buying expensive cars and houses they must feel exploited given that what the girls are paid is a tiny fraction of the money to be made by the person who owns the rights to the scene. Who does the hardest job the people in front of the camera or the people behind it? Its certainly the people behind it who make the big money. Only a handfull of top US stars make big money. The male stars must feel even worse as they get paid a lot less than the girls although in the end they have a much longer career than the girls because nobody cares what the guys look like. If Randy West, Peter North or Ron "Hedgehog" Jeremy were women they would never have worked so long. And God forbid there was ever a female equivelant of Britains John Mason!!!

If you believe this you watched to much Dallas I don't know where you are getting this all from but if we all drive expensive cars etc etc etc where the f--k is mine. Ask the producers of the UK if they are making big money I know only two that are and they work their ass of every day.. And I would argue if they worked in any business it would be a success as they work so hard.
Its time you guys wised up get out of la-la land most of the girls earn more money through lap-dancing than I make sweating blood to earn a living, as pornstars they get booked everywhere to dance and everyone wants to pay them to sit on their knee.
The ones who escort do it cause they earn the same in 1hour with Mr Anon(complete with his premeture problems) as they can working a whole day getting ridden by the likes of Rocco etc.
I can blame them,
