Why do so many Brit Girls retire too soon..?

is it best not to get too keen on new girls because how many times do we see a great new girl do some films and before you know it, they've retired or changed their levels of work like no more b/g stuff..i'm thinking Cate Harrington here.
Has anyone noticed that what are often regarded as the top American or european girls seem to just keep going..i'm thinking from the states Lisa Ann Michelle Lay Julia Ann Tory Lane Alektra Blue Jenna Haze Eva Angelina Monique Alexander and europe Sophie Moone Sandra Shine Dora Venter Sandy Vera versanyi Monica Sweet..the list is endless.
does this just confirm that generally there ain't much money working in brit porn or it has to be said, perhaps a lot of brit girls are not in the same league as the likes of sandra shine, sophie moone etc. and can't possibly earn what they do.

You can see many answers to this on the other thread but basically there simply isn't enough work for a girl to make a living unless she escorts as well. The porn business in the UK is tiny and getting smaller every week !

Dora Venter is now working in a London hospital doing her original profession - nurse !

Some one hospitalise me and make sure Im in her department! Wow can you imagine her in some nice sheer black stockings and high heels and that pert bum in her nurses uniform?....Drool city man!

What Dave said otherwise. If there was money and more work going on theyd be sticking around longer but Dave forgot to mention the real main reason is a lot of girls soon run out of steam with the porn biz for the amount of time wasters who book them then dont show because they find out they havent got the funds to pay up.

That seems to be the main reason I hear direct from the models. One only has to read their gripes on Face Book profiles

By the way, the comparison between the UK and europe isnt really fair unless you know what is going on out there. Even Sophie Moone retired for a while. Sandra Shine too I believe,

If anything, they are probably back because they werent making the money they were accustomed to from modelling

Another cause for a career change is the stds piss models off havingto take two weeksoff to medicate and lose work....The list goes on...Then there is just plain getting bored with shagging the same people all the time too I guess, but no ones saying that !happy!

Mr Wells is correct on Dora so far as I last heard....she is I believe a
specialist nurse (very specialist - ho ho) dealing with some obscure
branch of medicine. Thru most of her career in porn she combined it
with nursing work.....Sophie Moone lasted as long as she has because
a web company developed a site around her but like so many girls she
also does escorting these days of the top dollar variety ! Sandra Shine
worked hard to develop her own web site, which she owns, and shoots
for it every month.

Yeh and also forgot the reason why I quit as it was the opposite...
Model time wasters.

The US market is in the claart aswell according to the Telegraph. Free download sites and internet piracy have killed the studios.
On the other hand I think the top US stars have much better business nous than ours and keep themselves in better nick. Some of our older girls look a little jaded compared to Nine Hartley or Julia Ann.

They have a better "business nous because they understand that everything about being in the media (and porn can be considered the same with many people like Sasha Grey crossing over to mainstream) is about image and looking good in general.

Many believe image is more important than even talent. You can create talent in a studio these days but if the girl looks like a slob its going to be a lot harder to convince people

From discussion with the models I work with yes if after the initial surge of work when new to the scene they want more than irregular money they need to do something in addition to modeling but there are options other than escorting although admittedly little can match the hourly rate.

Several do, or at least did, get a decent income from webcam work and membership of their own websites, both mainly from the USA. The downside for webcamming is having to be working very late at night and into the early hours when evening in USA.

Totally agree, Julia Ann, Nina and my personal fave Lisa Ann look absolutely superb !
