When people generally think of female porn stars, they tend to think of blonde hair like Kayden Kross up there, or they think of gigantic, cartoonish fake breasts and loads of makeup and plastic surgery. And while that may be true for some of the older actresses from your creepy uncle’s generation, today’s porn actresses have built an all new mold of their own. So much, in fact, that one man’s study of porn star demographics has revealed something quite shocking about the average adult film starlet.
The average adult film actress is a brunette with a B-cup named Nikki, at least according to blogger Jon Millward, who spent six months analyzing the demographics of 10,000 porn stars drawn from the Internet Adult Film Database. But what’s known about porn stars beyond their breast size? Remarkably little, thanks to practically zero research funding and a community wary of researchers.
“The average span of a performer’s career is usually only about six to 18 months, so the benefit of participating in these things isn’t usually apparent to the people who are in it at the time,” Kayden Kross, an adult film actress and writer, told LiveScience. (Via Mother Nature Network)
That’s an incredible revelation. Porn actresses are basically the running backs of adult films. So what else goes into this kind of “porn demographics” analysis? The results may blow you… … … r mind. Had you fooled there for a second.
The stereotypical porn actress — with enormous breasts and blonde hair — doesn’t match reality, Millward found. In fact, the most common bra size among porn stars is a 34B, compared with 36C for the average American woman. High obesity rates among the public may explain some of the discrepancy in breast size; porn actresses are also thinner than the average American woman. According to the numbers given on Internet Adult Film Database profiles, the average female porn star weighs 117 pounds (53 kilograms), which is 48 pounds (22 kg) less than the average American woman.

The average male porn star weighs 167.5 pounds (76 kg), 27 pounds (12 kg) less than the national average of 195.7 pounds (89 kg) for men.
Nor are blondes as dominant as might be expected. Only 32.7 percent of porn actresses have blonde hair, whether natural or dyed. About 39 percent have brown hair, 22.5 percent have black hair, and only about 5 percent are redheads.
That means that an actress like Faye Reagan is practically a unicorn. Wait, I mean, who is Faye Reagan? What’s this about again? What’s porn? Why aren’t I in church right now? Stop judging me, heathens.




Holy shit. The average American woman is 165 lbs?
That is goddamn terrifying
I have to admit, I figured it’d be at least 175
They’re probably figuring in all American females, including the two-year-olds.
I mean for average female weight, not for the porn star stats, you pervs.
That sounds about right if we consider the ISO standard human weighs 75kg. Which is, when you round off the ounces, 165 lbs.
Women should be maybe 5kg / 11 lbs less, and men a similar amount more, but a woman who weighs 165 lbs isn’t automatically going to be obese, the same as a man of that weight isn’t automatically skinny. Height, musculature, frame etc all have an influence.
However, it being the average is maybe less than brilliant – but at least it isn’t 180+ …
You also have to factor in the average height, which makes a big difference depending on what your picturing in your own mind. Most people dont assume women can be super tall/big just like men.
I’d be okay if FIlmDrunk just started ending every post with a picture of Faye Reagan.
Seconded.
Thirded.
I’d be okay if FilmDrunk didn’t repost stuff several weeks after gawker. That’s how you KNOW it’s old news…
@raph.
But to counterpoint: Faye Reagan.
I have no clue who Faye Reagan is and I CERTAINLY don’t have several gigabytes of her career cataloged onto an external RAID drive.
You may know her as Faye Valentine. Or, not.
Not after renaming every file into a chronological playlist, I don’t. Er, uh, I mean, he doesn’t.
Kayden Kross is a goddamn angel. I actually like her too much to watch her get sexed by dudes who aren’t me.
Percentage of porn actors who have red hair? Holding steady at 0%. The last acceptable form of discrimination, now that we have to pretend not to abhor fatties, or the Welsh.
I hate when that happens.
Girls who are too pretty for porn who do porn is the worst…..actually no, girls like Monique Alexander who was too pretty for porn, got tons of porno plastic surgery and is now borderline too ugly for porn is probably worse.
Sophie Dee is Welsh… I mean… who?
“Porn actresses are basically the running backs of adult films.”
Completely physically used up, bankrupt and with no prospects for their life after 28?
eventually going under the alias “Ron Mexico”.
@Underball- So they are RBs who pretend to be QBs who pretend not to play football at all?
Greed, some of them are pretty good actresses.
Especially this one chick I saw in Virgin Cowgirls….I totally believed she was a virgin….don’t know why a virgin would have a tattoo of a black widow right next to her labia but she was very convincing.
@TBK: Because it was a promise tattoo, silly!
So who is this brunette, B-cupped Nikki? I need to know…uh, for a friend.
Brown hair, 34b, 107-127lbs, named Nikki.

^^Nice work man but 50% relevance ain’t strong.
What I learned form this article is that the average woman has 10 pounds on me, and thus can beat me up.
And that turns me on!
It really shouldn’t.
When I saw the average American woman was a 36C, my first thought was, “Because of obesity.” I’m glad science agrees.
I don’t even have any Kayden Kross porn, but I guess I’ll get some now. Because according to a cursory glance at that article, science tells me to.
I hate Burnsy’s posts.
You should try his other ones. They’re about the movies!
But what’s known about porn stars beyond their breast size? Remarkably little…
Has no intrepid blogger stooped to pick up Luke Ford’s mantle? UPROXX must not want the traffic.
The Faye Reagan tag reveals that Vince made that same joke, I mean Faye Reagan tag, I wanted the Faye Dunaway tag I mean… fuck it.

Uh huh. Analyzing.
