Another Death In Pornland

There is a widely repeated phrase that the average life expectancy of a porn star is just 37 years and i don’t know how true that is but we are only a third way through the year and there has been a spate of adult actresses deaths and unfortunately many of them never even made it to 37.
The latest victim is Kagney Linn Karter, 36, who retired from the business but her mental problems led to her shooting herself in the head and follows Thania Field (24) who also ended her own life, Sophie Anderson (36) in another suicide after the death of her porn star boyfriend Olver Speeding (34) and Sophia Leone (26) whose poignant final twitter post before her death told her followers to 'Go outside and just appreciate life a little extra' before being found unresponsive in her home.
This years grim list also includes Jesse Jane (43) who died from a drug overdose, August Ames (23) who was another victim of suicide and Dakota Skye (27), who died on set in her trailer from 'multi-drug intoxication'.
Another star of the industry, Emily Willis (25), is currently lying comatose in a hospital bed, fighting for her life after suffering an alleged overdose so you have to wonder, with the mental health and substance abuse issues and the grim list of early deaths associated with the career choice, why get into it in the first place?
In the couple of Louise Theroux documentaries we get the answer with a female actress earning anything from £300 to £2500 for a scene and males actors averaging $500 to £1500.
Ex-porn star Adriana Chechik said the plan for most girls in the industry is to build their name, amass a fortune and get out because 'nobody really wants to stay in sex work', unfortunately for many of the young girls above, getting out proved to be the part they found most disturbingly difficult.
