These days, documentaries are all the rage. Netflix alone has hundreds of them on their platform but honestly, only a handful are actually interesting. But, hey, if you’re willing to spend your time watching a documentary about a guy who eats fast food for a month, why not turn your interests toward something we all know and love – good old pornography! Here are just a handful of some great docs to watch if you’re in the mood for a little Netflix n’ Chill.
1. Hot Girls Wanted
The stories about how women get involved in the industry aren’t always tales of “rainbows and butterflies,” so to speak. Hot Girls Wanted highlights some of the more negative reasons young women get into porn, like how many are promised $1,000 paychecks weekly only to eventually get tossed aside for a fresher face. It’s important that we see (and understand) why this happens and the film is a good representation of that.
My only complaint is that the success stories are glossed over. For example, the story of self-described sex-positive feminist and university student Belle Knox is barely touched upon. There’s also a story with a young woman from Miami who created a “porn” character for herself and actually enjoys the work she does.
Ironically, despite focusing mostly on the negative, it’s believed that Hot Girls Wanted might’ve actually enticed some women to try and make it in the industry. Either way, it’s a fascinating watch. There’s also a sequel to the doc that was filmed as a series of individual episodes called Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On.
2. The After Porn Ends Trilogy
The entire After Porn Ends trilogy is easily one of the most fascinating documentary series you’ll ever watch. Personally, I’ve had moments when I wondered, “Hey, whatever happened to (insert porn star name here)?” That’s part of why our team wrote a Where Are They Now? blog a little while back.
The first part of the series examines the story of Asia Carrera, one of my favorite pornstars of all time. I was surprised to learn that her story was quite tragic having been essentially disowned by her family for doing porn and losing her husband to a car accident only a year after they got married.
Other stories are less tragic, like Venus Lux. She stopped performing, but created her own adult enterprise with Venus Lux Entertainment and is responsible for the creation of some top websites like TS Fetishes. She’s also written a book called Venus Lux Diaries. Overall, it’s fascinating to see how lives change – some for the better, some for worse – after they decide to stop starring in pornographic films.
3. Mostly Sunny
If you want a feel-good uplifting story then you have to check out Mostly Sunny. You’ve probably heard the name Sunny Leone, one of the most famous Indian pornstars on the planet. Sunny’s story is very long, filled with many ups and downs about how she got into porn, became a contract star for Vivid Entertainment, started her own company and finally, became one of Bollywood’s biggest movie stars. And in India, becoming a famous movie star after doing porn is not only unheard of it’s straight up never happened! So this is honestly one of the craziest stories you’ll ever hear and I highly recommend checking it out.
Watch More Interesting Porn Docs
I’ve barely scratched the surface of porn documentaries as there are literally dozens of them I could list. But if you get started with these, you’ll definitely get a good look at the fascinating world of the porn industry! Most of the docs are available to stream on platforms like Netflix and Crave TV. Others can be rented from various on-demand services.
