Some of the best acting in the world is seen in porn. Pornocracy

What got me on this subject I don't know but I came across a documentary film on Netflix regarding porn. No moralizing here, however what was interesting was how times have changed since the salad days of Linda Lovelace, Georgina Spelvin, Marilyn Chambers and a handful of others who helped bring gratuitous sex out of the 8 mm, raincoat suggested, porno theaters in the seedy part of town and into legit multi million dollar box offices.

The death of video tape was the final nail providing the kiss of death to most of the porn studios producing character driven (just threw up a little in my mouth), scripted films that invariable led to a carnage of flesh called XXX. Women with pontoon boobs and tons of hairspray "interacting" with a man...men or vice versa with unnatural penile measurements and abilities, suddenly found themselves flipping burgers or spinning around a pole in some small town bar. Very few completed their Masters Degrees at NYU with all the money they earned making skin movies. I am sure some are married or divorced with kids. No shame in having sex on film for money. There might be some uncomfortable questions asked by their 8th grade son. Seems like I'm officially rambling! Back to topic.

The documentary discussed the strange turn of events that now has most porn accessible to anyone who can type on a keyboard (virtual or otherwise) and view natures naked tango anywhere you have web access. The bit that is disconcerting is that all the sites (with different names and looks) are actually owned by...?
They are all owned by the same entity, however when the Headquarter offices of that entity are visited there is nothing there. No desks, nor people, nor chairs, etc. Nobody is home. The film clip sites are called "Hub" or "Tube" and though many in number all belong to the same invisible group...person...entity...Satan?

The implication in the film that trafficking of women and girls might be a part of this network of sex workers. Most appear to have been from the Slavic regions, but there were Americans, Brits and other young ladies involved. The company had digs in NYC and in Toronto ( I believe). The disturbing part of this whole thing is that no government can or hasn't done anything to get to the bottom of this multi billion dollar enterprise which skirts just this side of insanity. A reporter in Germany did a massive amount of research on the gentleman who was put up as the head of the organization. He appears to have only been a beard fronting for the real power. The film is perplexing in that it leaves us without the money shot.  The mystery it brings to light, is worthy of a Scandinavian Noir treatment in 8 episodes but the ending leaves us with many questions. Not so sure there will ever be a reveal regarding all the Hubs ownership.
I have included the link to the film's preview clip. (Caution: Includes some mild adult language.) https://youtu.be/fFU4GCqu2Aw

So be aware. The porn you might be watching could very well be watching you. After you see Pornocracy you will realize how obscure, invisible and protected the organization is that keeps pumping out the video clips and living streaming. About the acting? Well...let's just say 90% of the product posted is targeted male fantasy. You will also feel for those women in that industry who are trapped by life's circumstances. It just isn't sexy anymore.

Don't get me wrong...I'm not judging. I don't believe porn will cause the end of modern civilization. Ever since the birth of film there have been sexually explicit photos and movies. It's the invisible hand(s) that control it and the power that comes with amassed mega wealth that is frightening.
