  • Uproxx asked a cross-section of adult performers about the worst reaction they’ve ever gotten from people finding out they did porn. The responses this time out really ran the gamut, from “No one’s every been an assh*le about it” (April O’Neil) and “I’ve never gotten any bad reactions” (Jade Nile), to “A guy threw a rack of napkins on my and called me a whore” (Violet Monroe) and the succinct but effective “I was disowned.” (Rain DeGray).

Their participants instead talk about weighty issues like masculinity and the hyper-sexualized portrayal of women in media.

  • The evolutionary significance of penis size has been a topic for abundant speculation, often packaged with the myth that the human phallus is far bigger than in other primates.
