Porn Industry Shutdown
What happens when the porn business shuts down? I found out in my latest post for Forbes: "What Porn Stars Do When the Porn Industry Shuts Down."
"'The moratoriums are always very difficult for a majority of the performers in the adult industry,' says Chanel Preston, a four-year veteran who’s slated to co-host the 2014 AVN Awards — otherwise known as the 'Oscars of porn' — next month in Las Vegas.
For stars with exclusive contracts that guarantee regular paychecks from big production companies, the money is steady. For the rest, not so much.
'Despite the amount of money that performers make, most still live paycheck-to-paycheck, so having your income cut off for a few weeks is a huge damper financially,' Preston says."
