In the late months of 2008, while the economic storm was gathering, Steven Soderbergh made a film about buying and selling. "The Girlfriend Experience" follows a high-priced escort named Chelsea as she interacts with clients, many of them regulars, all of them wealthy. It stars Sasha Grey, 21, who in real life has made more than 150 porn films. This is her second film role that doesn't involve explicit hard-core sex.
If she started at 18 and she's now 21, that's three years. There are 52 weeks in a year. So, that's 156 weeks. According to wikipedia, her birthday is March 14th, so let's tack on 8 more weeks and we arrive at 164. I'm gonna assume there are certain weeks during the month when female pornstars can't work. So, let's subtract one quarter of the weeks. That's 123 weeks to make 150 hardcore films. Am I the only one who finds that astonishing?

Subtracting a quarter of the weeks is probably high---Seasonale (birth control pill *designed* to only break for a period every 3 months) has been on the market for several years, and women do the same with regular bc pills plenty. The pill also makes the cycle shorter (say, half-week at most)---and more predictable, important in scheduling such jobs. So, 4 half-weeks/year x 3 years = subtract 6 weeks--> 158 weeks for 150 films.
No clue whether the industry really verifies the actresses are 18, nor how many hours it takes to shoot 2 hrs of finished film.
You're confusing two things -- how many days she spent filming, and how many films she's been in.
Many -- most? -- younger porn girls film several scenes in a single day. Those scenes can wind up in as many different movies.
(In another life, I knew a retired porn star who was always surprised to find herself appearing in a "new" movie.)

Thank you. I hadnt realized that, but it still seems like a lot of, um, work to do in 158 weeks.
Anonymous pornstar friend:
I guess the one scene = multiple films thing makes the most sense. It's probably very profitable to do some editing of old footage and release Amazing Asian BJs 42.
