I didn’t think this statement was controversial. Finding web articles using sexual search terms is near possible so since I can’t back up my assertion I will retract it, but I don’t see why you think it is not done. A very hot guy going to crowded mall, chatting up a cute girl who thinks he’s hot as well, yes asking her to appear in a porn may get him slapped 9 times out of 10, but surely you offer a girl in a mall 1000 dollars to screw a hot guy, you will eventually find a taker? Surely some need money and would agree, right?

This is the seed of the fantasy they’re trying to create. The more people believe this is possible, the greater appeal in that sort of porn. I think your perceptions have been clouded by their very active attempts to perpetuate that illusion. I sympathize with the challenge of finding any concrete information on the subject, and would suggest that this difficulty benefits the producers of porn. It’s good for them when it’s difficult for the rest of us to separate fantasy from reality even when we’re actively trying to do so.
I think porn stars and strippers are a lot like magicians, in that they understand very well that their marketability depends entirely creating illusions and fantasies, and they refrain from publicly undermining those illusions. This is why I don’t think you can believe interviews with pornstars in which they bubble about how their work is all pleasure and they orgasm on screen all the time. I think most of them are just working actors who are fairly good at what they do, and find the work neither terribly pleasant nor unpleasant. If a large majority of porn stars came out and said the work was usually exploitive, disgusting, uncomfortable, and/or painful, I personally wouldn’t be able to enjoy it anymore.
You’ve succumbed so thoroughly to the illusion that you aren’t seeing the difference. First and foremost, there’s the difference that someone is creating a potentially embarrassing image of themselves on a film that they will never control. That alone is enough to spook most non-professionals. There are probably random mall chicks who would go for the idea “in theory”, thinking the photo shoot is going to work something like a fashion shoot, they’ll get cute outfits, and they’ll only be asked to do fairly softcore vanilla sex. But they’ll run screaming for the hills when they’re given a tube of anal lube and some fat bald guy with a camera wants to set up camp 3 inches from the crotch.
It was once said… I forget who… that when your new girlfriend asks you “What’s your greatest sexual fantasy”, she’s not asking if you’re interested in her hot friend. She’s going shopping for clothes and is looking for your input on boots.
Also I think you’re looking at this from the male point of view… probably most men would go along with reality porn schemes without being asked twice. I forget where I read this, but male pornstars will usually do a scene for 1/8th the money it takes to get a woman to do it, just because more men are predisposed to random sex. So as a man, you should be aware of that internal bias when you’re judging what you think a random woman would do.
