A friend forwarded me a porn clip over the weekend because he thought he might have known the guy in it. I’m more interested in the woman. Is there a photographic database or something of that nature on line? ---

That’d be the Internet Adult Film Database, which would be found at [iafd.com](http://iafd.com) (link broken due to nudity in banner ads, NSFW). Considering how many thousands of women work in the industry, I hope you have some way to narrow it down. ---

The “Who’s That?” forum at [Cheggit.net](http://Cheggit.net) is very effective. If the video features a girl from Europe, [eurobabeindex.com](http://eurobabeindex.com) has a massive photographic index (over 50 girls with names beginning with the letter Z). ---

If the above sites don’t help, the porn site I frequent, tiava dot com (or maybe it’s dot net - I guess I don’t frequent it enough 😛 ) has a section dedicated to IDing girls. ---

[QUOTE=mr. jp] Why don’t you link us a still shot? [/QUOTE] I’ve claimed to have a near perfect pornographic memory, albeit limited to Barely Legal. Toss up a still shot and see if we can figure it out. ---

I’m trying to find a listing of all the websites a certain girl has been on, which is likely an impossible task. Would any of those help? She’s also done movies. ---

The performer in question can be seen at this NSFW site: [Moms Passions - // - sexiest mature women and their wildest desires uncovered on video](http://free.momspassions.com/movies2/001-2-03625/index.htm?nats=MTExNzo3OjEz,0,0,0), ---

Hey, do you guys know that chick from the Wifey’s World website? Isn’t she awesome. If you aren’t familiar, go to that tiava site I mentioned above (I still can’t remember if it’s dot com or dot net…dot com I think), go to ask tiava, and search for wifey’s world. ---

My encyclopedic knowledge of porno has let me down. Sorry, never seen her (I don’t follow the big titted). ---

No idea. But I’m sure the fine pervs at Cheggit will know. She has a kind of early Vanessa del Rio thing going on. And Wifey is an old favorite. ---

I’m not sure about straightworld porn, but I know that gay porn actors often perform under several different names (especially if they work for more than one studio), so you may want to cross reference if the name’s not familiar. ---

I’m subscribing to this thread because, even if I can’t actually fight the ignorance here, I’ll carry water to those who can. 😃 Some of the questions we see on the Board are fascinating just because they are asked. ---
