The Federal News Agency does not promote pornography, the cult of violence and cruelty, as well as sexual perversions. This material is intended for people older than 18 years and is published for informational purposes only.
Telegram channel "Sex, cartels, Frida Kahlo ”talks about the peculiarities of the Brazilian adult film industry, analyzes the products of the largest companies and highlights some of the subtleties of the Brazilian sexual mentality.
Brazil is currently ranked 16th in the global porn industry and first in Latin America. Brazil achieved leadership in the latter category in the mid-1980s, - just, when the military dictatorship, who ruled the country almost 20 years with the support of the United States, sunk into oblivion.
Harsh laws, regulating the Brazilian film industry in the 1970s, prohibited the demonstration of any materials, who "violate the norms of morality and decency", or contain any obscene images. In fact, the military junta did not see a potential danger for itself in adult films., and in independent auteur or political cinema. Production of so-called "light films", in front of, was strongly encouraged and considered as one of the forms of strengthening the state economy.
The author of the article emphasizes: the pornography industry is currently being condemned by both the Brazilian, and from the international community and activists, fighting for human rights. Activists around the world actively criticize the porn industry because of the system of harsh exploitation of actresses and actors (whose position is often no different from that of people, involved in prostitution), objectification of the female body and systematic violation of elementary labor laws, which poses a real risk to the health and life of the actors. The nature of the article and the description of sexual practices and genres of this type of film production are of a purely informational nature..
Military dictatorship in Brazil favored filmmakers, creating comedies with highlighting sexual themes and demonstration of nudity - the so-called pornochanchadas.
The center of mass production of Brazilian "sex comedies" was the central quarter of the city of São Paulo, soon received the unofficial name Boca do Lixo (which can be translated into Russian as "dirty mouth"). by the way, it is the pornoshanshads who subsequently transform into the famous Brazilian soap operas.
Not worth it, however, think, that the junta officials turned a blind eye to pornoshads and did not severely censor. in front of, everything was regulated - gestures, kissing frequency, sequence of events, coloristics.
AT 1985 year, the new Brazilian Constitution proclaimed freedom of intellectual, artistic, scientific and communication activities, and also the inadmissibility of any censorship. It turned out, freedom of expression also resulted in the ability to shoot hard porn, which swallowed up the porno genre in no time. The ubiquitous appearance of VCRs finally drowned erotic comedy.
At the same time, the American porn industry was undergoing a revolution.. Many American directors, shackled by a dozen American laws, which introduced strict rules for filming sex scenes in nature, and licenses, necessary to advertise porn films in public places, softened, that the ticket to Rio de Janeiro is much cheaper, than legal red tape in the USA.
In this way, the lack of legal regulation and any government control over the Brazilian porn industry has led to, that soon the film crews of such film companies as Evil Angel and Red Light District began to fly regularly to shoot in Brazil. In addition to the tropical nature and lush ladies looking great in the frame, Americans were pleased with the abundance of bisexuals and transgender people, willing to pay less.
by the way, regarding salaries, allowances and other financial joys: of course, sex workers from the United States did not even think about telling their Brazilian employees about, that their American colleagues are actively demanding copayments for participating in orgies or having anal sex.
John Stagliano, founder of the Evil Angel porn empire, first started filming video in Brazil in 1990s, making Sao Paulo the Brazilian valley of Sao Fernando (San Fernando Valley, California state - location, where a significant part of the American porn industry is located).
Currently the largest Brazilian film company, producing porn films, is Brasileirinhas. Brasileirinhas products are made almost according to American patterns, and the patterns of the 2000s.
The style of this period assumes retouched female figures with large breasts and massive buttocks.. All the actresses are smiling, showing perfectly bleached teeth. Content itself, except for videos with the theme of the Brazilian carnival, does not differ in originality: This is classic heterosexual sex, idealized lesbian sex, amateur (amateur, usually, novice actors are filmed in these videos), BBW (Big Beautiful Women - very large girls) And so on.
The situation with the plots of these videos is similar - all the same variations of anecdotal situations with female students, nannies, schoolgirls, pumped up teachers and secretaries with all the signs of nymphomania.
Unlike the mastodon Brasileirinhas, smaller studios Safada.TV and Xplastic offer users more choice and are a platform for self-expression and advertising of "alternative" pornstars - with piercings, tattoos, afro pigtails, dreadlocks or girls with physique, far from the standards of model appearance.
The latter category is gaining more and more popularity in Brazil., as well as "body positive" actresses with scars, freckles, mimic wrinkles and birthmarks. However, in this case, the concept of "body positive", which embarrasses the Eastern European viewer, rather reflects the models from the Dove ad, than the Eurovision winner from Israel.
Besides, studio, in the spirit of metamodernism, Mix Classic Sex With Solo And Soft, beautifully filmed "kink" (using non-traditional sexual practices).
Besides, Safada.TV and Xplastic have opened an opportunity for actresses to earn extra money through webcams, creating personal pages for each on their official sites. Actresses gained autonomy to showcase their sexuality - regardless of the writers' tastes, directors and producers.
Not only classic content can be found on these sites, but also videos with cosplay, eg, Princess Leia from Star Wars or Khaleesi from Game of Thrones. Some glitter from head to toe. Some actresses work more with sex toys, than with partners, others masturbate, using voodoo dolls or giant teddy bears.
Porn actresses in Brazil start their "career" from the most trivial step - send a resume to the email of the film company they like. At the same time, it is necessary to meet the criteria declared by the company.
So, the main requirements of Brasileirinhas for candidates are as follows: age from 18 years (the average age of girls in the industry is most often from 20 to 30 years), love of sex, tendency to exhibitionism, lust for fame.
All, who meets the specified criteria, go to the second stage and get a personal conversation with the personnel department. The specialist should inquire about the state of health, marital status, attitude of those close to choosing such a profession, financial situation (usually, casting will not pass those, who will declare big material problems and willingness to sacrifice themselves to the porn industry), as well as the presence of children.
Children in themselves are not an obstacle to working in the porn business, however, all future employees are encouraged to think about, are they ready for that, that someday their child can see films with their participation.
It should be noted, that despite the prevailing stereotypes and aggressive sexual advertising, Brazil is still a fairly conservative Catholic country. Filming pornography or prostitution is legal, but only very liberal parents will react positively, that their daughter has sex for money.
Men are selected in the industry in much the same way, and there are many more men's resumes, than female. However, many candidates fail their "trial exit", because they cannot, because of the excitement,, what is required of them.
There is a certain pool of male actors in the industry, and it is much more difficult for beginners to break into this area, than their female counterparts. Age of men, employed in porn, - from 30 to 42 years. The most famous now are Alex Ferras, Tony Tigrao and Ed Junior.
One of the genres of pornography, most popular with Brazilian consumers, is a demonstration of anal sex. Actresses, even those with exceptional external data, but giving up this sexual practice, can easily lose their jobs in the industry.
The popularity of the genre leaves a certain mark on the requirements for the appearance of actors and actresses.. So, Practically every tenth Brazilian porn actor resorted to anus whitening procedure. Some women, especially those with African or Native American roots, also whiten the nipples, - some producers think, that the contrast between light breasts and overly dark nipple areas can cause "internal rejection" in the consumer.
Independent porn companies, offering an alternative take on adult films, condemn this practice - independent porn producers promote naturalness in this regard.
Besides, two very different categories of actresses are very popular: doll girls, looking at very controversial 18 years, as well as sensual middle-aged women, commonly referred to as MILF.
In terms of fees, the Brazilian industry is pricing-oriented, adopted in the USA, who are the leaders of the porn market in the Western Hemisphere. Fees for actors and all persons, involved in filming (except the director), - screenwriter, operator, editor, sound specialist and others, - averages 3000 Brazilian reais per film (562 dollar). The most popular actors can raise their price tag up to 4000 reals, however, it is very rare to jump higher.
Men in this industry earn less than women, - this is typical not only for the USA and Brazil, but also for all other countries, where the shooting of porn films is legalized. A man's fee for a film is only about 500 reals.
Shooting one film takes, average, from one to five days.
Supplements and bonus payments to actors, which are provided in the United States for participating in plots with anal sex, double penetration, lesbian sex, threesome sex and orgies, in the contracts of Brazilian film studios.
In this way, for the brazilian porn industry, the story of Sasha Gray, who started her career in 18 years, made a fortune and left the industry for 25, looks like a real miracle.
However, don't think, that the work of a porn actor is safer and more paid, than prostitution. Many actors, by the way, got into the profession, starting to practice in brothels - and kept such "side jobs". Someone does it in secret, others - openly sell such meetings to fans and sponsors. Party stories are still popular in Sao Paulo, arranged by one of the porn actresses in honor of her birthday.
In the best traditions of Chuck Palahniuk's stories, the girl announced, that today I am ready to sleep for free with all comers from among the guests. By the morning I had to call an ambulance to the party - on the fiftieth "suffering" the girl started internal bleeding.
During filming, the issue of health is also very acute - especially with regard to "hardcore" scenes and a variety of kink variations. Yes, naturalistically filmed rape with elements of beating will not find wide acceptance among viewers, however, a certain amount of such a product is still produced - as for a separate group of consumers, and within the framework of artisanal marketing research.
Actors in this case either have to agree and work off the fee, either look for yourself in another industry. Leaving the company won't save the day too much, because no one wants to sign a contract with "whims", refused anal sex using unpeeled bananas, bottles or pocket knives.
Large film studios, usually, do not stoop to such frank bullying, however, the scripts for a number of hardcore scenes involve the beating of the actor - more often, true, not an actor, and the actresses.
After completing a career among Brazilian porn actresses, it is almost always customary to share revelations about the profession., and most of them cite beating during "work" sex as one of the worst aspects of their work.
So, one of the workers in the porn industry told the press about the case, when an actor was invited to participate in one of the films, known for his psychological instability and aggressiveness towards the opposite sex. The director invited him to "lightly" hit his partner in the face, grab the hair and put on all fours, demonstrating "lust" and "male dominance".
The actor started hitting the girl in the face, without even removing several large rings from your fingers, and got so carried away, that the resulting porn video was refused to be shown even for paid viewing by individual subscription, - considered too aggressive a demonstration of violence and removed it "on the shelf" to avoid possible lawsuits.
Lawsuits, by itself, not supposed to come from a beaten actress, but from consumers of pornography, whose tender feelings could be hurt by the demonstration of such atrocities.
A separate problem, Faced by Porn Actors - Like Men, so do women, - alcohol abuse and drug addiction. At the same time, actors start using stimulants not at all because of the desire to get an additional high., but to hide fatigue and keep a playful mood, and look good in the frame.
In order not to lose their jobs in the industry Brazilian men, like the americans, forced to take Viagra or other drugs, providing long lasting erection (to 5-6 hours). In the future, this affects both reproductive health, and on the cardiovascular system.
However, even with such "medicinal feats" the overall health risk of male actors is lower., than for actresses. Maximum, what film companies are ready to provide to their stars (as well as prostitutes) - free condoms (the presence of which, however, does not provide for every scenario).
Multiple internal injuries and ruptures, not uncommon even for soft porn, do not involve any compensation and do not constitute a legal injury, received in production. Only a few actresses managed to win lawsuits in the case of, if the filming of the video did not stop even if they reported problems.
for example, one of the actresses suffered ovarian cyst apoplexy while filming gang bang (kind of group sex, in which more than three people take part). Despite the bleeding and then, that the actress was twisted in pain and she asked for help, it never occurred to anyone to suspend filming.
The lawsuit was won - the judges qualified the incident as "being left in danger".
It's fair to say, that when filming such a rather rare genre, как ballbusting, the essence of which is, that a woman hits her partner's genitals (often to blood), the health of male actors is at significant risk.
Besides, unlike the American sex industry, Brazilian film studios were quite negligent for some time about the possibility of contracting sexually transmitted diseases or HIV on the set. HIV prevention and testing, (although Brazil was the first country in the world, offering free universal HIV and AIDS diagnosis and treatment), to participate in the filming, it was required only once - before going to work in a particular company.
Such an orgy lasted until 2004 of the year, when one of the American porn actors "trained" in Brazil, Darren James, contracted HIV while filming. At that time, the United States already had a fairly stringent HIV testing system., but, before James tested positive, he managed to take part in the filming in Los Angeles and infect three partners. After that, a thirty-day moratorium was extended to all pornography in the United States.. Brazilian companies took note of the incident and test protocols became stricter. However, HIV cases among Brazilian porn actors are still not out of the ordinary..
