There are ordinary porn stars and there are PhD earned porn stars. Some of them have a higher IQ than probably you do. It is a common belief that adult film actresses are usually not that bright because of their working choice and lifestyle. It is assumed that they can’t do better than porn movies, but many of them proved the public wrong, having successful businesses and being highly educated than most of the average American is. To all of these actresses, being called a nerd or a geek is not bad because these ten actresses feel like they are not taken seriously in other industries. By all means, it is rather difficult to try to stay impartial when a porn star like Sasha Grey is making a film in which critics have to be unprejudiced to her all-so-known skills she been shown until then in front of the camera. Smarter than the average Adult film actresses like Asia Carrera have a reputation for being the geekiest of porn stars, making the first website, or blog (but back then the word wasn’t even a thing). These porn stars managed to show the world that the stigma of an adult film actress that doesn’t know better than to just have sex, is overrated and some of them are even smarter than the average Joe. Of course, there are porn stars like Ron Jeremy, who holds the world record for his numerous appearances in adult movies, who was a teacher before getting into porn. He owns a Bachelor’s degree in Education and one piece of Master’s degree in Special Education. This only proves to show that you can do all the thing that bring joy to you or the things that you are passionate about. Pornography is a well-built industry and that doesn’t stop you from having a higher education. They sure proved that you don’t have to be dumb or not good at anything else to get into porn. You obviously need the stomach for it and the right reasons to join like Asa Akira has. With no alcohol and drug abuse to get you by the day, to these actors, pornography is a passion and a business from which they made the best out of. Sex sells! Some of them have graduated earlier from high schools, some of them own two Master’s degree and some have PhDs. Either way, these are a few of the adult film actress that made a career out of their hobby and to that we say: Bravo! It’s one thing to just perform in porn and a better thing to be a part of the porn industry. Porn actresses like Annie Sprinkle and Jenna Jameson are, what others would call, role models, participating in Oxford debates, making out of their names a successful brand and educating others regarding sexuality. Porn is an industry, and you might as well make the best out of it because as we know: Sex sells! It’s a matter of perspective on whether you make a living out of it or just have fun for a couple of years. 10th: Annie Sprinkle Annie Sprinkle is an artist, sexologist, former prostitute, author and lecturer.
