Secrets of the porn industry have been revealed in a hilariously graphic thread posted on Reddit.
Actors and producers have lifted the lid on things you would never know - or perhaps wish to know - in the mysterious world of blue movies.
The intimate insights came as answers to a question posed by Reddit user Whiskas2 who asked: 'Porn Actors of Reddit, what is something The viewers REALLY don't know?'
What followed was a deluge of responses from curious enthusiasts and numerous industry insiders.
Whilst most of the content is too lude to reprint , among the revelations was the tendency for male gay porn actors to actually be straight.
Unsurprisingly it appears that women largely fake orgasms during the movies but a lesser known fact is that men often do too.
Calvin Dehaze, a former porn producer, provided a wealth of behind-the-scenes information.
He wrote: "The women are faking it most of the time. We would try to cast couples or friends who are already intimate with each other."
Dehaze also revealed there is a huge gender pay gap within the industry - but women earn far more than their male counterparts.
One commenter wrote: "Women make WAY more then men, but their acts are itemised. Back in 2003, a girl could make $2,500 (£1,600) a scene depending on what she did. Men only made around $500 (£320)."
According to Dehaze, actors regularly improvise on set and films are rarely scripted.
A frequent theme was the length of time it takes to shoot a modern porn movie.
Industry professional revealed short films alone can take hours and there are plenty of stop-starts, despite a smooth finished product.
Pantyraid7036, another producer wrote: "There is a lot of pausing, a lot of laughing, a lot of texting, etc in between shots.
PeterPinkPuss added: "There are a lot more 'breaks' to rest, recuperate than you would guess."
Actress Ela Darling was keen to debunk the myth that working in the sex industry meant porn stars were riddled with STDs.
She wrote: "We undergo a rigorous testing protocol called the PASS system in which we are tested every two weeks with the best STD tests on the market.
"Porn stars have a lower incidence of HIV than the general population."
She also revealed that actors do not receive royalties and are only paid once for a film.
In one post, porn star Calithrowaway3 gave her view on the type of people she would be working with on a daily basis.
She said: "In my experience, the girl that I'm shooting with is either a drug-addicted college dropout trying to bring home "Legit" money to mom and dad, a moderate adult actress with a little bit of exposure and does some drugs on the side, or very occasionally we get a pretty popular adult film star that explicitly tells us that we are not allowed to mention her drug use in any way, shape or form.
"You'd be surprised how many of them are vegan."
