Jon Millward explored porn star demographics using a data scrape from the Internet Adult Film Database: hair color, race, and birthplace, among other things. (There aren’t any dirty pictures, but there’s some terminology that might be NSFW.)
The average measurements?
I thought that maybe if the women are overestimating how light they are, they might also be a bit too generous when reporting their measurements. It turns out they probably aren’t though, because the most common bra size for a female porn star is a surprisingly handleable 34B. Not double-D, not even a D. Double-D actually came in 4th, behind B, C and D. The most common set of measurements for the women was 34–24-34.
So, if the average female porn star is a 5’5″ woman who weighs 117lbs and has B-cup breasts, what colour is her hair? Blonde, presumably, if my friends’ guesses were anything to go by.
Apparently not. Dark-haired porn stars outnumber blonde ones almost 2-to-1.
Millward doesn’t look at changes over time a whole lot, but if the BMI of Playboy playmates is any indicator, I bet those measurements have changed over the years.
Jon’s website is down from the traffic, but on twitter he says he is moving it to another host at the moment.
Seems very interesting but Jon’s website is down at the moment.
Probably reflects non-porn demographics. Interested in a p-value re blonde/porn
