How would this look like for Literotica?

[BobbyBrandt]

John Millward took the profile data for 10,000 porn performers from the International Adult film Database and compiled findings for such things as "What is the most common hair color", or "What is the most common breast size". Other common features were also tracked, such as height, weight, and acts that the performers will do on film. He even developed a composite image of the average female porn star.

I started thinking about the characters that I typically develop, and while I seldom focus a great deal on their physical attributes, I could probably also develop a composite image in my head of what their collective features would look like.

Then I started thinking about all the various characters in the stories here. Since they don't have profiles beyond how their creator depicts them, it would be impossible to do the type of deep analysis that Millward did. But from your own experience, try to describe the average female main character in all the stories you have written. A composite.

Umm... Dark brown hair, brown hazel eyes, a scattering of freckles, dark tan skin, chubby/curvy and feathers and scales with long talon like nails. Not everyone is human...

 

[Djmac1031]

Ive written female characters of all ages, shapes, sizes and colors.

Probably the only thing most of them have in common is they're written as more than just sex objects who's only purpose is to please the MMC.

 

[lovecraft68]

I use my imagination or just look around at men and women in real life.

I don't need some nerds porno stat sheet.

 

[dirk2024]

Hmmm...my favorite FMC, who shares characteristics with some of my other FMC's, is 5'6", curvy/thick, long, straight brunette hair, large brown eyes, joyful smile, possibly of Italian or Latino descent.

The rest of my female characters vary in size, shape and coloration.

 

[AwkwardlySet]

Hah, Hungary is easily the first when it comes to the number of pornstars compared to the size of the country. I've always known they are huge perverts.

 

[Rob_Royale]

My composite woman would be in her early forties. Five foot four, sandy blonde with blue eyes. Hourglass figure, generous in both bust and hips. Successful and outgoing.

Composite male would be twenty-two, 5'9" fit and athletic, stocky with a swarthy complexion and dark hair and eyes. Admittedly, myself as a younger man.

 

[Erozetta]

I tend to favor writing short pale redheads with green eyes and an athletic build.

For guys it's typically a tall, thin, dark haired guy with olive toned skin and blue eyes.

On a more serious note


For all those out there who think doing porn is easy, and a way to avoid doing "real" work.

I think I am with @Djmac1031 with a wide variety of body types, just like you see out in the world.

I just mentioned Lizzie in another thread. She is six foot three, butch cut, not very curvy but muscled (series college b-ball player, power forward), largely covered in tattoos and a serious attitude. Also brilliant, but almost all of my women characters are.

My original FMC was 5'4" and very curvy with long golden brown hair. Whiny but a true artistic genius.

MaryA (I had three Marys and a Maria in the first series) is a short (just under five foot) bubbly australian, bursting with sexual energy.

Angie (from my novel that just came out) is a five foot three average build Mexican American with should length black hair. Oh, and a literary genius.

I had a short, blonde part character, brilliant. Named Emily. I can't imagine where I got that idea from

Not a clue

I second that!

International Adult film Database

*Internet Adult Film Database. If it were truly international then I’m sure the statistics would show something very different. The IAFD looks very US-centric.

 

[NuclearFairy]

Oh dear, we're doing men too? I don't think that would turn out well for me...

How do you combine tentacle monster, werewolf, catboy and human?

Very carefully.

 

[AlinaX]

Attractive big-breasted woman, bisexual, high heels & short skirt, a nice hard cock and something that might be a tail but could also be a tentacle. Likes coffee & chastity.

 

[Djmac1031]

Im sure if they put together an algorithm for male LE characters, the most common denominator would be they all have huge dicks.

My catboy at least is described as having a very skinny dick. But then, it's also covered in something extra.

The one time I bothered to use a description for one it was on the small side.

Sounds like one Hell of an orgy!

 

[Erozetta]

Im sure if they put together an algorithm for male LE characters, the most common denominator would be they all have huge dicks.

The guys in my stories are only huge if the girls have giant hands. My favorite unit of dick measurement is how it fits in her hand. And mouth, but mostly hand for measuring.

For all those out there who think doing porn is easy, and a way to avoid doing "real" work.

Bit weird to post that quote without mentioning that it's been debunked (in the article you got it from) as false. Immediately below the portion you screenshotted, the rebuttal:

That quote appears thousands of times on Google, used by people who believe porn is the devil’s work to get their message across: it’s horrible and hurts women. But is the statistic it mentions even true? Do the majority (over 50%) of women who try porn leave it after doing one film because it’s so completely soul-destroying?

Using my data set, I knew I could find out. The actual number of single film quitters is between 10% and 30%. It’s difficult to settle on an exact figure because it differs depending on how you sample the women, but one thing’s for sure: most women don’t quit after one film—in fact, the majority (at least 53%) do three or more. So, to update the quote with the facts, do most women do three films and then quit because the experience is so humiliating and painful? Perhaps. Or maybe they just don’t like it and stop.

(Or perhaps they did a couple of films to tide them over during a rough patch and then stopped once they got a better job. Or they did more films under a different name that wasn't linked to the original one, so one performer with 6 films is misinterpreted as being two performers with 3 films each. There are a lot of possible explanations.)

Tall athletic redhead with blazing green eyes. The rest is immaterial.

Mid-twenties, brunette with a hint of red, about 5% silicon, six-inch tail.

Mid-twenties, brunette with a hint of red, about 5% silicon, six-inch tail.

Is that tail in the front or the back? If it's in the front, I appreciate it being within one or two standard deviations from normal in size.
