They didn't say anything about acting? They said men have to "sustain" - ie hold an erection without ejaculating.


Right. Acting. It isn't more difficult for men because their part is, uh, hydraulically obvious. More to the point, it isn't less hard work for women. I get why guys assume it would be, though. Good grief, I bet you probably think you've never seen anyone fake an orgasm outside a porno, too...


gender roles, and dare I say even sex roles, are actually noticeably different in sex.


Did I say that they were not?


the entire premise of your objection is "what about women in porn?"

OC listed three jobs total, the premise being that jobs in which a tryout is a useful evaluation tool are rare.

There is no a priori reason to believe that the very different jobs that men and women have as porn actors should both fall into this rare category.

Unless, of course, you're reflexively looking to take offense at the idea that men and women are not interchangeable.


Someone has reflexively taken offense at something here. It's clear who and I think I see what, but I have to confess myself still mystified as to why.

All I've said is that women also act and that's also hard work. I didn't say it is the same job, only that it is no easier. Why does that bother you so?


Because no one was talking about the difficulty of the task except for you, and you chose to get indignant.

Young men are adorable, but really I feel for you. What you really desperately need is a role model, the same way I did at your age. None is to be found here.
