A sex expert has revealed the ‘mysterious’ reason why there is a shortage of male adult film stars in 2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There certainly remains a taboo about earning a living and making a career for yourself in the adult entertainment industry – whether that’s porn or OnlyFans<\/a> – particularly with men, it seems.<\/p>\n

According to statistics provided by Zipdo, a whopping 80 percent of adult film performers are women, leading to a clear shortage of men working in porn.<\/p>\n

In a column for the Metro, sex<\/a> expert Melissa Todd explained why this may be the case, and the impact it is having on the adult film sector as a whole.<\/p>\n

Todd explained how it is common for porn producers to advertise for new roles on social media<\/a> platforms like X, and while men do apply, they often do not show up.<\/p>\n

“Maybe men feel their identity and self-esteem is more closely tied to their sexual performance than women,” the sex expert wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She added: “Maybe porn being blamed for every societal ill is also a factor. We know young people are becoming increasingly puritanical and having less sex than previous generations.<\/p>\n

“There is simply a drought among young men wanting to enter this industry. But, I guess it\u2019s a particular skill to climax to order before a roomful of strangers.”<\/p>\n

The process of having an audition can also be an unpleasant one, Todd went on to explain. “Surrounded by actors, camera crew, producer, wardrobe, make up artist, and a (usually female) director barking, \u2018Now get an erection!\u2019 he\u2019ll often find himself incapable and humiliated.”<\/p>\n

This leads to many more women becoming adult film stars because they have it ‘way easier’, according to the sex expert.<\/p>\n

“Girls have it way easier,” she claimed. “We can so easily fake every stage of arousal. A good squirt of lube, a healthy dose of panting, sighing, noisy screaming. But you probably don\u2019t need me to tell you that.”<\/p>\n

To be honest, seeing less people apply to be an adult film star should hardly come as a surprise, considering we are having less sex than ever.<\/p>\n

In 2017, a study<\/a> in the Archives of Sexual Behavior found that the average adult has sex around once per week.<\/p>\n

These results were down by around nine times per year when compared to another study conducted in the 1990s.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a study published last year titled ‘The State of Dating: How Gen Z is Redefining Sexuality and Relationships’, in conjunction with the dating app Feeld, found that Gen Zers are having less sex and fewer relationships than generations that came before.<\/p>\n

“Also, nearly half of Gen Z reported that they were single, compared to only one-\ufb01fth of Millennials, Gen X, and Boomers,” said Lead researcher Dr Justin Lehmiller.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
