After Porn Ends is an American documentary that was released in 2012.

background

East Carolina University graduate documentary filmmaker Bryce Wagoner interviewed various ex-porn stars about what their lives were like after leaving the industry. Wagoner received the inspiration for the documentary from a part-time job as part of her film training: During a break in recording voice-over and motion capture for the video game WWE - “Smackdown vs. Raw "was watching a group of porn movies and one member of the group asked what the actors did to their lives after their time in the scene. In a separate blog post, she explained that the scene was about sexual acts involving vegetables.

The questions in the interviews, which are quickly cut together, revolve around four questions:

  • How do you get into this film business?
  • Why do you stop and, if necessary, start again?
  • How can a secure existence or family be built and how can private life and work be separated from one another?
  • How do porn actors differ from other workers?

Thereby reported u. a. Asia Carrera that Mensa International would link to all websites of its members, but made an exception for her, since it was a pornographic website.

reception

The film received mostly negative reviews.

“Beyond being twenty minutes too long, 'After Porn Ends' is an utterly grim and depressing documentary. What begins as a look behind the fantasy of pornography instantly turns in to a ninety minute excuse to look down at all forms of pornographic stars, even those wise enough to leave it all behind and look for something more. A patronizing and utterly depressing look at the pornographic industry, 'After Porn Ends' sets itself up as a look at the fantasy bringers who ended up being humans when the camera stops rolling, and then transforms in to a ninety minute excuse to look down at folks who once made millions out of having sex on film, especially those smart enough to retire and look for other greener pastures.

"Ultimately, it's a poorly made, sloppily researched and rather disinteresting documentary and, depressingly, far from the only one of its kind out there."
