Is / Was Sasha Grey as good as she was made out to be? I’m trying to reprogram my porn viewing thanks to being blind-sided by dieselman over at Young Legal Porn (Diesel Access). I say ‘blind-sided’ because I’ve never really been into Eastern European and Russian models. The only reason for that was a lack of ‘connection’ since I could never find much stuff related to one particular model. I tend to get a bit… ummm… focused on a model I like and want to collect more material and I always found that hard for Eastern European and Russian models so I didn’t bother trying. Then like2fireone recommends Young Legal Porn and my porn collection changes overnight. Jesus H. Tap-dancing Christ! Most of the models there are insanely stunning. Yes, I admit that you if you have thing for obese 50+ year old Latino women none of the Diesel sites will appeal to you, but if you like young, petite women then this site is a must see. (gratuitous advert – not shilling, this site is worth it) Anyway, I tried watching some American porn last night and it didn’t work for me. The excessive attempts at ‘glamour*’ and the hyper-sexualization of the models (yes, I know it is porn) seem over the top. But… when watching a Sasha Grey scene, the title question came to mind. I’m a big Sasha Grey fan. Probably most of us are. She was the industry’s ‘it girl’ for quite a while and I understand why. She had something. The story of how she got her start, her willingness to do anything, her youth, and the fact that she is beautiful all contributed to her success. And I don’t begrudge her her success. But was it marketing or substance? I have my thoughts, and if this thread generates any comments I’ll weigh in too, but I won’t skew any potential comments by leading the discussion any further than that. * Americans drop the u on a lot of British spellings. Favour and honour come to mind. I wonder why you guys kept the u in glamour. And I realize I’m setting you up for some really baaaaaaaad jokes. | |

I agree that Sasha was the Hit girl for a while and a huge part of that was her willingness to do almost anything on screen right from the start. Girls who choose to do porn will sometime wait a year or more before doing anal, IR, dp's and gangbangs. Sasha chose a very different path by doing all of these things. I can't say that I didn't enjoy her performances but for a girl shooting hot scenes. Sasha always seemed cold while doing them. I know this is porn and it's not real sex but many girls can fake it if they can't feel it but I always felt that her actions were all calculated. I'm having a hard time putting this into word but to me Sasha was more like a sexbot programmed with multple sexual technique. She did them all with excellence but there was no feeling in what she did. Sasha is possibly the luckiest woman to have done porn in the last decade. She came into the industry when studios were filming and releasing multiples titles each month and she was willing to work for all of thema nd do anything they wanted. She managed to parlay her porn career into a semi-mainstream career and got out of the biz before the bubble burst. The sad reality is that Sasha would not be who she is today if she had started doing porn a year ago. The current state of the porn industry is such that the bulk of the studios she worked for no longer exist. She probably would have filmed a few movies and shot for a few internet sites but she would never have reached 1/10th of the popularity she still holds. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

I think Sasha Grey has a great face and great body. I watched a few of her porn videos, but I was turned off by her act of cursing, spitting, and hitting her partners and seeming to enjoyed the rough stuff being done on her as well. So even though she is physically attractive, I didn't enjoyed her videos. She is apparently a smart girl who was able to capitalize on her porn career, and she used it to make a lot of money and go on to build a name for herself in porn and beyond. I know she did a main stream movie, where she was the actual star, not just a secondary character. The Girlfriend Experience. I haven't seen it yet. And she is also doing non-porn TV and non-porn movie acting. There are a lot of young people with looks that want to be stars. But she is already a starlet, and it doesn't look that her porn experience is holding her back. | |

I haven't seen The Girlfriend Experience yet either, though I did burn it from the Movie Network. Gotta watch it sometime... She seems to be one of the few women who made the transition to mainstream. Many have tried, but failed. I suspect for Sasha it is partly because of her in-your-face attitude. She obviously doesn't try to hide from her past. That's a good thing. I hope she does well. | |

She wasn't the first but she is probably the only one to have gotten as much mainstream recognition as Tracy Lords. I think both of them were exceedingly lucky and managed to get better mainstream gigs than most porn girls where the best they usualy get is the part of a naked girl in a low budget horror movie. Although it's true that she doesn't hide her porn past. I still find rthat her attitude is calculated just like her performances were in most of her films. Where is she now? You don't hear about her in the news and she's no longer on TV. She's shot a few more mainstream movies but nothing recently and almost nothing with big names. I will be thrilled if she manages to do the impossible but I'll have to see it before I belive it. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

She was never really on of my favorites, always seemed like she was elsewhere when being filled. I know its acting but I often felt she was not present in her filling regarding of the content. Since 2007 | |
