Again, as I am with the wording of many of these poll questions, I'm feeling somewhat confused by the ambiguity of the question.
So many girls come into the business, some which we never actually see and they stay a very short time. PU favorites stick around somewhat longer, whereas the more determined and popular within the porn industry stay even longer.
If it were my fav's we're talking about I'd LIKE them to be around for 10 years or longer.
But if the question is asking what is the average time for all performers, I'd GUESS it would be 2 - 3 years.
But really, WTF knows?

Why about the same amount of time my canned goods remains on my shelves.
I figure that's what those shelves are for!

I'm interpreting the question to mean "on average," which I think is 2-3, but some last less time than that, and some have gone past the 10-year mark.

I'd say 2-3 years for their actual career, but longer lasting fanbase with the web and its trove of archived material. How many of us have "discovered" a performer only to learn she did a few scenes and has not been in anything in months or even years?
And of course we have the outliers like the amazing [ignore]Nina Hartley[/ignore] who's had the longevity of a male porn star--without the creepiness.

There are actually two different and yet accurate answers to this poll question. In the first place a performer's shelf life can be many decades long as proven by performers like Nina Hartley 30 years and Lisa Ann 20 years. There are a few more that are getting close to 10 years and many that are over 5 years. Of course there is the opposite of the spectrum which can be proven by choosing almost any performer that started doing porn in last 5 years. The average shelf life for almost every performer today is less than a year. It's to the point where if you blink then you will miss their blip on the porn radar.

I was watching something recently that was shot only a few months ago with Amber Rayne, and I guess I'd kinda forgotten she's been in the business for nine years now. And amazingly in that time--a veritable eternity in porn careers--she's bucked the trend of so many veteran performers and hasn't destroyed her body, gotten married, or softened her performances one bit! :-)

Other..... it depends on the person.
The best porn stars like the best actors & actresses can mature and go on for a lifetime, while most, of course, will choose other lifestyles and leave porn after a few months or a few years.

I thinks it's even more impressive when you consider the type of porn she has done in those 9 years. I think the only stuff that Amber hasn't done is stuff that is illegal to do.
