Hot Girls Wanted

So as I was (procrastinating) browsing through the recently added Netflix shows, I came across this new documentary 'Hot Girls Wanted'. To be fair, the title its self gave me a preconceived conception of poor taste but a potentially effortless way to waste an hour or so. The short synopsis read that the film was produced by Rashia Jones (The Office US), so it can't be all bad, surely?
Once clicking play I was delved into a world of amateur porn; where 'girl next door' fame and money hungry teenage girls were turning to this industry to make something for themselves...yet it wasn't necessarily all that they bargained for, obviously.
The documentary started off throwing facts about how Pornhub has more monthly viewers/users than all the major social networking sites combined. The film was mainly portraying the lives of a couple of amateur female pornstars, some who had almost ran away from home, all living under one 'talent manager's' roof and showed their provocative lifestyle, which may have paid well but was evidently an absolute form of exploitation.
The girls, some of whom were my own age (19) were almost being forced to perform sexual acts on men much older, much less attractive all for money, and for a potential Kim Kardashian style fame (or that one of off Teen Mom). Some of the girls described this one show which they would go 'perform' on, which was literally the most repelling and inhumane thing I've ever heard of...they would give the guy (who's also the cameraman) a blow job and he'd choke them until they couldn't take it any more and then they would throw up, whilst he filmed it all. Some of the girls, when being asked what their thoughts were about doing it, said "it's what some people want to see, some people like it so why not".
It was so sad to see girls who had so much going for them, so much more to offer than quite frankly selling their bodies to strangers, give up everything (in many cases their families too) to earn quick and easy money. By the end of it, out of about 6 girls who lived in the house only 2 had continued on in the industry whilst the others had all inevitably quit. I think this documentary definitely highlights the predominantly negative side to the industry that many never even think to consider, but just shows how much of a male-dominated industry it is, and how easily young girls can be deceived into the world by the ambition of money, without considering how exploited and dictated their bodies and lives are becoming.
