Models from Scandinavia

[keeddy]

I think we need more girls from Scandinavia on LP, Finland, Iceland and especially from Norway, Denmark and Sweden. Blonde valkyries destroyed by monster cock team.

Seconded. My theory has always been that countries with more social securities create fewer stars.

Seconded. My theory has always been that countries with more social securities create fewer stars.

Sound theory, along with overall standard of living as well, meaning girls don’t NEED to look at porn as a career. You see it with countries like Switzerland and the Netherlands as well. There are porn girls but like Scandinavia few and far between.

There used to be a few producers in Sweden that did great porn for its time and they were able to recruit talent. I am certain that you could scout Swedish girls for some adventure, provided that they feel safe and are taken care of.

Quite a few Russian girls recently claim they are from Finland.
Some Russians of course indeed moved to Helsinki.
Jessica has a finish accent talking, though.

[PornoManiac]

too white for me

[IndyPleco]

Imagine going to a thread requesting more African models and for some reason being compelled to tell people you think they’re “too black”

[Lotto]

That would be perfect. Scandinavian women are the best.

Seconded. My theory has always been that countries with more social securities create fewer stars.

Thirded!
But theory is right of course, the less social security and good money possible to earn at a fairly easy job the fewer porn stars.
Scandinavia, Germany, Britain or Netherlands on the other hand can be a good pond for freaks and libertines or adventurers like that Jessica.
Some of these girls just do it for the fun even more than the money - like Brit chick Lara Malvo - but never without money on a porn set of course. Just to kill your fantasies!

Such girls can actually get scouted by social scouts quite easily, but they still need a real agency helping them later - or just real porn experience and good self-management.

There is some truth in what you say, but I don't it's quite that simple.

The problem for both men and women, who want to become porn-stars, is that once they show themselves in porn, then the rest of society ostracizes them and closes opportunities for them to do other things.

Which means that they need to make a living completely from porn and nothing else. And they might be able to do it, when they are young and good-looking. But this eventually becomes a big problem, when they either want to leave porn, or when they lose their popularity and can't make enough money.

Because of the way mainstream society treats them, many porn-stars are liable to end up in poverty and become socially isolated too.

Porn-stars can prevent this by saving their earnings and using them during their retirement. But this works only for people from poor countries, where living expenses are low. This doesn't work for people from richer countries, like Denmark, Sweden, and others. Because the living expenses there are so high that porn-stars can't save enough money for their retirement.

Agree, but times are changing. What used to be looked down on is changing a lot. 20 years ago only sailors and criminals wore tattoos and having a tattoo was a legitimate reason to not hire you.
Having done porn will be like having smoked marijuana when young.
The most popular youtube personalities talk in detail about sex.
Watching porn has become mainstream and in-officially accepted.
Jenna Haze is studying to become a psychologist. I assume she use her real name but I don't expect her to have a problem if people find out. Probably she could find enough patients within the business, lol!

[MaxJ]

Probably the most famous scandinavian porn star Dina Jewel.

[hjohjole]

Seconded. My theory has always been that countries with more social securities create fewer stars.

There is some truth to this. But if you look at the UK, France and Spain for example thees are all counties with high standards of living and social securities. But they unlike Scandinavian countries do in fact have a very active porn industry and produce many actresses who we see in European porn productions.

In the past things used to be very different. In fact back in the 1960ies Denmark and Sweden pretty much pioneered and laid the foundation for what would later become the porn industry as we know it today. This year it is exactly 50 years ago since Denmark as the first country in the world legalized pornographic images. Sweden followed shortly after that. But interestingly enough it would take Norway all the way until 2006 to implement the same laws. I think this if anything shows that there are some stark contrasts and polar opposite attitudes toward pornography and sexuality at work in the Scandinavian counties.

So what happened to Scandinavian porn?

Well it pretty much became irrelevant and outdated with the arrival of hardcore pornography. The style of early Scandinavian erotica was always very innocent and lighthearted at its core. Some may say that it was never really intended as actual pornography but was more an act of liberation and a challenge of old norms. With the emergence of hardcore porn in the 1970ies other counties took over the leading role as porn producers. And as hardcore porn developed and became more and more popular the Scandinavian style became increasingly irrelevant.

Sure there where some producer who tried to keep up with the times but they where never quite able to do so successfully. I think i saw some Swedish porn DVDs being released as late as 2012 or somewhere around then. And there may or may not still be some very amateur level productions going on to this date that i don't know of.
Some of the last big budget Swedish porno's where released in the early 2000s. But there was just no way for them to compete. Even if the movies had some hot babes and a few anal scenes here and there they where really nothing compared to the top movies of the same time. Swedish producers were still making silly porn parodies/comedies reminiscent of a happy past. And this is at the same point in time as the Gonzo style is emerging in full force in the rest of the world. If you would put those movies next to something that Rocco Siffredi, Perfect Gonzo or Anabolic was making at the same time they wold pale away as just embarrassing and awkward.

And most importantly the attitudes towards porn changed drastically. From being viewed as something progressive and liberating to being viewed as something harmful and oppressive towards women.

[IndyPleco]

I'm sure the attitude change has something to do with it. We've definitely come a long way from a bunch of hippies going at it.

But if you look at the UK, France and Spain for example thees are all counties with high standards of living and social securities.

They do to a point, but I would argue that those countries (especially Spain) have more pockets of poverty where people might do porn as a means to an end than the Nordic countries, Switzerland, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, etc. All places with very few performers but not much else in common.

[dap-addict]

IndyPleco; Spain yes, also due to Latin American immigration, but what about France and UK than?

[YumYum74]

France and the UK also have lots of pockets of poverty, especially in the big cities. I would argue much more than in the Nordic countries. That is an element that can’t be underestimated.

Oh there's no argument about that, just read the statistics, or else go to London and Paris and see the numbers of people sleeping on the streets and begging.

Unfortunately, there is such a thing as a double-standard in society. People say it's okay to watch porn. But then they condemn those who make porn and discriminate against them. Here are some examples of such double standards and discrimination in USA:

[Jocke]

Yes, I am aware of the double standards. I was referring to a future state which I think will come. When our parents generation disappear and everyone is watching porn and when porn stars become become main stream stars, things will change. I bet things will be different 10 years from now. Much due to that internet makes it apparent to everyone that porn is big and mass consumed.

I might be wrong though.

I think discrimination is like crime. It never disappears entirely, even when there are strong laws and penalties against such behavior. Because not everybody is nice.

Right now, it's free-for-all to discriminate and abuse porn-makers and porn-star. Employers, landlords, and even people on the street can do it with impunity. Because there are no laws and no rules against it.

And it will probably stay like this, until the laws and the rules are changed to discourage such behavior. But just as with crime, some people will continue to do it anyway, even when there are laws and rules against it. You can only decrease such behavior, but not eliminate it entirely.

The future state doesn't come on its own. People usually have to fight for their rights, sometimes for generations, before anything changes.

Would love to see some nordic girls, especially swedes. But as you all already have said, its kind difficult to recruit by various reasons, and the main one may be that there are the few actresses in the business.

However I believe there are some girls whom is up for the task, should they get the question. On of the biggest site in Sweden is probably https://www.johanvilde.com/

This say more of swedish porn nowadays than the quality of the site tho. Even so, the site has been upgraded quality-wise during the last couple of years, and by some reason Selvaggia, Blanche Bradburry AND Proxy Paige (early days) has all made some apperances on the site.

The biggest star on the site is no doubt Sanna Rough, whom is swede and been in the business for quite some time.

Https://www.johanvilde.com/movie-online/Sanna

Maybe not the Belle Claire-looks, but she sure has a LP-esque aura as she does great gangbangs, anal, DP etc. She would probably be available if LP should send a request, and thats always a start for the nordic market..!
