Porn usually only addresses the subject of heartbreak when a man walks in on his wife getting penetrated by three strangers, or when a young woman decides to have lesbian sex because her boyfriend cheated on her with his Spanish tutor. So it's easy to think that porn actors themselves would never struggle to find love. But in reality, they are just as vulnerable to being left dumped and heartbroken as anyone else.
While surrounded by plastic penises and silicon vaginas, we offered porn stars at the Venus Erotic Trade Fair in Berlin last month a break from answering questions about their favorite sex positions, and instead asked them to tell us about the challenges they face while maintaining relationships, and the last time they were left truly heartbroken.

"I was really in love five years ago, I even got a tattoo of his initials. We were complete opposites—I have a really dark sense of humor, while he was pragmatic and not funny at all. He had a normal job, and during our two-year relationship I took a break from the porn industry because he didn't want to be with 'that kind of girl,' and because I was raising two children.
"Eventually, I chose my career over the man and it really broke my heart. Afterward, I said I'd never let myself get hurt like that again. My children are OK with what I do, and my new partner has grown to appreciate my career, even though he has a normal job. Sometimes we make amateur videos together. He is a lot more open-minded."
