What Porn Stars Think About During Sex

This article originally appeared on VICE Australia.

I often find it hard to focus at work. I’ll be banging away at the keyboard, squinting at words on a screen while my mind drifts far away. It's the nature of my job, but then it's possibly the nature of most jobs—I think.

I visited a porn set the other week, and I got to wondering: Do porn stars daydream during sex? I mean, sure, it’s sex, but it’s also still work. And interestingly one study from 2010 found that most people daydream at least 30 percent of the time, except when they're having sex. So where does it fall for adult entertainers? I asked a few performers on the set of Light Southern's latest production.

VICE: So, obviously there’s a lot of professional stuff to think about, like how you’re presenting to camera, but where does your mind go when you’re shooting a scene?
Jake Shy: I usually think: Have I said “oh fuck” too many times? That's my go-to line. I’m really always thinking about what I’m going to do next. When’s the next scene? What else is happening this week? To be honest, I’ve got things running through my head nonstop. I'm always thinking about painting and getting out for a paint really.

So you’re in the action thinking that wall next to the train station would be pretty easy to reach?
One-hundred percent. I enjoy painting more than I enjoy sex, so that’s a big thing. That’s where my passion is. I’m a creator. So the sex in porn that I do is not my favorite part about doing the porn. It’s a very small part. I’ve had a lot of people tell me "it must be awesome doing that?" And yeah, it’s awesome, but that’s not where the awesomeness is really; It’s the end product.

Do you still get turned on?
That’s a hard one. It’s not a turn on like you’re watching porn. When I’m looking down I’m not thinking she's so hot. I guess if you were to do that, if you tried to be turned on, you’d come quicker.
