Porn star demographics
Porn star demographics
Jon Millward explored porn star demographics using a data scrape from the Internet Adult Film Database: hair color, race, and birthplace, among other things. (There aren't any dirty pictures, but there's some terminology that might be NSFW.)
The average measurements?
I thought that maybe if the women are overestimating how light they are, they might also be a bit too generous when reporting their measurements. It turns out they probably aren't though, because the most common bra size for a female porn star is a surprisingly handleable 34B. Not double-D, not even a D. Double-D actually came in 4th, behind B, C and D. The most common set of measurements for the women was 34–24-34.
So, if the average female porn star is a 5'5" woman who weighs 117lbs and has B-cup breasts, what colour is her hair? Blonde, presumably, if my friends' guesses were anything to go by.
Apparently not. Dark-haired porn stars outnumber blonde ones almost 2-to-1.
Millward doesn't look at changes over time a whole lot, but if the BMI of Playboy playmates is any indicator, I bet those measurements have changed over the years.
Vacation, All These People Ever People Wanted

- Russian asteroid strike: Numerous injuries, significant damage
- Humans and chimps share genetic strategy in battle against pathogens
- Nitric oxide: A little molecule's remarkable feat -- prolonging life, worm study shows
| Russian asteroid strike: Numerous injuries, significant damage Posted: 15 Feb 2013 04:21 PM PST A space rock a few metres across exploded in Earth's atmosphere above the city of Chelyabinsk, Russia today (Feb. 15, 2013) at about 03:15 GMT. The numerous injuries and significant damage remind us that what happens in space can affect us all.  |
| Humans and chimps share genetic strategy in battle against pathogens Posted: 14 Feb 2013 11:16 AM PST A search for long-lived balancing selection has found at least six regions of the genome where humans and chimpanzees share a combination of genetic variants. These human genetic variation dates back to a common ancestor with chimpanzees millions of years ago, before the species split.  |
| Nitric oxide: A little molecule's remarkable feat -- prolonging life, worm study shows Posted: 14 Feb 2013 10:26 AM PST Nitric oxide, the versatile gas that helps increase blood flow, transmit nerve signals, and regulate immune function, appears to perform one more biological feat -— prolonging the life of an organism and fortifying it against environmental stress, according to a new study.  |

| Hubble sees cosmic 'flying v' of merging galaxies Posted: 15 Feb 2013 04:39 PM PST The Hubble Space Telescope has taken an image of a large "flying V" that is actually two distinct objects -- a pair of interacting galaxies known as IC 2184.  |

| Supernova remnants produce cosmic rays Posted: 14 Feb 2013 04:41 PM PST A new study reveals the first clear-cut evidence the expanding debris of exploded stars produces some of the fastest-moving matter in the universe. This discovery is a major step toward understanding the origin of cosmic rays, one of Fermi's primary mission goals.  |
| Clues to the mysterious origin of cosmic rays Posted: 14 Feb 2013 11:18 AM PST Very detailed new observations of the remains of a thousand-year-old supernova have revealed clues to the origins of cosmic rays. For the first time the observations suggest the presence of fast-moving particles in the supernova remnant that could be the precursors of such cosmic rays.  |
| Humans and chimps share genetic strategy in battle against pathogens Posted: 14 Feb 2013 11:16 AM PST A search for long-lived balancing selection has found at least six regions of the genome where humans and chimpanzees share a combination of genetic variants. These human genetic variation dates back to a common ancestor with chimpanzees millions of years ago, before the species split.  |
| Near-Earth asteroid makes preview appearance Posted: 14 Feb 2013 08:11 AM PST Like trailers for the coming attraction, new images show asteroid 2012 DA14 on its way to a record-close approach to Earth on Feb. 15. One image, taken by amateur astronomer Dave Herald of Murrumbateman, Australia, on Feb. 13, shows the asteroid as a tiny white dot in the field of view. Another set of animated images, obtained by the Faulkes Telescope South in Siding Springs, Australia, on Feb. 14, and animated by the Remanzacco Observatory in Italy, shows the asteroid as a bright spot moving across the night sky.  |

| Posted: 14 Feb 2013 10:39 AM PST The first animal model of recent human evolution reveals that a single mutation produced several traits common in East Asian peoples, from thicker hair to denser sweat glands, and computer models suggest the variation arose about 30,000 years ago in central China.  |
| Vision restored with total darkness in kittens with amblyopia Posted: 14 Feb 2013 10:39 AM PST Restoring vision might sometimes be as simple as turning out the lights. That's according to a study in which researchers examined kittens with a visual impairment known as amblyopia before and after they spent 10 days in complete darkness.  |
