Like any other job, porn has its fair share of embarrassing workplace hazards. Unlike other jobs, however, the hazards that one faces in the adult entertainment industry are less about slipping and falling and much more about possibly getting diarrhea on your face.
Vice spoke to several of the adult industry’s top stars about what their most embarrassing moments on set were. After you read all six, it’s possible that you’ll both be laughing and giving thanks to whatever deity you believe in. Why? Because no one has ever accidentally pooped in your mouth, or been unable to fulfill their assigned duties because their Spongebob Squarepants costume just wouldn’t let them.
Here’s just one of the stories, from industry veteran Johnny Sins. It’s not gross, but there is a fire if you’re not into that sort of thing:
The worst scenes are always whenever you almost get injured on set. There was this one time I was playing a fireman and I was supposed to rush into this house and save Nikki Benz. Budgets on porn shoots aren’t that high, though. This production assistant had a lighter and a can hair spray to create the fire effect. I was supposed to run into the house and he’d blow a fireball behind me, but this kid did it right as I was running in. He blew a fireball at me, and I hit the deck. It was like everything went into slow motion. I was terrified that I had my eyebrows singed or my face was burnt off. I counted my blessings and luckily only my shirt was singed. Looking back, I can’t believe we did that—a scene with real fire. We didn’t do the shot again, to say the least. There’s a lot that happens on set that ends up in blooper reels. I would love to see that footage now.
You can read the rest of the stories, but you should know that a lot of them have to do with poop. Okay, almost all of them are about poop. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
