Siri

You know, I'm really torn about Siri (the porn star, not the stupid iPhone thing.)

Here's the basic story. She just started doing porn this year and has become very popular. Which is awesome, because she seems like a super cool human being, is very positive, clearly not forced into the industry, has a personality and isn't just a pretty face, etc..

Now, the Academy Awards for the adult industry are the AVN awards.

Her studio wanted to nominate her for the BBW category - because by any definition a woman with her body - including HH breasts - is a larger woman than usual for the main category.

But she was like "Fuck that, I'm not a BBW fetish object! I want to be in the normal category!"

And she got nominated for "Best New Starlet" - and is the odds on favorite to win.

Now part of me is like "great! It's time that women with larger bodies are able to compete with the women who have standard porn star bodies! This is progress!"

But... then I think about the way she's marketed - and it's all about her significantly larger than usual breasts. Much of it brags about how they weigh eight pounds each.

And I worry that if new porn stars see what's happening and are like "shit, to get the awards you need huge breasts" - they might all start getting ridiculous implants.

And, just four years ago we were all celebrating that Sasha Grey's popularity - with her normal sized obviously non implant breasts - as a good thing because it would reduce the number of women in the adult industry who felt like they needed to get boob jobs to compete. (And it did. The number of smaller, natural boobs has grown tremendously since Sasha.)

So, I can't decide if Siri represents a step forward or a step back.

What do you think?

Rome Girl is sort of convincing me of the "good for her" mindset.

Can't click/view due to being at work, but--huge breasts don't equal "BBW"! I'm not a fan of that acronym, anyway, but it surely does not refer to breast size!

True.

Came here to say this. I don't like the term because it's almost never accurate and sure as hell doesn't refer to breast size.

And--whether her HHs are natural or not, some women do have naturally large breasts. It's sad if her win, which would be a win for *her*, not simply for her boobs, is seen as some sort of bodily mandate. Women shouldn't be ruled out of winning the category simply because they have bodies to which some other women can't/shouldn't aspire.

For me the bigger issue is that she gets categorized as a BBW in the first place. Her body is pretty typical of most women. I think labeling her as a BBW (or, let's be honest here, fat) creates a dangerous standard that most women just can't meet. I now she markets herself as having HHs I don't know about that thought. They are big but a lot of that stuff gets hyped.

I applaud her for demanding to be judged in a general category instead of shunted off into a specialty slot.

Do I think it's going to cause porn actresses to run out and get implants? Don't most of them get implants anyway? I think there will alwasy be a space for natural boobs, just the same way there will always be a space for BBWs.

Yeah, I gotta say that unless the fisheye effect on that pic behind the cut is really slimming, she doesn't look *anything* like what you'd expect from "a BBW actress".

Oh fuck that. She should be in the category "circus freak."

If they opened that category, they'd have to retroactively classify most of porn there.

Wow, that's some big breasts. She's not really "fat" though is she? just really really big boobs; so I don't see her being in the BBW category.

I'm not sure why people feel they need to be "just like" the most recent winner to be appreciated. From your description of the award history a variety of breast sizes are appreciated.

That picture is not really helpful. Can you post one that shows her actual body and not a fisheye of her tits? That's kind of important to the question.

My immediate answer, though, would be that the success Sasha and Siri (assuming she is a BBW and not just a very endowed but otherwise normally sized woman) have seen are not mutually exclusive and just because they're getting their time in the spotlight four years apart does not mean that the porn world can only like one particular kind of body at a time. And if that is the case, I think it does a lot to demand to be judged alongside all of your peers as opposed to just those that share your build. This is, after all, the Oscars of pornography, not a dog show.

I just checked her web site. Her hips and thighs are what you'd expect from a non-fat woman in her 30s, rather than from a thin 20 year old. Other than that and her breasts, she looks like a typical White porn star. She is not BBW.

I think its stupid for the porn industry to assume that all it takes to get us off is a pair of boobs anyway. I mean if the picture doesn't show at least a face I scroll past. To me, a woman is beautiful as a whole, not as individual body parts. She has to have a nice feminine body, but also a pretty face, and something about her personality has to shine through in her expressions / body language. I want to see her enjoying herself, not just offering up implanted tits to be fucked with a snarl like she's angry with me. I find lots of women attractive with all sorts of body types as long as they're cute, confident, and look like they're having fun. The ones I think are ugliest are the ones who try to be something they're not, or just reduce themselves to a pile of fuckable body parts.

It may seem stupid to you but porn is about making money and a pile of fuckable body parts make money. Honestly, most people looking at porn only watch it long enough to get off and a pretty face maybe nice but they'd rather see naked boobs or pussy.

So I get what you are saying, but it runs contrary to what makes money.

I think that her boobs make me want to hide under the bed in terror. Getting knockers that big cannot be good for your health...

I know! That looks like a medical condition to be corrected surgically, and then there would be a very nice-looking woman left.

They're not actually that big when you're not using trick photography. Though they may still be big enough for what you say to be true.

A couple of full body shots of Siri to give folks a better idea of her size and shape.

Shes not really a freak, its just that ridiculous camera angle in that pic.

Siri wouldn't be considered a BBW by anyone that liked BBW porn. So I think she is right. But every porn star is a fuckin fetish object.

Even though I'm pretty much straight, i do like looking at naked women. However, the pictures of Siri just make me think "jeebus, isn't she in pain all the time from that much weight on her front?!" Yikes.

I suppose being born a natural HH your two options are probably breast reduction or porn. I should remember that next time I feel bad about my small chest.
