Who America's Porn Stars Support For President

Not whom you’d expect.

Porn and politics make for strange bedfellows, yet they’re two fields that are inexorably tied together.

While legally protected, the adult entertainment industry regularly finds itself fighting regulatory efforts. This November, for instance, voters in California will consider a ballot measure requiring performers in adult films to wear condoms and use other safety precautions, including gloves, dental dams and other skin protections to avoid contact with bodily fluids. (Violators would face fines of $70,000 and more.)

So as the stars walked the red carpet at this year’s AVN Awards (the so-called “Oscars of porn”), we did a straw poll, asking whom they supported in this year’s presidential race. We’ve pulled some of the best replies below – and we’ll tell you who won overall a bit later. (It wasn’t the runaway you might expect, either.)

<--- snip --->

So which candidate won the vote of the adult entertainment industry? Early on in the evening, Trump was the leader, but ultimately, the Democrats reigned supreme. Here were the top three:

Sanders: 20 votes
Trump: 11 votes
Clinton: 10 votes

Outgoing President Barack Obama, by the way, received one vote.

So, I take it these were all female porn stars, except for one male?

Finally!  A poll of the poles.

Unknown. Though that is the (understandable) breakdown of the people actually quoted in the article.

I'd not be surprised though. Male porn stars don't get put up for as many nominations as female stars. While women enjoy porn just as much as men, they tend to be less vocal about it!  :tongue2:

Bernie?  Really? With all the Benjamin's they get in their g-strings, they're going socialist???

The Donald I get, who among them wouldn't want a billionaire?  But Bernie?  He'd be taxing those tips hard time.

This isn't that long of a poll.
