Last night, WeTV—a network we were surprised to learn was in our cable package—broadcast an episode of their documentary series "Secret Lives of Women" that focused on the not-so-secret (to us, anyway) world of pornstars. Apparently, they don't just have sex 24 hours a day! The show focused on Fleshbot faves Gina Lynn, Nicki Hunter, Tera Patrick and Buck Angel (who used to look more like a woman, so we guess he counts), and it did a good job of relating each one's unique story while treating like them like ordinary people who just happen to have not-so-ordinary jobs.

In case WeTV isn't in your cable package, catch some excerpts —including Gina's take on living in a pornstar household with husband and fellow performer Travis Knight; another about the rise of Teravision; Nicki's amazing porn comeback after a bout with leukemia; and Buck's story on making waves in the porn industry as its first FTM transsexual performer—after the jump.

However, had you not left early to beat the taxi line like we did, you would also have seen the lovely Tristan Taormino take home the trophy for Best Gonzo Release, the first time the award was won by a woman; the equally lovely Buck Angel win Best Transexual Performer, the first time (though we hope not the last) the award was won by an FTM actor; the eminent Joanna Angel win Best Porn Comedy for "Joanna's Angels 2: Alt Throttle"; the shoulder-stink avoiding Mika Tan win Underrated Starlet of the Year; and Fleshbot faves Jack The Zipper and Eon McKai tie for Best All-Sex Release for "Blacklight Beauties" and "Neu Wave Hookers" respectively.
