The porn business is a notoriously transient industry, with performers coming and going all the time (even if we're most used to seeing them coming). Most of those exits are quiet, like the anonymous babelog model who slips back into civilian life after a handful of shoots. But there are some gals who like to leave a little more memorably. After the jump, a look back at some of our favorite—or at least best remembered—porn star exits. After all, isn't it always better to go out with a bang instead of a whimper?

Surely someone had to have come up with this name before. But its current owner, featured in a movie called "Aussie Fuckfest: Gold Coast," was the subject of one of those vaguely sorrowful "Look at what's become of us!" stories in an Australian publication last year during the movie's filming. We take a look at the disconnect between porn and its coverage after the gap.

Those wacky porn stars... is there anything they won't do? Well yes, actually. Though some adult performers are up for anything, others shy away from things like double anal or even interracial scenes (to say nothing of the more hardcore dirtpipe milkshake). But of the many things that make up the standard porn arsenal, which acts are commonplace and which are, uh, harder to come by? Based on the listings on one adult talent agency's website, an enterprising blogger has done a bit of research ... and the answers may surprise you. Out of just over 900 porn stars, how many would participate in a solo shoot? Boy/girl? Double vaginal? Actual acting? Answers (with some helpful photo illustrations) after the jump.

Jesse Santana Would Like You To Know ...

Depending what flavor of porn you're more familiar with, you may know Christian under his previous incarnation as Maxx Diesel, former exclusive for Falcon Studios: his career in the adult industry started after he emailed directrix Chi Chi LaRue, who (unsurprisingly) managed to talk him into doing gay porn. That was years ago, and the self-admittedly heterosexual Christian — who has since made a name for himself as one of straight porn's most sought-after leading men in productions for Digital Playground and Tristan Taormino, among many others— says he doesn't regret any of it , even if he still loses scenes on a regular basis because some silly girl is too squeamish to perform with him. "I mean, what do they think? That they're going to get cooties?" he asks on his blog, Christian Sings The Blues. He also talks about shopping at Target with Lexi Belle and being the third wheel on a date with Brett Brando and Penny Flame at the Hamburger Hamlet. His observations of life as a male performer are a rare glimpse into wjat really goes on in Porn Valley ... and what it's really like being Christian. - JC

As difficult as it must be being a muscled and (formerly) chemically fortified porn star like Erik Rhodes, it must be even more difficult being an similarly muscled and (formerly?) chemically fortified ex-boyfriend of a porn star like "Road Rules" studlet Danny Dias, especially when he gets really pissed off when he watches you bottom for Tyler Saint in "Dare." (But why? It's not even like it was his first time!) Let Erik tell you what happened next: "(A) bunch of picturez were smashed (not by me), a couple bloody lips, i think my foot is broken (i'm clueless to how that happened) and the good old cops were called. Thanks to that, i had to throw away hundreds of dollars worth of 'sports medicine', because my loving bf said he was gonna rat me out and have me sent away." (Or just check out the Cliffs Notes versions at The Sword.). Don't worry Erik: we still love you. No matter where your career choices happen to take your ass.
