Jesse Jane plans cosmetic surgery to hide imperfections newly visible.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21 The XXX industry has gotten too graphic, even for its own tastes.
Pornography has long helped drive the adoption of new technology, from the printing press to the videocassette. Now pornographic movie studios are staying ahead of the curve by releasing high-definition DVDs.
They have discovered that the technology is sometimes not so sexy. The high-definition format is accentuating imperfections in the actors from a little extra cellulite on a leg to wrinkles around the eyes.
Hollywood is dealing with similar problems, but they are more pronounced for pornographers, who rely on close-ups and who, because of their quick adoption of the new format, are facing the issue more immediately than mainstream entertainment companies.
Producers are taking steps to hide the imperfections. Some shots are lit differently, while some actors simply are not shot at certain angles, or are getting cosmetic surgery, or seeking expert grooming.
The biggest problem is razor burn, said Stormy Daniels, an actress, writer and director.
Ms. Daniels is also a skeptic. Im not 100 percent sure why anyone would want to see their porn in HD, she said.
The technologys advocates counter that high definition, by making things clearer and crisper, lets viewers feel as close to the action as possible.
Bush's fault...
bttt
Now we have to dumb-down our HDTV to make it look like 16mm.

"Bush's fault..."
Oh, poor little babies. The smut and family destruction industry is struggling with trash creation. Oh...I'm all broke up over it.
Sure. HIV, other STDs, rampant drug abuse, and the whole moral emptiness of it all pale in comparison.
Jenna Jameson in HD
My first LOL of the day...
well played.
The first instance of tech driving pr0n, rather than the other way around.
Now I can go to work with a laugh..good one.
Are you sure you want to use "driving" and "porn" in the same sentence? ;)
LOL!
Hahahahahah! You've saved my Monday, good sir!
It is rumored that Disney is coming out with a new adult flick that will be in HD. The title is "Bambi Does it for a Buck".
I see a whole new industry selling foggy glasses! A small extra charge for the rose-colored tint.
