    A rather attractive British girl recorded porn here. See asked budding Irish porn actors to send her their 'CV', so to speak, then came over and done the bold thing with them on camera. One lad was a mildly famous GAA player.

    There was a photo shoot going on across the Quays from me a while back, bloody Northsiders.

    As there are so many knowledgeable folks here what about swingers clubs like the one in Birmingham?

    There is a club in Prague where you pay an admission fee of xxx Czech krona, sign a waiver and go into a lounge area for a drink or two. In there, girls will come over for a chat. If you hit it off, you go into the back where your exploits are broadcast via the internet.

    Would you do it, lads?

    It's not illegal. I'd say it's more to do with the fact that ireland is so small that if you did do it. It wouldn't take long for someone you knew to find out.

    If you go to any of the porn aggregate sites and look up the words fûcked and dublin you'd find it. Also a website with with the name of a well known Apple device and the word porn after it has an Irish section.

    My sons ma is Czech and her family own a small apartment on the outskirts of Prague 5. Think drab ex-communist era blocks of flats. Back in the day, we used to go over together a lot. Anděl would be the nearest place to Big Sister to have a few pints of Dutch courage beforehand, in a somewhat decent boozer. You would meet a mix of young lads my age(at the time 18-25, now 28) and middle aged, balding, obese men preparing to go in. Always British and Irish tourists. I was never inside the gaff myself, but I can imagine it being a depressing kip.

    Oh, and they gave you a DVD of the 'action' too. Tommy tank hangover sorted.

    There is nothing criminal about sexual intercourse between two consenting adults being filmed. However, a public viewing of such a film may be deemed obscene, and the rental or purchase of same may be an offence pursuant to the Video Recordings Act 1989, as amended.

    Supplying an uncertified video (in the sense that is it uncertified by the Censor) is usually an offence, but the authorities seem to turn a blind eye to this activity.

    I knew a chap years ago who ran a number of porn sites. Most involved buying material from porn wholesalers ('w' optional, I suppose), but one he produced 'original content' with two eastern European girls. I don't think he was too bothered about the legality of his venture, and less bothered about declaring income from it.

    So it does occur, although Ireland being a culturally Anglo-Saxon country (in the same sense as the US or Australia are), it is likely taboo and largely underground - for it's size, for example, the UK has a tiny porn industry.

    I suspect conorh91's is the most accurate answer here so far. There's nothing illegal in recording a sexual act, only in where the resulting recording is shown and the question of whether a pornographer paying people to have sex could be in breach of Ireland's antiquated prostitution laws. Additionally, a 45 year old in a school uniform having sex may also fall into the category of child pornography as my understanding is that this is defined not by the age of the person being recorded but how they are made to appear.

    Very grey area, I suspect, with a lot of blind eyes being turned because no one wants to have to tackle getting an answer.

    I wonder if there's any money to be made?
    I read a guardian article about feminist porn. It actually had a load of information about the industry and it's marketing/distribution. Since porn "tube" type sites have been created most mainstream creators aren't actually making that much money. Most "consumers" are going to free sites like those rather than buying or subscribing to original content.
    The only people really making money are niche manufacturers. People who make feminist porn, fetish stuff etc..

    Not here, the markets is too small, the climate is lousy. I dunno how many country mansions there are that can be let out for this sort of thing (its a handy earner in certain places). Maybe a particular niche like Ginger Traveller Porn...? A Fistful of Fifties

    Auld fella and some brazen young hussey.

    They went for the rural setting, he seduced her in a hay barn, classic porn setting.

    I actually wrote a 5000 word paper on innovation and marketing in porn. Porn's responsible for so much stuff. The first webcam software was for porn. The first online checkout was for porn. In the 80's it was one of the major deciders in the VHS Vs Betamax wars. Sony even partnered with porn manufacturers in Japan to boot the sales of 3D TV.
    And if anyone wants a laugh, look up seniors being shown porn on an occulus rift. If there's a way to make money from something the porn industry generally figures out a way :)
    I think there's probably a way to monetise it in Ireland but it's probably too much effort and not worth the payout.

    In fairness, excluding the decent looking brass from the UK, any Irish jazz had some gamey mots in it.

    The Tallaght girl in the main Irish porno was riding a lad that had a head like a melted welly.

    Another wee mot from Clondalkin/Tallaght done a porno when she was Australia. Some Aussie lad and herself where brought up to the back of beyond. They rode the arse of eaxh other. Now she's home shes claiming exploitation.

    She rode the f*ck outta him. Fair play to her. I ended up in The Laurels on Christmas eve and bought her a drink.

    We literally used to reverse engineer porn user tracking logic, back around 1998, to develop commercial CBR solutions.

    Nowadays, they're no longer on the cutting edge (of apps) unfortunately.
