Methodology
This analysis combines two data sources: 5,897 performer profiles from our main database (including nationality, ethnicity, height, hair/eye color, career status, and social media links) and 1,996 enriched profiles from Freeones (adding age, birth date, body measurements, cup size, breast type, zodiac sign, and career start year).
Statistics derived from Freeones data (age, zodiac, body measurements, career start) are based on the enriched subsample and may not be perfectly representative of the full dataset. Sample sizes are noted alongside each statistic for transparency.
Industry-wide context statistics are sourced from published research, including the Jon Millward study of 10,000 performers, IAFD database analyses, and industry market reports from 2024–2025.
