It seems that Jenna Jameson has become an American pop icon, and there is much to the Jenna phenom that is taking over our culture. The past few years I have gotten more and more looks from people when they hear my name, I can see it in everyone’s eyes, even those who don’t ask, “Are you related to Jenna?”. I take it as a compliment because Jenna does look good, and she is considered by most people to be a classy pornstar. It’s certainly better to be asked about a Jenna Jameson relationship for me, than say, some other nasty porn star like Bella Donna.
Jenna strikes me as a phenomanon becasue she has become so wildly popular, and many women seem to be okay with her as an icon and a pornstar. I believe that manywomen initially liked Jenna because many of her movies were more on the classy side, and there wasn’t much that would be considered overly trashy compared to some of the other porn that has been hitting the shelves the past so many years. I am sure a lot of this has to do with the contracts and choices of production companies along with good directors and editing people she has chosen to work with over the years.
What really suprises me is all of the newer fans that are embracing Jenna. I think half a million of her fans / people on her myspace freinds list probably don’t even realize how her career films have been much different, I think a majority of her younger fans prabably just see some slick photos and a few box covers and just think she is hot, and don’t really take into consideration that her porn is a bit less hardcore often times than what else is out there.
I would bet that most people who are fans haven’t watched enough of her porn, or other porn to really make a distinction to see, and that a moajority of her younger fams are probably okay with really hardcore porn. Either way, she has had biographies on TV and is one of the most popular girls on myspace and other media I am sure. Wether anyone else could use her formula for success is up for debate seeing as today’s new porn genreration seems to have more tolerance for hardcore, multiple partner butt sex than generations past.
