Browsing the agency websites and a couple gals listed as models caught my eye. Now, I've always opted for pornstars since you always had a way better idea of a possible performance. Lets face it, not all give it their best in private. So unless they happen to have a review, its a crap shoot. But for those who have tried the ladies who aren't in porn, has the experience been better, worse or about even?

talk to a legitimate agency and find out.
would not trust Dream Girls as that agency has listed girls who are not active. for example Jenna Presley no longer in business yet this agency keeps advertising her photo

This is true. I have done almost 250 XXX films but I really enjoy what I do. I enjoy the company of a gentleman, the touch of his hands on my body, the intimacy. Even if I would not have done any adult films I still would have been the same. It just so happens that I was in the business for 10 years.
Always have fun and do your research on the woman you would like to see....

Generally not better.  

I got tired of the porn star experience, in part feeling the prices greatly inflated.  However, I went back after a while.  At least you know what your getting when you see a porn star, others I've generally been disappointed even when you see verified and heavily reviewed girls.  Sometime I question the reviews.  

I recently started using European porn star agencies.  The prices are generally more realistic, and if you cannot travel they travel at reasonable rates.  The experience has been much better.

And bless all of the providers who share your attitude.
