There are numerous stereotypes surrounding women, and these are amplified when it comes to those working in the adult film industry, as seen in the case of Cuban actress Angelina Castro. It's common to associate a porn actress with an easy life teeming with sexual partners.
During a recent interview on the podcast "Los del patio," a topic emerged that many might have wondered about: how many partners has Angelina Castro had during her career in adult films? The actress candidly addressed this issue, breaking the molds that often follow women in this field.
"What comes to mind when you think a woman in the adult film industry has been with numerous people? What is 'many'? How many men do you think I've been with in my 16-year career?" she asked the podcast hosts.
The young hosts guessed staggering numbers, ranging from 100 to 300 men. Angelina then posed a question about how many partners an average 40-year-old woman might have in today's world, with responses ranging from 40 to 50 men.
However, the actual number of partners Angelina has had in her adult film career surprised the hosts the most. "I've been with 20 men in the industry. So, I've been with fewer men than a typical woman who might be more promiscuous in her personal life," she stated. She clarified that she had other relationships in her private life outside of the industry.
"This industry has given me the confidence not to worry about what others think. Why should it matter what people think when I've been married for 16 years, have two children—one older than you and another 10 years old? Yes, I'm an adult film actress, but that's not shocking to my family," Angelina continued, explaining that the shock depends on the mental barriers people have.
"I'm married to a military man; my husband kills people. Is that more acceptable to you than me being with many partners?" she challenged the interviewers, dismantling their preconceived notions. "In society, I'm considered a third-class citizen; a dog has more rights than I do," she said, referring to the criticisms she has faced since choosing her career. Yet, she defiantly added, "I exist because billions consume my work."
