Adult Star’ shoots 300 scenes in 6 months and reveals how it affects her body.
Adult film star Hayley Davies recently opened up about the toll her intense filming schedule took on her body.
During an episode of Holly Randall’s Unfiltered podcast, Davies shared her journey from New Zealand to the U.S., where she jumped headfirst into the fast-paced world of adult entertainment.
In just six months, she filmed nearly 300 scenes—averaging close to two every single day.
The non-stop grind pushed her to the edge. “Some days, I was doing everything on my own,” she admitted.
At the time, Davies didn’t have a team. Editing, production—she handled it all. “Now I’ve got help with editing,” she said, “but back then, I needed full days just to get through that part.”
Even on days she wasn’t filming, Hayley Davies stayed busy with editing. The work never stopped. She remained constantly involved, whether in front of the camera or behind the scenes.
This relentless pace took a toll—physically and mentally. The combination of shooting and editing wore her down. It exposed the harsh realities adult film professionals often face.
Davies’s story shines a light on the pressure adult film stars endure, especially those managing multiple parts of production.
Her experience reveals the often-overlooked struggles in the industry. It also shows why support systems are crucial for adult content creators juggling so much alone.
Hayley Davies rarely took a day off from filming. Her schedule stayed packed.
She stressed the importance of setting aside time just for editing. Not every day involved collaborations—known as “collabs” in the adult film world.
Most days, she filmed two scenes. But sometimes, she pushed even harder. “I did five scenes in one day,” she revealed. “It was overwhelming.”
The routine became so intense that some days blurred together. The physical toll was real. Davies opened up about the pain her body endured from filming so frequently.
Her story highlights just how demanding the adult entertainment industry can be—even for its most dedicated stars.
“My p**sy was so sore I started taking two Tylenol and two Advil every morning before shooting,” Hayley Davies admitted. As the days dragged on, the pain only got worse. “I kept reaching for more meds just to make it through,” she added. Repeating to herself, “It’s OK, I can get through this,” became part of her daily survival.
During the podcast, adult filmmaker and host Holly Randall asked the hard question: “Did you ever think, maybe I should give my body a break?”
Davies paused, then explained she rarely gave herself more than a few days off.
Randall pressed further. Was she just trying to stockpile content for future downtime?
Davies said no—it was about momentum. Her career was exploding. “I was blowing away,” she said. “I was doing great, and I’m so data- and number-driven. I just wanted to see how far I could go.”
Statistics reveal that many adult film performers face similar challenges.
According to the Adult Industry Health and Safety Alliance, 80% of performers say strict filming schedules cause physical strain. Long hours have become the norm in a business where pushing limits is expected.
This reality underscores the urgent need for self-care in the adult entertainment industry.
Hayley Davies’s journey shows how hard it is to balance ambition with health. Her story sheds light on the often-overlooked struggles that adult film stars face while chasing success.
