This article is from the Sex Movies FAQ, by director@gti.net (The Director) with numerous contributions by others.
In almost all the sex scenes, the women are completely
naked except for their shoes.
The big main reasons that actresses almost universally
wear high heels are: (1) they make legs look sexier by
accentuating the curve of the calves; (2) to appeal to
shoe fetishists, and (3) (this is probably the most
important practical reason) because soundstages are dirty
places with cold concrete floors and the actresses want
to keep their feet clean and warm.
Someone actually asked Ashlyn Gere, a popular video
actress, why this was in an interview. She said, quite
simply, that the floors are dirty and most of them didn't
want to step on anything sharp. True or not, that's what
she said.
This is becoming a topic of debate lately. Certain
factions feel that the floors of porn studios can't be
that dirty, and Ron Jeremy walks around in bare feet...
Others say the studios are that dirty.
Bill Majors jumps into the fray by stating that "the
stages are NOT all that dirty. However, they ARE all that
dangerous. Nails, wires, tacks, staples, etc., are often
to be found about, and one never can keep it clean. Why?
Well, if a show is shot on several sets then there is
always movement, set dressing, and such. If a lamp falls
and breaks, while it is swept up, there is often no time
to vacuum, and/or mop, and so being shoeless is really
not a good idea. However, I do believe that your first
reason about the shape, etc., is the real reason."
There is a picture floating around of Nikki Charm and
Wayne Summers, and the bottoms of Nikki's feet are
clearly seen, and they are FILTHY. So, who knows?
The fact that the shoe thing persists pisses off bare
foot fetishists everywhere. They say the dirt should be
sacrificed for their kink. Maybe they're right. You
decide.
