As pornographers we walk a very delicate and dangerous line. Many of our consumers want to believe what they see. They want the sex to be real, the arousal to be real, the pain to be real, etc... They want us to be different from mainstream Hollywood productions (with its stunt people, saftey measures and well rescted actors).
With the Internet, as well as adult video companies (especially those workign in the fringe areas of the industry) it is hard for the general public to know what is acting and what is not. That can increase people's interest in a product or it can turn them off. Some people want it to be very clear that what they are seing is safe, sane and consenual (and accept it is a fantasy version of sexuality), while others want the exact oppositie or at least hope for the illusion of the opposite.
Like Alex said there are a bunch of porn consumers who don't care one bit about the well being of performers or the porn industry in general as long as they get off on what they see.
