It does seem to have some effect on the performers’ private life however. Here is a question from Matt Williams, answered by Courtney Taylor:
“You find it hard now, having sex with civilians¹?”
“Oh yeah, absolutely.”
[1] From the rest of the interview, I gathered that “civilian” was a bit derogatory.
Just to say that doing porn may tend to raise one’s expectations. Sure, they optimise for the viewer, but I’d be surprised if they didn’t try and have fun along the way, just like actors in mainstream films. I’d be surprised to learn their knowledge and experience doesn’t make them very good partners, should they optimize for that.

I don’t know, if a porn star finds sex with non-porn stars unsatisfying, then I’d think they wouldn’t be a very good sex partner for people who prefer enthusiastic, well-satisfied partners.
I can think of two possible workarounds: they can still have fun among themselves, or they can teach their partner whenever they engage in long term relationship.
Couldn’t you make the same argument about professional basketball players? (tried to think of a professional cooperative sport, but couldn’t find any examples)
EDIT: Got one… hunting.
Would you say someone was a bad hunting partner because they are accustomed to hunting with people who know how to move silently through the forest and not give away the position, and are frustrated hunting with novices? The novice would likely enjoy the experience, since they get to pick up skills and stuff.

Good point.
