'You have to be the Best Slut...'

If you watch a lot of porn you can certainly see the difference between the American and the European market. In European porn the girls have a very natural look to them but they also seem to go that extra mile. When I say that extra mile I mean they don't seem to care how 'slutty' they look on camera. You'll see them flicking their tongue round a cock while snarling at the lucky guy who gets to receive their attention. You'll also see them do some pretty filthy stuff on camera such as anal , rimming and consistently getting double teamed by guys. While in America a lot of the girls are just in front of the camera to make a living; I think a lot of European girls know they won't get a call back from the producer if they don't put in a decent effort.

“You realize in porn that you have got to be the best slut there is” are the words of famed Hungarian pornstar Monica Roccaforte. This may sum up the porn business in Europe and Monica would know as she was a massive star of many Italian porn films during the nineties. Her real name is Sylvia Wagner, born in Poloma, Hungary back in 1971. She graduated with honors at the University of Nevada with a degree in theatre. Monica had aspirations of being a famous actress so headed to England to chase this dream. At the age of 15 Monica was getting modelling work as well as starring in television commercials. Monica tried the traditional route to a film career at first attending numerous auditions. The first director who tried to bring her to the porn industry was Italian Mario Salieri. If you watch his films they have a very high production feel to them which shows why he would be interested in Monica. Given her theatre credentials to have that type of acting calibre in his film would make a better product.

As Monica grew into an adult she realized she had a keen interest in men; apparently it was quite a promiscuous time as well. Monica found she had a talent for making men feel good as well as entertaining. Because of this she felt the adult industry was a pretty good fit for her skill set. Salieri offered Monica a small role in his movie initially and she agreed. In 1981 Monica received the award for 'Best Actress' in the film 'Amanda by Night.'

This was followed by the CAFA Award for 'Best Supporting Role' in the picture 'Roommates.'

Monica's career started to really take off in 1996 when she was often made the main protagonist in Salieri's movies. Around this time she also received the AVN Award for 'Best Non-Sexual Performance' in the film Nylon. Such awards can only serve to demonstrate Monica's on screen talent beyond sex. Regardless of this her other accolades include a AVN Hall of Fame Induction, Legends of Erotica and XRCO Hall of Fame awarding. From a personal stand point I love the scenes she stars in. Some of the movies may be a bit too serious for some porn fans as Mario Salieri likes the stories to have a sense of realism. To me though it's definitely a better quality of porn film and puts a lot of porn producers to shame. To put it into perspective what type of movies they are it's like the stuff you see at the cinema but with all the sex included. Monica's name is not far from controversy though as she played the role of Daniela in the film 'The Confessional.'

Salieri's company was denounced for scenes in this movie which justify the vilification of the church.

In 2001 she actually retired from the porn business but made a brief return back in 2008. She was unable to mimic the success she had in the mid nineties but has went on to become a porn director and producer. She works under the pseudonym of Jane Hamilton and Monica Hart if you would like to view her work. VCA has released 40 of Monica's movies and Jim Holliday has called her 'the most hardworking woman in porn. She works with pornographer Michael Ninn producing what is said to be MTV style films. In her personal life Monica is now married and has a child.

On closing I want to give you a perspective of the type of scenes you will see Monica in; a lot are pretty taboo and not far from controversy. If you add her 'dirty' sex style it's pretty good erotic viewing. You'll see her getting double teamed, giving slutty blowjobs as well as some anal action. Despite being retired Monica's work is always worth viewing but is best watched with subtitles so you can get a full feel of the erotic nature of a scene.
