Can't say i have one, on the whole I don't find porn that appealing, i like to watch sex yes, but porn kinda gets boring. I much rather amateur over pron stars anyday.
I was surprised that people actually remember names.
To be honest, me too. I don't even know the names of any performers in my porn.

Are you talking about grammatical editing, or content editing?
When it comes to grammatical editing, I self-edit. Since I write all my stories in Word or Libre Office, I have spelling and grammar lines come up. I realize it's not going to work for all situations (for example, the wrong usage of to/too/two), but I do my best to watch as I write, and I comb through my stories as best as I can. (There are people out in the world that could use a professional editor; in fact, I know/knew some personally.)
Content-wise, I'd have to say that I prefer having other people look over it, and I make the actual changes. This allows me to check my story for consistency. I find that I get a little complacent with my story, and I don't recognize elements of my story that are more unbelievable. For example, there was a story I wrote for a fiction workshop class where a reader commented that the actions of my protagonist and his antagonist weren't quite believable. This allowed me to see that I needed a rewrite. Of course, I've gotten some bad advice as well. Once, I called a story "Strangers in the Night," and got some bad feedback on it (Apparently, there's a song with a similar title). I was also told that the location my story was taking place was important; I didn't agree with that.

Second time's a charm, though.
