Any members with experience in porn?

How does it go? Do you get the see the girl before you arrive at the set? Talking with her, is it akward, casual? Do you still have contact with her? How much do you get paid? etc etc .. In other words: tell me as much as possible i'd love to hear some porn stories, it sounds as a dreamjob to me. (although I've red a lot of negative things about porn actors and actresses)

I've read up a bit on it myself, and will not pretend to know everything. What I do know to be at least semi factual follows:

Plan on getting at least one "non serious" STD. It's a reality of the business. I've read more than one account from actual actors who have at LEAST herpes, warts or both. Most straight porn does not use condoms, and in fact it's usually looked down on. Sure, there are the monthly screenings for the "big" STD's like HIV/AIDS, but the "non serious" STD's are just as big of a turn off for me, personally. Then again, I 'think' 1 in 3 adults has either genital warts, or the virus that causes them, or herpes, or all three. Men in straight porn make $500 average per scene. Women in straight porn make $500-$2,000 average per scene. Men who do "gay" or "gay for pay" ("straight" men who "act gay") make similar to what women do in straight porn, and it is a BIG incentive for otherwise "straight" men from what I hear. Oral sex (male/female) last I knew paid $600 average per scene. "Vanilla" sex (vaginal) for a woman pays around $800-$1,000, anal ("gay", "gay for pay" or straight) averages around $1,000 per scene. As a man in straight porn, don't count on getting much work unless you really bring something unique to the table. There's a line around the corner and down the street of men just like yourself who think they're the next "John Holmes", or "Shane Diesel". I've talked with men who actually work for companies such as "Bang Brothers" and I have heard very similar straight from them. The one guy literally struggled to get more than one scene per week and he had a "regular job" as well.

I can't confirm the rumor of "bring a girl to get your break". What if they like her and think you're a douche? LOL.

That's about all I know off the top of my head.

Interesting .. Those little STD's are too me as worse as those big STD's .. Do you know anything on supplements male pornstars use etc? I'd love to know all the secrets ..

How about the interactions with the girls etc .. Man I can hardly imagine how fucked up it must be for the actresses .. You're looked at as a piece of meat, you get humiliated etc etc ..

I lived in the Valley from Jan to October of 08, and managed to get in around a dozen scenes. All I will contradict about malehanger's post is that his $500 average for a scene for male performers is way too high. The absolute best I ever got paid was $325 for a scene. There may be a small handful of guys, Like James Deen, Tommy Gunn, and Manuel Ferrara that are so in demand they can charge more, but a $300 payday is a good one. You do have to have an STD test every thirty days, The usual test screens for HIV, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. HPV, the virus that causes genital warts, can be vaccinated against. It is a tough field to get into, the dudes who want to do it are a dime a dozen. And it is work. You are in fact having sex with a hottie, but you have to stop and go when the director says so. Changing positions as often as he/she wants. Someone once said if you want to be a male porn star, Have a bunch of people gather around you, and watch while you get hard, masturbate, and then cum. And those people can talk, point, and laugh at you if they want. If you can get through that, you're ready to be in porn.

Actually, all his dollar amounts are too high. A girl can get maybe $200 for a blowjob scene. Maybe, and that is if she is a known name, or very cute. As the profits have dropped off in the past couple years, business has slowed, and the money women are being offered is significantly less than it was. The women, st least if they're known, will be looked after and kept happy way more than you as male talent. She is the object, and center of the scene. You are just another "porno-cock", and as such, far more disposable and just a "piece of meat" than the girl.

Wtf? Dude where is that third hand comming from? We can see your hand on your dick,both her hands, and a third mystery hand on her tit.

[raybbaby]

That's Awesome, I had never noticed that. My guess is it belongs to Madison Ivy, who is so petite she may be invisible behind Tory. It's a female hand, so it was either Madison or London.

Dude, are you for real? I mean it makes sense what you say ofcourse and I'd love to know more .. But that third hand is really really strange .. You are sitting, and you're saying there is still someone behind you?? .. I don't buy that.

What were your experiences with the girls? How are they when there isn't a camera around ..

So you quitted porn or what? Why? I think you were doing pretty well if you get to fuck tory lane, she's well-known isn't she?

What did your parents say? Friends? That would be my biggest roadblock dissapointing my friends and family.. Masturbating in front of others would be achievable I guess ..

Do all hot pornstars (brazzers, etc.) live in the valley? I'd book me a vacation to that place spotting pornstars..

My question is do you have to audition or be the first to show up the day of shooting? Is there an application process? Tell us raybbaby some of what goes besides the f'ing...
