I do clothed/topless fetish vids and make what some of the local solo and G/G rates are.
Same here Harleigh. Worldwide was willing to pay for all my expenses while in Cali. I told them I wanted to do G/G only and he said "Well you won't make the big bucks but I can see what I can do".. That alone was a downer..pretty much what made me say hell no! I feel safer fuckin myself online and getting paid for it. At least If I put a vid of me fucking myself or someone else online I'd get paid EVERY TIME that vid was bought right?
To each their own!

I wish there was a such thing as royalties in porn! That would make it so much more worthwhile.

Most of the modeling I've done is very tame, Playboy type stuff, but I did do a hardcore porn video along with several softcore videos. So far it hasn't showed up, but what if it did? This is something I never realized until I quit the business (I still do a party here and there and sometimes model).
Kelly, What are the odds of someone noticing you on one vid? Very slim. I wouldn't worry about one scene if I were you. I have had people pretty much accuse me of doing porn because they saw someone that "kinda" looked like me lol. There are porn stars that WANT to be recognized... but think about it.. why do you think a lot of porn stars quit porn and become escorts and charge insane amounts of cash an hour? C'mon .. uh a guaranteed $1000 an hour for sex with a client in PRIVATE and a guaranteed 500 to have sex on film where you will be seen by millions? Shit I'll take the 1k..
I just don't want to be recognized. If I'm going to be known as "Annaxxx" my whole life I better be sitting on ridiculous amounts of money.

I usually don't worry because so far it's never showed up (and I believe the company went bankrupt ten years ago so it was never on dvd). It's something I didn't think about then but do now because you never know. I am more worried the modeling photos will appear, but they are all tame too so I'd probably brush it aside. Actually, I think one of my former regulars recognized me awhile back but he didn't say anything (and I wasn't sure it was him either). What's going to be interesting is I am planning eventually to move to the area where I danced at three (now defunct) clubs. It will be funny if I run into customers at the store.

Kelly, I wouldn't sweat it at all. You can easily deny one. ha but if you had about 15 out there that would be a different story.
Again all power to the women that do porn...I'm convinced they love it since they're doing it with the pay being the way it is.
I've read so much shit about Jenna Jameson. How she's this and that and how she looks cracked out now bla bla bla... F all that.. She's effin smart and She's pretty much set for life!
Re: What do porn stars make?
^Yup. She made it work for her. That's what it's all about. Making whatever you do, no matter what it is, work.

That depends on how you look at it. Cost and Worth are two separate things. The Porn business is a 40 BILLION dollar a year industry. People are making money. It's just not the models. Something like 1:10,000 become the next "Jenna".
It really depends on how much your willing to do, how far you're willing to go, and most importantly - your long term plans. Can you stay clean and work it like a business? If so, your chances increased 100x. If you fall into the party & drug crowd (which is easy to do) your future potential is very very limited.
Your not gonna bank diddly on doing one or two porno's. The money isn't there. What IS there is the promotion that comes along with the movies. If they promote the hell out the movie, that's all ching "potential" to you in any private business you do (webcam, dancing, escort, etc). Your now a "porn star", which almost immediately makes you a "feature" attraction in anything else - except other movies.
However - If you sign a non-complete clause. Meaning, you can't promote yourself outside the company, you may not be able to claim your prize. (the promotion). non-compete clause might get you a higher pay rate for that one movie, but you suffer in the long term.
Re: What do porn stars make?
Malaya..you know what...I'm not going to search through everything to prove my point. i dont care that much. But you ARE saying all the cons about porn and making it look SO bad while escorting is SO much better. For YOU maybe. And you can scream and yell all you want ( and I know you will because thats just what you do)to try and make it look like you werent..but you were. Period.
I have NEVER knocked escorting...I've said why I PERSONALLY choose not to, but I've also said that I totally understand and support those who do. I dont go around saying "escorting is so gross and you have to do stuff with disgusting old men and blah blah blah' to try and justify why I didnt choose that route. Just because it isnt right for YOU doesnt mean its ok to talk shit about it. Ive been in porn for years and have never had anyone drug me or beat me or rape or what have you.
Like someone else said...saying that porn is always like that is like saying strippers are always junkies with 12 babydaddies or escorts are just whores paying a pimp or drug habit.

Yup I have said I don't understand why others do porn BECAUSE of the low pay. Yes I said it what else did I say about porn? I never said I was a fan of porn so at least I'm being consistent. I said escorting is awesome for ME. I get tons of pms everyday from girls wanting to get into escorting and I ignore it just because they're trying to get into it for the wrong reasons. Fact of the matter is escorting or porn is NOT for everyone. Why would I scream and yell? We're having a conversation and you tell me that I am knocking porn .. not right. Why don't you get on others but noooo you pick me to yell at. I have lots of pornstar friends that genuinely love what they do.. nothing wrong with that.

:) You can say what you want about what I do for a living. Think what you want hun It dosen't bother me, Money talks everything else is bull. I was never talking shit about it I just stated why I don't like porn and you're getting upset.

LOL well we're all gonna be generalized. Escorts are no better than pornstars and pornstars are no better than escorts. To the outside world (those who are not involved in the industry) we're all whores anyway. I was not dissing what you did for a living. Stating why I'm not a pornstar is not dissing porn and none of my comments except for one was directed towards you. Sure anyone can say what they want about escorts, I have a lot of RL friends on sw they'll tell you I'm the most level headed/sober/independent person they know.
Re: What do porn stars make?
Ummm, fuck the bullshit but I also think about the kids! I think about how someones ''past'' life can affect their child's ''entire'' once revealed. I know I webcam but its just me masturbating and I already have my shit together which is the fact that ''mommy made those vids for Daddy and they got stolen''! Haha! But banging different dudes in a porno scene is some other shit!
Re: What do porn stars make?
Here's my take on things. Both porn and escorting have there pros and cons. Ex) Escorting is illegal Ex) Porn is distributed all over. I have never done either. However, at points in my life I've considered both. I went a lot further with the porn. I got signed with an agency was even on there website. Got booked for my first scene went to AIM to get tested and backed out. My friend that's a porn star had her roomate print out pics of her. And, her roomate plastered them all over her little bro's school. Then, I have friends that are high end escorts in Vegas. That got set up by the hotel security for not tipping enough. It just depends which avenue works out well for you. Being a newbie for the porn I was offered $1000 for my first scene. And, it was b/g. I think it was a. vivid movie, that featured first timers making porn debuts. Pay would have been $1500 for anal.I actually wanted to only do g/g. So I opted out, and with escorting. I didn't know exactly how to get started so I backed out of that too. My escort friends told me not to work with an agency.

WOW.
How did hotel security know they were escorts? I have never even ran into hotel security.. ever! I never worry when I do incalls at hotels because it's a lot safer. The only thing I'm worried about is stealing towels from the maids when I do incalls. That's the most bizzare thing i've heard. This was a 5 star hotel? When I do incalls I dress like a soccer mom.. I don't wear provacative clothing at all. I'm rocking jeans, tshirt and a baseball cap ..ha! Just because you're an escort dosen't mean you have to look like a hooker.
This is one of the reasons why I 1.) Don't use priceline to book my hotels (because they keep an eye on those rooms 2.) Don't stay in one room too long.. like one room for more than 4 days because I'm hella paranoid. A bit of paranoia has taken me FAR in this business. Yes do not go with an agency. I used to work with a VIP agency and though I got VIP clientele .. some of the clients weren't always... ummm.. sober.. which I did NOT Like. I have made it clear that being intoxicated would result into the date being teminated. Another thing about working with an agency is if it's a REAL VIP agency they take a big chunk so the best thing is to go indy and charge whatever you want.
Escorting is not illegal.. prostitution is .. but EVERYONE knows that loophole and some (like myself) use that fact to their advantage big time and avoid getting busted.. *knocks on wood* Screening will pretty much save your ass 97% of the time. (if you choose to go the mid-range/high end route) Low end route you're on your own buddy.. c'mon if you're charging 100-200 an hour.. do you know what type of clients you'd get...?yuck!
I know lots of pornstarts that make a KILLING escorting.. I mean mad bank and I'm like damn maybe I should go into porn just for the credits then the whole too much exposure thing makes me go nahhhh ...
........
................
. ........ I'm still stuck on hotel security knowing they were escorts being that prostitution is not legal in vegas at all. Why anyone would make that known is just like wow!
P.S I was thinking about touring vegas now you've totally changed my mind. LOL
Re: What do porn stars make?
I'm not quite clear on the exact details. But, in Vegas the cops are extremely corrupt. I've been in Vegas, dressed in a tank and jeans and security will ask for my information. My understanding, is that they were blackmailed so they began tipping the hotel security. Not, to bust them. And, the amounts got ridiculous. When they declined, they called Metro. And ended up at CCDC.

Very interesting my dear.
Very very interesting. That is just horrid!
Yeah sounds like there are some missing details for sure. You should find out I'd like to know more if they're willing to tell you what really happened. I've heard about girls get busted for pretty much answering questions about sex and how much they'll accept for certain acts (usually clueless newbies) for but not this.
Re: What do porn stars make?
I've only danced in Vegas and I must admit that that place made me uncomfortable when going about around town site seeing. Any of the nice hotels and casinos treat every attractive woman as an escort. The guards and security practically stalk you from the moment you walk into the place. I know that prostitution is legal there but I don't like the way they treat ''every'' woman as a working girl. Vegas is rude in my opinion and dangerous grounds for independent escorts that are not agency represented. Vegas is very territorial!

Thanks for this Devon. Now I REALLY won't be going to vegas. This makes my stomach turn. Prostitution is not legal in Las Vegas.. it is Legal in Carson City (This is where the bunny ranch is located) which is 8 hours from Vegas and even in Carson city there have strict restrictions and it is illegal to work outside of a brothel. I see how Vegas can be profitable but fuck all that shit. Who wants to get harassed just for being pretty. I guess my baseball hat and t shirt won't work. That really fucking sucks!
