    Default such thing as pornstar famous?

    I'm very curious about getting into the porn business. I would love to be a pornstar! I think it would be a fun job. How in the world do you get started, the right way? There are a few threads on this, but there not very detailed. How much money can you REALLY make, doing porn?

    Is it really nessacary to be a size 4 blonde with implants to become famous?

    If I did porn, I would want to be huge, a star. An all or nothing thing, I guess.

    If anyone has some real info, advice, it would be greatly appriciated.

    I'm very interested in starting porn in a year. I'm taking this year for school, and to perfect my "look". But where can I read more info about getting started, and the business in general? I want to be well researched before I jump right in.

    Any books, articles, websites?

    A few facts about the 'major league' porn business

    - 90% of the business is centered near the Los Angeles CA area - if you're serious about pursuing a porn career you're most likely going to have to move to that area

    - 90% of the girls involved in the porn business do so on a very part time basis, meaning that they are working 'regular' jobs or dancing in clubs to pay the bills, with landing maybe a couple of porn roles per month to provide extra income.

    - 90% of the girls involved in the porn business have a short burst of initial success based on the 'fresh meat' syndrome, followed by rapidly declining job opportunities and rapidly declining earnings potential

    - a good portion of the 90% of the girls involved in the porn business who don't have 'regular' jobs supplement their income via 'private shows' i.e.

    The 10% of girls who are able to make a 'career' out of being a porn star typically have the following traits in common ...

    --- they have an extraordinary physical appearance both face and body (i.e. the size 4 blonde with DD implants comment a la Jenna Jamison, Brianna Banks and many others)

    --- they are willing to do club feature work, adult video store work, XXX cable work, and other promotional work which puts them on the road a lot, with time actually spent in front of a camera on a movie set being miniscule in comparison


    and offer lots of info.

    Since the advent of Viagra (meaning that any guy can now 'perform on cue'), there are really only two practical avenues open to new male talent

    A. Knee-slapping proportions, or

    B. Buying into/investing in a xxx video business, so that you have some 'leverage' during the casting process

    If you want to be a porn star for the money, please reconsider because there are easier and less compromising ways.

    Another often not discussed fact is that just about everyone in the porn industry has genital herpes and genital warts. And if you go into this industry, you will too. Sorry for being blunt but I just want you to go into this with open eyes. There is nothing worse than not being aware of certain issues and making decisions without all the facts.

    Ive seen this topic here but waited for a second to respond. Knowing youre an adult you can make great decisions for yourself. Ill just say once you do you can never go back. Your stuff is out there forever and not just a few years......decades.

    http://www.glamourmodels.com << big site and it has forums for adult models of all kinds. Mostly video work like youre looking for.

    Yes, you can make alot but like Melonie said most dont work everyday. Like dancing having a good busines plan, financial plan and CPA can help alot. Good you want to know everything about it before jumping in. Dont forget to get papers and get paid upfront cash.

    Does this go triple for the girls who enter the industry starting out with crazy stuff like all anal gangbangs and double penetration, or girls who will literally do anything? Is the moral of that example to build yourself up slowly and wait till you can command your options?

    Oh, so they only test you for the deadly uncurables like AIDS? Do people have to reschedule around their herpes outbreaks? Oh damn, genital warts are nasty. They may seem like nothing more than a pain, but they can lead to cervical cancer and require a hysterectomy. I know a chick who lost her uterus at age 19 from cervical cancer due to sleeping around so much.

    I always feel bad when I watch ameteur porn, b/c you know that most of these girls are too naive to know that they're being exploited (Max Hardcore deserves to be drawn and quartered for this reason). The more extreme the sex, and the more into it they are (making out with the guys, licking ass, etc), the more they're trying to please and the more likely they're going to get gypped. Gonzo porn (where the guy interviews the nervous-looking girl) makes me thing of, "Hello little girl, do you want some candy?" I don't mind my bf watching porn (I like it too!) but I asked him not to watch ameteur or debutante porn for the aforementioned reasons. I prefer watching the bigger stars b/c it's not as tacky, the sets are clean, the music isn't as cheesy, ass zits are covered up, there's no 5 o'clock shadow down there, and the girls probably know what they're doing.

    I'm not trying to discourage you from porn, it's a potential goldmine and Asia Carrera is my hero, but please be careful. Good luck with your quest to the top!

    One more thing: The Male Porn Star Test. Recruit 10 random guys off the street to come sit in your living room. Turn up the heat, turn on all the lights, and have all the guys stare at you and yell rude commands, and think about an anal scene getting messy or a girl starting her period. If you can pop a boner with no outside help like magazines or jerking off, then maybe you can make it into porn. A gay friend of mine who earned his tuition doing porn told me this.

    Herpes is really, really common -- no exact figures exist, but between 25% and 60% of people have it, most of them are asymptomatic. HPV is the same -- 20% of people have it, most of them are asymptomatic. Testing for these when no symptoms are present is really tricky and expensive.

    Oh, and I mean sexually active people in general -- not just porn people.

    I'm curious about this too. What's the best way to get started in the business? How the hell do you know who to trust?

    I want to be famous, damn it! Lol.

    They need a "Porn Business for Dummies" book.

    I plan on being very very careful. I want to do this the smartest way possible, and plan on doing obscene amounts of research.

    I would read jenna jameson's book and christy canyon's book. Although Jenna is an exceptional case because she is a goddess....but she has a guide in there for future-wannabe porn stars. Good luck. Be safe.

    Another website you may want to check out is:

    www.sexyjobs.com

    I use that site for modeling type stuff, but the vast majority of job offers I get are from people interested in video shoots.

    I would point out that porn videos underwent a major change in 'status' as a result of the widespread introduction of XXX cable TV and XXX satellite TV in the mid to late 90's. The effect was to remove the necessity of a would-be porn viewer having to go to a video rental store or adult emporium to partake of porn. This change brought a huge group of new customers to the XXX world ... basically 'normal' middle and upper class guys who like all guys are interested in XXX to some degree, but who previously avoided the potential embarrassment factor of dealing with the Adult Room at video rental stores and/or being seen at Adult Emporiums. The 'upscale' standards of these new middle and upper class guys, who were more interested in seeing absolutely stunning girls having semi-normal sex (as opposed to previous porn lovers who are more interested in average girls doing kinky/outrageous stuff) immediately created a huge demand for 'supermodel' porn girls such as Jenna and Brianna.

    My point of course can be stated as 'that was then - this is now'. In other words, today there are 100's of girls who are ready and willing to fill the basic requirements for 'upscale' porn roles. This means that there is essentially NO CHANCE that video producers would ever make the sorts of deals with a new porn actress today that they made with Jenna and Brianna, when a huge new demand for 'upscale' XXX videos essentially came out of nowhere while the available 'upscale' porn actresses could be counted on one hand.

    Yes a new porn actress who is very beautiful and who wants to limit herself to 'normal' sex on camera can probably get a few major roles with paychecks in the few thousand dollar range. However once that first round of videos are released and that new actress becomes a 'known commodity', in order to get recurring roles (versus the video producer using another new girl instead) it will be necessary for that actress to go farther in the way of kinky/outrageous sex. However, once those second round of videos are released that actress has basically been seen doing every type of sex imaginable, this leaves her with little additional to offer video producers or XXX customers, thus making it very difficult to continue to obtain XXX roles. At this point, girls usually must settle for occasional 'second fiddle' XXX roles with paychecks in the hundreds of dollars versus thousands.

    Thank you to Melonie for posting that- that is why I would not bother with porn.

    I didn't want to say anything, but I met a man who told me Jenna Jameson's stratopheric rise to fame had a lot to do with her father's "connections" and not just her fabulousness. Basically, the world runs in small circles. And the industry preys on young girl who think they can be the next Jenna or Brianna, etc. Fifty years ago girls flocked to Hollywood to be like Marilyn Monroe. Same thing, different era.

    PS My brother met Nikki Dial in LV and he said she played her "porn stardom" off like it was no big thing- methinks she's a girl smart enough to realize what the biz is all about.

    It was better in the 80s, even if they weren't usually gorgeous. It often actually seemed to be fun for them. And the 'profession' was at least approachable by only slightly out-there people. Then the closest to 'outrageous' were seldom seen activities like double penetrations and cumming in her mouth.

    Now, well, I don't even know how to describe it, but much of the online stuff seems to be an avenue for degrading and masochism. Seems like a very hazardous occupation with the preponderance of anal activity. Lots of the current CDs I see reviews of (RAME) online often include activities that seem sort of outrageous. And I suppose some are already jaded by that. <shiver>

    I think the process of earning lots of money by exchanging orgasms is not so much fun.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    ^Yeah, porn is so mainstream that one has to either be able to take multiple cocks or be some kind of goddess. Nowadays, anyone with a webcam, a paypal account, and a PO Box can be a porn star of some degree.

    Also: remember Lara Roxx , Miss Arroyo, Darren James, and the other porn stars who got HIV and had the AVN shut down temporarily. It started when Darren James did an unprotected anal scene in Brazil with infected porn star Bianca Biaggi (had fake papers). James flew back to the USA to film Split That Booty 2. Roxx did an double anal penetration scene with James and another man, catching the virus. A few other caught HIV through the other stars. Roxx's career ended three months after she entered the business. She thought that the monthly HIV tests with 2 forms of ID would ensure her safety. It didn't.
