I get a lot of emails from males who are interested in breaking into the adult industry as an actor. These emails go typically like this: "Hi, I am just wondering how I can be a porn star because I like to fuck and I like money, HAHAHAHA."
Okay then.
Generally, it is much easier for females to get into porn than males, especially straight male porn. The simple answer is that if you want to make the quick and easy money, you should become gay if you aren't already. Otherwise, you're pretty much screwed.
However, should you be one of the elusive and elite few who believe that they are ready for the big bucks in straight male porn, here's how to go about it.
I'm not going to lie: This is the harsh and brutal, and somewhat humorous truth.
It is fairly mandatory that you have a sizable penis. If you don't have a large penis, you may still have a chance, but its much more unlikely. While there are ways to naturally enhance your size, they're fairly unpleasant, unreliable, and have gross long-term side effects (like scarring, weird lumps, that sorta thing.)
Next, you need to have excellent control and good athletic endurance. In the mainstream porn industry, you need to be able to get it up under any condition, keep it up, fuck for hours at a time, stop when requested, and cum within 10 seconds of the director giving you an order. ... While you may consider this an easy task now, imagine that you are in a room filled with bright lights and camera equipment, 15-20 loud noisy and unattractive film crew members, about to fuck a chick who is incredibly unattractive to you, while a director yells bizarre orders about changing positions and tells you the exact moment to cum.... no room for "oops" or "it's not working" in this setting!
A professional should be able to perform under these conditions.... and deal with such comments as, "Have you lost weight? Is that a herpes blister, or is that razor burn? Jesus, your hair looks terrible like that. Christ, look at that ugly creature of a cock, can't you DO something about that thing?"
Now, keep in mind, before you even get a chance on camera, you need AIM testing: the industry standard HIV test. You'll have to pay the doctor's fees to get blood drawn, sent away to the AIM labs, and tested. This will cost you a pretty penny, and if you get the job, you're gonna have to keep tested every 6 months or some companies even require 30 days -- yeesh!
So. You're a fucking machine, you have a huge dick, you have amazing control, and you've shelled out more money on an STD test than you've ever spent on any medical bill in your life -- prepare for the fun challenge: BREAKING INTO THE INDUSTRY.
Haha. To start with, you will probably need to take a bunch of free jobs. Pick a stage name, make sure that everyone knows who you are, and that you are credited in the film. After about 30-50 of these free jobs, you may be able to start insisting on financial reimbursement for your scenes... Who knows? Keep copies of this footage to show other producers.
Another possibility is to pair up with an incredibly attractive female and have her insist on doing porn only with you. This will force the producers and directors around you, who may have interest in your incredibly attractive partner, to reckon with you and your mighty sexin'z.
...All in all, I'd say you'd do better to resign yourself to doing it occasionally as a hobby or becoming gay. Good luck!
