What you should know about working as a porn actor

If you are looking for an adult job, it makes sense to first understand some details of the profession. This will help you find the most reliable option and understand exactly whether such a job suits you.

Peculiarities of the porn actor profession

Most scenes are shot in uncomfortable poses. You have to create a comfortable approach for the camera, but it gets in the way of the movements. It’s almost impossible to enjoy it. There are constant instructions – how to move, how to stand up. A steady erection should also be in non-standard situations, for example, when touching the scrotum of another man. During group fondling, it is often necessary to touch other than the woman, and in a heterosexual orientation this can be a problem. 

Orgasms are a separate part of the film and are filmed on command. It is important to finish according to certain instructions, and the process must not be delayed in order for the scene to succeed. It sometimes takes years to learn this. And marksmanship is also very important, because it is agreed in advance where the sperm should go.

How much you can get?

Men who want to star in porn, much more than women. And they are not the center of the action. That is why their salary is 2-3 times less than that of the main character. A day of filming a man can cost in the region of $500. You can go to the Czech Republic or the U.S., where it is legal to shoot porn. But a lot of people want to, and the probability of good employment is not great.  At the same time, the whole day will have to be on the set. 

The average porn salary is higher than in a factory, but the workload is much higher. And there are also big risks, like getting infected with something. Of course, actors get tested regularly, but no one gives a 100% safety guarantee. The price for porn goes up if there are non-standard situations. For example, they can offer more money for participation in a group porn. But it will only go up by 10-20%, although the shooting may be more straightforward. 

How to increase fees? You have to prove yourself. Professionalism is very highly valued. And if there is no body malfunction, if you can meet the requirements of the director, there is a chance to increase your salary. And you can also participate in non-standard scenes. Cooperating with a good agency is a plus. The company takes some of the profits, but takes care of the job search. But it is better to sign a contract with a well-known porn company. This guarantees permanent employment.
