Every man in the history of maledom has, at some point in their lives, considered the pros and cons of becoming a male porn star. Most of the benefits are quite obvious from the onset but there are also a few gems most people do not consider, as well as a subtle few disadvantages that should be well thought out. Having sex with many gorgeous women, no strings attached, and the hundreds of dollars that a male star can make per scene win over most anyone’s set of cons. Becoming a male porn star isn’t as hard as one might assume, especially those with a select few personal traits. There are, however, a few steps that cannot be overlooked.
Obviously, porn is a very visual art. While the dialog, sound effects and musical soundtrack certainly add a richer dimension to pornographic films, it is what the viewer sees that is the real catch. Have you ever noticed how gorgeous everyone is in porn movies? Have you noticed the men are all as manicures, waxed and tanned as the women? They are usually much more well-endowed than the average joe as well. No one really wants to see two middle-aged, overweight, untoned couple going at it. Most of us can see that right in our own bedrooms. Porn is about a gorgeous fantasy and the male stars in each film play a large part in that fantasy. Being a naturally handsome man will go a long way to helping you get started in the porn business. Having a muscled body, chiseled features and a large penis as well will most surely take you to the screen. While you can’t argue that a man with a perfect physique would have a better chance at becoming a porn star than a homelier guy, it’s worth it to point out that isn’t always the case. Everyone knows a guy that just attracts women. He isn’t particularly handsome or strong or funny but has a certain trait that, inexplicably, women find attractive. The same is true for porn. Not all porn star men are perfect. Some are regular guys with that magic trait that drives women wild. There is hope for the average Joe!
Just like any job, you’ll need to give a great reason why you are the best man for the job. Spend the money to get some professional modeling photographs taken. Create a portfolio for yourself. It should contain your photos as well as a resume or CV and a business card. If you have any relevant experience, be sure to list it. Once you have the perfect package, start showing it off. Send it to adult staffing agencies, video producers and magazines. You could fit someone’s bill exactly and get a job immediately. If not, you may have to beat the pavement and actually go to some of the adult industry businesses. Try your hand at local auditions for amateur adult films that are easier to get and can go quickly on the resume.
The disadvantages of being a male porn star vary greatly depending on the person in question. What may seem like a disadvantage to some in this industry can be a great boon to someone else. There are interviews galore with male porn stars who feel the toughest part of their job is getting and staying erect for so long a period at once and so frequently. For some this could be done easily. For others, it can be difficult to do. It sounds like a dream job but it can be a nightmare and quite a surprise for the man who thinks he can do it but finds out he cannot. It isn’t as easy as it looks. Consider the fact that you may be one of those unlucky gentleman who just can’t perform under pressure. Be prepared to face the fact that you can’t live that dream and be able to move on to the next. It can also be a problem for some porn workers to get into a serious relationship. It’s hard for women to enter into a relationship with a man who has sex with gorgeous women every day for a living. It’s even harder to forge a relationship with a co-worker who knows what life in the adult industry is like. Some consider the hours and pay a disadvantage as well. The scenes sometimes take hours to shoot and pay up to $300 for a beginner.
The path to becoming a porn star is a rocky one, riddled with slammed doors and negative responses but it can also be a dream of lifetime fulfilled for the lucky few. So go ahead, give it a try. You could be that next porn super star.
