What do you think stops the average guy from pursuing a career in porn?

I'm seriously thinking about a career change.

Mixing business with pleasure is a sticky wicket.

Let's assume that's not a problem. Well, at least not the small dick part.

'Attractive' doesn't seem to be an issue.

No, they aren't. They're looking for guys who are in decent shape, are professional and can cum on demand.

You think the pay will be good?

How many years can you work in that industry?

You have to consider these carefully before you make a decision.

Good luck for you average dick, anyway.

The money seems to be good. As long as you stay in shape and can perform you can work for a long time. Of course the real money is in starting your own website.

Well, if that is your own body in your AV, I'd say you were a good candidate.

I've been in this industry for 30 years or so and I'm telling ya, there is no money in porn. Not anymore.

The good money-rollin' times are over there. Right down to us retailers.

My best advice for somebody with your awesome, buff bod would be....educate yourself in nutrition and herbal therapies.

With a baby boomer generation reaching older age, there is going to be an explosion in the medical/health profession.

I am telling ANYBODY young I know to get into these fields. seriously.

Sounds great!

Do you think a below-than-average Chinese guy should consider it too?

Asians are known for having a smaller size of penis. Thats why you don't see a whole lot of Asians in porn.



Chyna in porn is something completely different though.

It's me in the picture.

What did you do in the adult industry?

I've thought about going into some kind of health related field. It's a growing industry here. It would be nice if I could get paid to workout.

Well, for starters, husband's dad got into the porn industry back in the early 70's He knew all the players in Hollywood back then.

He had opened a couple of porn stores by the time my husband retired from the Army back in the mid-seventies.

Dad-in-law had stores in San Antonio. He talked husband into opening stores here in Austin, Tx.

Many hilarious stories later and many friendships made during trips to LA feathered husbands nest of stories to include parties with John Holmes, Serena, Seka, Gloria Leonard, Hypathia Lee, Marilyn Chambers...these were only some of the old 70's folks.

We are still in the retail end of this biz. After about 30 years of killer biz, it's starting to die. The internet is killing it. Most of what we used to sell is now free on the internet.

We've ramped up our toy sales which seems to be holding strong but otherwise, the biz is slowly dying. Timing is good for us I suppose as we had planned on retiring soon anyway.

Sgt, I would seriously suggest taking classes on nutrition and fitness. There will definitely be a need for these professionals in the near future.

Best of luck to you!

For me, performance porn has been replaced by exhibitionism. There is nothing more exciting than participating in the exhibitionist's excitement. By viewing, by being aroused, I am completing the subject's intent more intimately than I am by buying a porn Production.

What I want from the porn industry now is what the exhibitionist can not give me. I'm not sure what that is but I suspect I'd be drawn by a more complex narrative. I don't know, I don't know, but I suspect that the supremacy of exhibitionism presents an interesting challenge.

Find a woman partner and open up an amateur porn website, do some kinky stuff and you're off to the races.

and be willing and able to fuck on camera while maintaining an erection and possess the ability to fuck people you may not like at all on any level while sober for a couple hundred bucks.

unless you are willing to do gay porn. then you get paid considerably more. not life changing money, but a helluvalot better than a two to four hundred bucks. you also have to be able to listen to direction and do what they fucking tell you to do because you aren't fucking for your pleasure and it isn't about you.

at all.
