Many people write to ask how they can become a porn star or to produce porn. The following is an article on the topic so that this information can be shared with anyone interested.

The first thing I want to say is that we are not porn producers and do not hire porn actors so please do not contact us asking for a job. We offer only this article and a resource directory that you can purchase.

Is It Right For You?

The core issue that must first be addressed is if it is "right" for someone to do. This is certainly a choice that one should come to on their own terms. What I do recommend is that if you are considering it, you of course need to be over 18 in the USA to even contemplate it.

Timing For Making The Decision

However, beyond chronological age it is important to think about the choices that you have made in the past to make sure you are using the best judgment for this huge, often life altering decision. If you feel good about the choices you have made in the past and feel confident in your decision making skills and maturity level then perhaps you are in a "good place" to make the best choice now.

However, if you look back on your life with mountains of regret and feel that many of your choices ended up backfiring, perhaps it is not a good time to make this decision and a better time for you to do some heavy soul searching to first address why you have made unhealthy decisions in the past; address those issues and then revisit this decision.

The porn industry is a business and the actors or "talent" in it are often not provided with much consideration. Unless one becomes an "A-list" actor then most often the money is not much and you are asked to perform much more intense sexual acts like double anal penetration and group sex.

It may be a better choice to try and volunteer as an assistant or "Fluffer" before you dive in the deep end. For those of you who don't know, a "Fluffer" is someone who stimulates the actors (mainly males) to aid them in maintaining their erection for scenes.

You should also know that most likely you will be asked to perform with both sexes so those who are homophobic may want to think this through more carefully.

Also remember that most likely your family and friends will find out about it and it may impact your ability to get a job in the future. We all know about Vanessa Williams and her Playboy fiasco... just think what a potential boss for an public relations or grade school teacher will think if they find out about your porn history.

If you have or plan on having kids you need to take into consideration that while you may be able to explain to them what you do as a good choice for you, the other parents, teachers and kids may not and your child may have to face the stigma of their parent being a porn actor.

Understand Images Are Forever

Once you are captured on film your work is there for all the world to see and will remain available should the distributor choose. Even if your video is discontinued it will still be out there and may even become pirated and viewable illegally. Not only that but the pictures promoting the film may not only be used by the distributors but may be easily copied by anyone who visits the web sites selling them.

You will always run the risk of someday having a friend or family member and/or employer seeing your photo or video. Will you be able to handle their reaction? Read about what happened with us for simply becoming sex educators in our article- Risks Of Working In Sexual Health

Be Current In Testing For STDs

When you show up on a set you will be asked for your HIV test and (possibly) for more STD test paperwork. Don't show up without them and keep them current. Thirty days is the current requirement. Don't work with anyone who has old paperwork or who "forgot their papers." It's your health at stake.

Have Your Proper Identification

When you show up on a set you will be asked for at least TWO forms of photo identification. Don't leave home without them. The industry is required by Federal law to have a photo copy of your ID on file. You will be required to "slate" for the camera holding your ID. You will most likely be sent home, unpaid, for not having your ID with you.

Have Good Personal Hygiene

Bathe, douche, keep your hair clean and trim. Keep your nails manicured and above all, see your dentist regularly. Your smile has to be captured. Close-ups during oral sex scenes will pick up improper tooth care. Don't let decay, chips and yellowing keep you from getting work.

When you are on a set, freshen up between sex scenes. You'll also want the performer you're working with to do the same. Take the first step and be as fresh as you want him (or her) to be.

Be Punctual & Quick To Perform The Way You Are Asked To

Once you commit to a time, place and project, get there early. Remember, you are not the only person scheduled to be there. In a video you have your co-stars, the gaffers, the camera crew, the makeup crew, the wardrobe people, the director. If they can make it to the set on schedule, so can you.

If you blow off a shoot, or arrive very late, you will develop a deserved reputation for being unreliable. An agent you use will not want to risk recommending you as they too have a reputation to protect.

That will lead to less work, because time is money and the producer will still have to pay everybody for waiting for you. One of the best ways to be on time is to have your own reliable form of transportation. That is especially true in Los Angeles where over 80% of adult videos are made and where public transportation is more of a nuisance than a blessing.

Don't depend on anyone but yourself to get you to the set on time. "My ride was late" is not considered an acceptable excuse. Also, don't go out partying the night before a shoot. You want to look fresh and have your energy level up. Sleeping through an alarm clock is also considered unacceptable.

You Are Being Paid To Be Cooperative

Remember that the screenwriter, producer and director have hired you to do a project that they envision. Most of them have spent hours developing a project that you could ruin in minutes by being uncooperative. Although most film-makers will listen to constructive criticism, or ask for some creative input, be very tactful and never forget that they are paying you to be in their project, not the opposite. Also be courteous, friendly and respectful of your co-workers. Prima donna attitudes are not tolerated easily.

Do Only The Sex Acts You Want To

When you interview/audition for a part in a video, always ask what sex acts you need to perform in the project. If you have an aversion to a specific act, say so at the time and turn down the role.

An example of this would be, if you are asked to be in a video called "Ass Attack," and you dislike anal sex, don't accept the job. Do your homework. If you are an actress who doesn't like to perform with women, a title such as "No Man's Land" is definitely not for you.

Do not wait until you are on a set to bow out of a scene. Time is money to the producer. Let him know before you are hired what or who you will not do. The only exception not to go through with a scene that you agreed in advance to do is the lack of proper HIV test papers by your partner.

Don't Perform Free Samples On A Producer

You do not have to go the "casting couch" route to get a job. Most of the legit agents, casting agents, directors and producers are not required to get HIV tests done. You are hired on the basis of your talent, appearance, reputation and availability. Having free sex to get a part does not guarantee you the job.

Don't Sign The Model Release Form Until You Have Payment

We shouldn't have to explain this one, but you would be very surprised to learn how many actresses have fallen for such lines as "I forgot my checkbook, come back tomorrow." The producer can't sell the footage until after has the model release, don't give him one until you've been paid.

Be Loyal To Your Original Agent

This is the person that helps your career with advice, contacts with companies, gets you the auditions, books your road trips and gives you a shoulder to cry on. Do not back stab them or treat them badly. Treat your agent as you want him to treat you.
