I don’t think contracting STD’s is really worth it.

Mr_M's avatar

I’ve been asked many, many times and I always say no.

AstroChuck's avatar

No. I don’t think that I’m “equipped” for such a life.

wundayatta's avatar

I don’t think I’d be able to perform with a lot of cameras watching me. I don’t care how sexy my “costar” was.

I had a 6-month run in the porn industry. Most of my friends in it escalated to escort stuff but I was fine making shitloads of money legally. It’s not half-bad. And you don’t get STD’s u NEED to get checked monthly (it’s called an AIM test) and have the papers and everything. it was quite an experience, i made a lot of money and am using it to support myself through college. i always took it as a joke because i always had a friend of mine named Laura with me for every scene, they were all b/g/g (which, for u who don’t know, if boy-girl-girl) scenes. and they paid out of the nose for us two.

It was always a little awkward, tho. I just learned to not take it seriously

Jayne's avatar

Are you insinuating that I can’t?

SpatzieLover's avatar

Hmmm…would I want to be a sperm receptacle for a living? Nope.

marinelife's avatar

Would I want my body used by people who were going to make a lot of money off of my effort in an industry in which the incidence of drug and alcohol addiction of performers is huge? No, thank, I’ll pass.

syz's avatar

Nope.

AstroChuck's avatar

What would be the point of being in pornographic movies nowadays? Nobody owns a pornograph anymore.

MCBeat's avatar

astrochuck, no one calls it a pornograph anympre =P

Bluefreedom's avatar

Definitely not. And for reasons other than ‘I’m not equipped for it’ because I am.

@Marina Don’t become a doctor then.

augustlan's avatar

I wouldn’t, but it’s ok with me if other people want to.

aprilsimnel's avatar

No. I’m not even emotionally capable of one night stands, so something like porn would be utterly inconceivable for me.

aviona's avatar

I have to say in the movie Closer, Natalie Portman, makes me want to be a stripper…

not exactly a porn star…

@MCBeat : Ummm “Shitloads of Money”? Can you tell us what shitloads are?

Second: I would want to be in a porn but i wouldnot want to be a star.

La_chica_gomela's avatar

I would be a porn director. It’s actually pretty much my dream job. I spend a lot of time um thinking (cough) about my awesome ideas for when I become a porn director. It’s Alternate-Universe-Carmen’s career, and she’s really good at it.

marinelife's avatar

@tinyfaery Doctors bodies are not used sexually.

La_chica_gomela's avatar

@MCBeat – how did you get started in the industry? I’m just curious. Did someone approach you with an offer you couldn’t turn down? Or did you decide to go for it, and seek out opportunities to do it? Are there ads in the paper for this? I’ve just always had a lot of curiosity—not for myself, you know, for alter-ego Carmen’s sake.

tinyfaery's avatar

@Marina You said “Would I want my body used by people who were going to make a lot of money off of my effort in an industry in which the incidence of drug and alcohol addiction of performers is huge?” This describes not only doctors, but many professions.

casheroo's avatar

No. I can’t imagine ever being desperate enough to do it. I’m not saying everyone that is a porn star is desperate..but for me, it would come down to desperation.

cookieman's avatar

I can imagine my first flick now..“Hung Like a Gerbil, the Movie”

Hmm – probably not.

I did porn with one of my close girlfriends with at all times, because I felt without her there it’d feel more personal, and with her there we had fun, and since we were most guys’ fantasy (2 girls and a guy), we got paid A LOT. 1,000 for a 15-minute scene for both of us? Or we’d a bj scene for $700. Our agent only got 10%. I got into it by applying onto sexyjobs.com once when I was drunk without knowing it was a porn site, I thought it was for modeling. I got a ton of offers and decided to do one that was being shot locally. So, I went, shot it, got my money. Then, in the biggest coincidence ever, I was walking down the street by a popular beach with some friends and there were all these black guys in a car whistling at me because I was wearing a pretty short dress that was super-tight and kinda see-through. They ended up working for Bang Bros., which I didn’t know at the time was a huge porn company. They paid for me and my friend to go to Miami for just a week, and we shot like 4 porns a day. We got $14,000 dollars. It was a short run, but I’m glad I did it, and glad I got out when I did.

MCBeat's avatar

I did it for almost 6 months.

wundayatta's avatar

@MCBeat: what kind of stories did you act in? Did you do any of those “innocent girl(s) picked up at a coffee shop and persuaded to do porn” stories? Corrupt a college kid? Sex at a party? Or were they higher production value films?

Was it easy to have sex with all these guys? Enjoyable? Or just a job? Or something you kind of had to not think about and just do, knowing you had a big payday? Or something else?

Do you worry that someone you know will see you in your films? Do you not care, anymore? Maybe estranged from family?

AstroChuck's avatar

Down, boy. Time to put the beach towel away.

wundayatta's avatar

Aw, Daaaaaaad

@Marina “Doctors bodies are not used sexually.”?
So u havent seen Grays’ Anatomy or Scrubs (heck, even House gets some once in a while ;)

rangerr's avatar

No. I’m too faithful to the person that I have sincere feelings for. I couldn’t just sex with someone like that. There’s no passion in it.
