How Do You Become a Gay Porn Star?
Being a porn star must be such an exciting job! Imagine getting paid to fuck all day long like Masyn Thorne?
However, the reality can be more complex. First off, you must pass a background check and undergo STD tests – this is particularly crucial since you will be sharing your genitalia with other performers.
1. Find a Producer
Gay porn performers need to be adept at getting hard and cuming on command quickly and reliably, and there’s often not much room for improvisation in game plans and lists of poses they need to complete; therefore, male performers with dicks over 5 inches tend to be preferred by producers.
Locating an agent should also be part of your plan. Look for someone with experience working within the industry; ideally someone recognizable by you personally would be ideal; otherwise experience with other current porn stars may provide more clues as to their abilities to assist you in getting started.
Finally, it is essential that you are mindful of the demands of the job and realize that some aspects could potentially offend some people. If this is something that displeases you, gay porn may not be for you; plus it’s no easy career – even the highest paid male performers make only $100,000 annually!
2. Get a Website
Porn stars don’t make much money; even the biggest names in gay porn only earn between $500-$1,000 a scene; that adds up quickly over 10 scenes a month. Smart porn stars supplement their salaries through personal websites, DVDs, appearances, merchandise sales and sometimes escorting clients.
Yet even the smartest performers don’t make anywhere near $100,000 annually – and that includes famous porn stars. Average performers make much less and rarely fall within the top 10% of producers.
But that’s exactly why male pornstars are so compelling to watch: it takes great guts and determination to gag up fellow males’ boners, get handsy with mane asses or lick tight cockholes without fearing they may cause offense – and that makes the phenomenon all the more compelling to observe. Becoming a male pornstar may not be something Joey from Friends would boast about to his mother but can be life-altering experience for those fortunate enough to make it work; now there are more avenues than ever for those interested – with sites offering fast setup of adult websites quickly and affordably
3. Get a Twitter Account
Becoming a gay porn star might seem like the ultimate fantasy job: being paid to sexually explore others all day long sounds amazing – yet the industry is flooded with free content, leading to declining performer rates.
But pornography doesn’t have to be all bad, according to many performers. Some actors claim that acting in porn has helped them build confidence and improve social skills while others use pornography as a way of destigmatizing homosexual sex in countries where governments actively suppress queer citizens.
Of course, the benefits are obvious: many kinky images and videos are often captivatingly sexual, which makes it hard to resist them even if you don’t care for the content itself. With 6Buses’ free video downloader you can save all your favorites for safekeeping on your phone; share them with family and friends who will surely appreciate your taste in porn.
4. Get a Facebook Page
As content becomes more abundant and free, porn stars no longer make what they once did. A rough estimate indicates that unknown female performers could earn around $500/scene while unknown male performers may receive up to $200 (although rates may be higher for more extreme or well-known models).
Adult industry actors do not belong to an umbrella union like SAG-AFTRA; however, some actors belong to smaller associations like 56 Dean Street and Terrence Higgins Trust that work to promote sexual health and HIV prevention among performers.
Hans emphasizes the significance of performers upholding their integrity as performers. “It can be challenging for actors with low self-esteem to perform well; you’re performing for money after all; losing one’s sense of worth could significantly impede performance.
Though some performers choose to keep their sexual orientation hidden from others, many don’t find the industry too impactful on their personal lives – Luke currently has a girlfriend while Ben (who also acts in man-on-man porn) is married and has children.
5. Get a Blog
If you’re like many, being a porn star might seem like the dream job – after all, who wouldn’t want paid to f**k all day long?! However, is being paid to do what seems like fun work really enough to support their lifestyle?
Reality, however, differs drastically from that assumption. While wages for unknown female performers typically range from around $500 per scene and $400 for unknown male actors – hardly rich earnings considering the median household income in America is around $51,000!
Diesel Washington, an experienced performer in gay porn, believes a lack of studio sensitivity towards racism is another major issue in gay porn. Over his ten-year performing career he claims that no studio ever removed content featuring racist models with “preferences.”
Social media and industry blogs have made such preferences publicized to such an extent that studios no longer can prevaricate and hide from them; hopefully this should prevent discriminatory actions like those shown against Cameron Diggs.
