How To Become A Pornstar

How to get into the porn industry

1000’s of people dream about making it in the adult industry but not many people know exactly how to get into porn.

This article will provide you with the first steps for making it into the porn industry and give you practical advice for booking your first job.

Consider the implications

Before you start your career you should consider the implications of becoming a porn star. Once the pictures and videos are out there, on the internet, they’re there forever.

It can change your life forever and once your friends and family know what you do for a living it can change theirs too.

Be sure to really consider the implications of becoming a porn star before you start working in the industry, and once you’re ready, tell your family.

It’s better they hear it from you than to find out from a clip on the internet.

Decide on limits

It’s important to know your limits, what you’re willing to do and not do.

You can earn more money for doing certain sex acts, such as anal, double penetration, scenes without condoms, same-sex scenes or other hardcore sex acts, however, you should be clear in your mind beforehand.

Tell the producer at first contact and stick to your decision.

Look the part

Modern porn is much more inclusive and there’s something out there for everyone.

Some producers may actually be on the lookout for a certain ‘look’ that fits their niche, but it’s worth noting that for the majority of productions this may not be the case.

You should take care of your body, take pride in your appearance and ensure you look the part.

Attend the gym, keep in good health and ensure you follow good hygiene practices, keeping yourself clean, having your hair done and looking after your skin.

Location

If you want to be in porn, you’ll increase your chances of breaking into the industry by immersing yourself in the scene.

Meeting actors, directors, agents and others involved in the industry gives you the opportunity to build links and relationships with them, potentially leading to an opportunity.

L.A is the porn capital of the world, but other locations such as Miami, also shoot a high percentage of scenes.

There’s every chance, especially as a male actor, that you may be a last minute replacement for talent that couldn’t perform.

Being IN the cities where they film gives you the chance to build your network and to be available when called upon.

Build a portfolio

Over the last few years, the internet has given rise to a few different avenues for established and up and coming performers to build their own portfolio.

Premium Snapchat accounts, X Rated Twitter profiles, and personal blog and cam sites give you the perfect opportunity to expand your profile and get experience within the industry, gaining a following of your own.

If you have a partner and someone you’re already willing to work with, this can be perfect as you can start producing content together.

It gives you the opportunity to get in front of the camera and to try new things.

Market yourself

You can’t simply rely on being the ‘new face’ as this will only last so long.

Building links and networking with others in the industry, online or face to face (again, go where the stars are) gives you an opportunity to be front of mind when producers need talent.

As a newcomer to the industry, it may not always be as easy to get your foot in the door as producers will go with the talent they know can perform (especially in the case of male actors) but that doesn’t make it impossible.

If you’re known to be a high-quality performer that can get the job done, you increase your chances of getting work

Apply for jobs in the porn industry

Finally, apply for jobs and go hunting for work.

Don’t go straight for the big companies such as Penthouse, Playboy or Hustler. These are for the pros and as an amateur, you’ll need to pay your dues first.

But if you’ve been following the steps above, you’ll already have an idea of the industry, if you’re a good fit and how people react to you. Once you’re ready, every aspiring star should be prepared for getting work. Ensure you have pictures, clothed and nude, from the front and from the side. These should be clear pictures in good lighting and it goes without saying that the pictures should be relatively recent. For male performers, producers will want the same images, including when the penis is erect and when it’s not.

It’s also good practice to have a short video that you can send along with your images.

For males these should highlight your body, your penis becoming erect and then you masturbating to ejaculation.

For females, the video should show you clothed and (sexily) undressing before masturbation. You should demonstrate what it would be like for you to experience an extreme orgasm (even if you’re not having one).

Conclusion

The porn industry is a great way to have fun while making good money. You can meet some wonderful people and visit many gorgeous locations as you live out your deepest desires, but just like any industry, you’ll have to work hard to earn your place.

Get out of your comfort zone, meet new people and immerse yourself in the industry, networking with producers, agents and stars alike.

By following the list above you can be performing in your very own scene in no time at all.
