Regarding STDs and STIs in the porn industry, they do happen there just like they do anyplace else, probably at far greater levels than you can imagine since porn work involves so many partners and so much sleaze. Legitimate employers, producers and production companies test people and make sure they??re healthy. But if you think that all porn producers in the world are legitimate folks who??re working hard to make sure their employees are healthy, you don??t know much about that industry. It??s one that preys on young people, and ethics and employee health don??t rank highly in their concerns.

As I look back on what you originally wrote, I may be wrong about your motivation being ego-driven. You don??t have the same ??I??m going to be God??s gift to porn? tone that some of our previous porn-ambitious posters have had. Still, I know there are a lot of young men who aspire to go into the industry because they think their bodies are going to be the be-all and end-all that rockets them to the pinnacle of porn success. Just realize that it??s not like that for most people. Like I said before, the ones who survive to tell about having worked in that industry (those who don??t die of suicide, STDs or drug overdoses??do some reading, I??m telling you the truth here) do not tell happy tales. My guess is that it??s an industry??like prostitution??that doesn??t generally beckon to happy, healthy, emotionally whole people to begin with.

As far as your being in the 1/4 of the industry that isn't gay, good luck with that. A job is a job, and that'd be a job. You'd be expected to do what was asked of you.
Yeah, i definately don't think i'm "god's" gift to women or the porn industry. While i'm sure that a lot of what you say about the industry is true i think there are a lot of misconceptions about it also. So, i don't judge until i've had experiance or met some people who have actually been in it. I'm merely seeking a satisfying job which i will actually enjoy. Right now whenever i'm at work, at a supermarket, either on tills or forced to do repetitive manual labour *sigh* I always think of quitting. It's really stressful. I know work isn't easy and i do everything that is asked of me. I'm not going to quit but it's got me thinking that I want to do something that will make me happy. I want a job that i truely want to go to. I don't want to be living the unexamined life in a quest for survival. You make a good point about wife and kids but i really doubt i would have a family while being in the porn industry. I'm thinking of being in it for a little while and then moving on. Right now i'm just typing, these are all ideas, whether i follow through or not is the predicament. But, i'm up for giving it a go.
Reefer Rogue Reviewed by Reefer Rogue on . Being a porn star Has anyone else besides me considered this? For me, a (good) job should be fun, rewarding, get a decent pay and you should want to go to work. I think being a porn star involves all of these premises. In all honesty i can't think of a better job then having sex with beautiful women and getting paid for it. Oh yeah, and you're either on tv or in a movie, so acting is part of the deal which is nice. I have no idea how i'd go about it though, i think i'd have to apply somewhere, i know you have to Rating: 5
