Living the Dream – How to Become a Pornstar
Do you fantasize about becoming a pornstar? The adult industry is one of the most profitable businesses on the planet, currently raking in an estimate of approximately 100 billion dollars per year.
It’s a glamorous lifestyle – or at least it looks that way to us onlookers. But is it really like we see in the XXX movies and on social media? Hardly. Regardless, it remains one of the most intriguing, fascinating and exciting professions in the world.
Is the Pornstar Life for You?
The first question you should ask yourself is, why do you want to become a pornstar? Is it to have sex with skilled and gifted lovers? Is it for the money and fame? If those are your reasons, then more power to you! Just remember, being a pornstar is a lot of hard work. Seriously, it’s a lot of hard fucking work, and we mean that in the truest literal sense.
Indeed, being a pornstar requires a lot more effort than people think, occasionally working for 80 + hours a week. As insane as that may sound, it’s not outside the realm of a typical work week for male and female porn stars.
However, it should be noted that not all workhours are dedicated exclusively to sex. In fact, performing sexual acts makes up about 10% of what the job entails. The rest of the week might be spent on various tasks, such as answering fan emails, promoting social media, talking to agents, reading industry blogs, posting on message boards, traveling to shoots, networking and appearing at industry shows.
If, for example, you are a porn model who edits their own videos, expect to commit another 20 – 30 hours per week to video editing. Add another 5 – 10 hours of processing and uploading those videos to different websites. Are you starting to get the picture? It’s not a walk in the park.
Adult Performers’ Community
How close is the porn community? Is there even a sense of community?
Definitely!
The industry is relatively small, and most people have met each other at least once. Performers share the same struggles, insecurities, doubts and fears. The “friends” you make in this industry can be very helpful. Generally, pornstars help and look out for each other.
Adult performers often refer to people outside of the industry as “civilians.” That should give a good indication of how they view everyone who doesn’t fuck on camera for money. Without a doubt, it’s a tight clique.
Do Pornstars Enjoy Sex on Set?
This is perhaps one of the most common questions we get: do pornstars actually enjoy getting fucked on camera? Are the orgasms real or are they faked?
Most of the time, performers are able create enough chemistry (on set) to enjoy working together. It’s important not only for their own personal pleasure, but also to produce truly authentic performances.
Additionally, adult productions allow pornstars to experience stuff they wouldn’t normally do in their everyday lives: anal, threesomes, group sex, exotic locations and more. It can be very exciting.
Do you think you have what it takes to be a pornstar? Whatever you do, give it some serious thought first. It’s a life-changing decision, and one you cannot take back. But it can also be very fulfilling.
