    I’ve thought about doing porn.

    Not because of the money itself, but because I would love to fuck all day every day. Getting paid is just a bonus. I’m in good shape and I’m generally attractive. I could do it but I’m afraid of judgement.

      Its not all the glamour you may be thinking and there’s a reason there rampant drug use. Pay is poor unless you become a big name, think about it, how many porn stars do you know off the top of your head

        Yeah, there are two ways to make good money in porn. The first way is to be one of the lucky 0.001% who make it big, and essentially become a household name.

        The second is to find a niche, (or even a niche within a niche), and make a name for yourself within that circle. The more taboo ones can be especially lucrative. This will largely depend on your personal kinks and physical traits though, so there’s not a ton of wiggle room in this regard.

        There’s a reason so many trans women end up doing porn at some point; There’s a surprisingly big demand for it, and not many trans women to do it. So those who do usually end up making some decent money. Especially if they can find a niche within that niche. Basically, a trans woman may make good money, but a trans woman willing to do weird stuff will likely make even more. It’s also why furries are willing to pay so much for yiff art. Many artists aren’t willing (or practiced enough) to do it, so those who do are able to demand high prices.

      I’ve heard one of the biggest issues with being a male pornstar is stamina. You gotta be able to keep that thing up for hours without breaks

      Male or female? Because if your a male I hear two ways men can do porn. 1 you have to do lots and lots of gay porn. Or 2 have a hot wife or girlfriend then you can do straight porn that way.

      All this came from a girl I knew who did porn in the early 2000’s.

      Of course you can just setup a camera and film it yourself, but not sure how profitable that can be.

      I thought about the idea after watching Zach and Miri make a Porno but that isn’t realistic. And not even sure legal.

      I think even in California they have to flim near airports and shit.
