Re: Should this porn star be removed from JUB?
Well, I always see people saying on the internet that a porn star makes thousands per scene. There was a short (actually, very brief) time that I hated myself for being so doggone ugly that I could never do porn. I think Jasun (the pornographer on here) said a couple times that a gay porn star makes like a couple thousand per scene. Or something like that.
They don't. They make more than straight men in straight porn, but the truth is, there is only a limited number of videos they can sell via a studio before it all becomes overkill. So, they make hay up front, but after that, the interval between videos is longer and they make less.
It's easy to think gay porn stars make good salaries because they often film in posh homes, but they don't belong to the actor.
It's also easy to learn the pay one star makes for a certain shoot and then project that across a year, but they don't make videos all the time and are not full time employed in most cases. It's more like a free lance photographer selling his pics when he can.
There is a surprising list of porn stars who ostensibly make their living as escorts after they have peaked in videos, becoming little more than famous call boys. Not very glamorous that.
Finally, one should consider the corrosive effect of the explosion of "homemade" porn now that anyone with cam can make it. The effect on porn studios has been noticeable.
Not smearing all of porn, but notions that gay porn stars live some kind of life of ease like stars of the silver screen of yore is fallacious.
