Thinking of Getting into the Adult Industry?

[Soilwork]

meh. He's probably currently jerking off thinking about me paying him attention. You'd think he could spell my name right, at least. In his defense, it's not easy to type with one hand.

What does it matter? If someone doesn't want to suck dick, how does that mean they have issues?

Three posts above I posted this exactly... "if you're just "uninterested" in sucking dick then no... there is nothing wrong with that."

For someone who craves every letter I type, I'm surprised you missed that.

I don't think it's race-related, I think it's more about his being uptight about sexuality in general. But that's none of my business.

Well, how you explain it then, that the only ones who has attacked e.g. me here on JUB happens to be blacks. I have been here now for only couple of months and I can give names but I won´t do that....we all know who they are.

 

[JerryPic]

Really?

Posting that is like posting the Duggars to teach about good parenting.

Joseph Sciambra was not a "gay porn star." He did a couple solo videos. He NOW says that "gay men give birth to the devil anally" and that gay sex made men have their "sphincters almost stitched shut."

He's a lunatic. He ran a blog called "SWALLOWED BY SATAN: How Our Lord Jesus Christ Saved Me From Homosexuality, Pornography, and the Occult."

That guy is just a nutcase. You can't take anyone that broken seriously.

He has chosen his side and I don´t blame him. He seems to have very wild past and he is lucky to be alive, so good for him in that sense. That docu was just dull but admire him for being a fighter. And yeah, I also think his is a nutcase...but a smart one.

We seem to have different definitions of the words "fighter" and "smart."

This is a personal post but JUB is the right place for this question, I hope.

I've been considering for the past couple of years dabbling in the adult industry... probably not trying out for a big studio like Colt or anything (I don't have "the look" they want anyway I 'm sure) but maybe on the part time amateur side of the business. Possibly starting a blog or XTube channel part time... idk. I'm still playing with the idea of it.

But I've thought about why exactly I want to get into the adult industry as well. I'm unfulfilled by my non starter career and my current position seems to be coming to an end, I'm thinking about taking a bit of a career break or changing directions completely, moving somewhere outside NYC due to that (the Big Apple is a very expensive city to live in and rough starting out here aside from certain high paying industries). I'd like to do some traveling for a while, and honestly I'm really really kinky. So much in fact it's made me wonder if I'll be able to find a sexually compatible BF. My ex couldn't keep up but he tried.

Might be a good way of, if not meeting other like minded guys, serving as a calling card of sorts. IDK, I feel I should be "doing" something with it other than just hoping to "somehow" meet like minded guys into the same things I am by chance and it might be a good way of getting my foot in the door with the fetish community.

I have some very conflicting feelings about it though and a ton of questions swirling around in my head. For one my biggest worry is, whether it be a simple blog or especially becoming a model for an amateur site, it getting dug up if I had to apply for a job. Or even family- that would be embarrassing. That kind of stuff can follow you for a long time.

Part of this fear I believe though comes from a puritanical Western beliefs about sex, shaming those in the industry and other knee jerk judgements surrounding anyone associated with the business. There was another post on here I was read through where someone listed real estate agents, architects, a mechanical engineer and even a NASA scientist as former porn stars.

I'm up for relocating but the industry, at least in the US is based in LA and San Franc mostly, other high COL metro areas. In Europe, based on what I've read, at least Czechoslovakia and Eastern Europe interestingly.

Though, even relocating to a low cost of living area I've heard people in the business don't make very much, especially on the amateur side. Starting a blog I'm sure I'd be barely scraping by. I've dipped my toe in that as an off and on hobby but didn't really give it consideration like I am now. Getting involved with a large studio you can make more but that's all dependent on your ability to preform. And what about healthcare and such? That essential for anyone performing.

Finally there's the issue of turning something fun and pleasurable into "work". Whether it's working out the kinks of a server going down or having to do a re-shoot for a scene. Maybe even a bored desensitization about it sometimes. It's one thing to be a viewer but probably totally different once you're on the other side.

You are not going to get rich doing gay porn. Look at all those porn star deaths there is a dark side to the industry. There is a lot of pressure to look good guys take steroids like eric rhodes.

did you even read the rest of the thread before you posted that?

I read the thread and I am entitled to my own opinions. Gay porn is basically prostitution. The op would be better off being an escort and not have his image on the Internet forever. Many people regret making porn and many gay porn stars die from AIDS or depression or simply hate themselves. So many porn stars die it is not glamorous and you will not get rich doing it. There is a clear reason why so many gay porn stars are dying.

You're entitled to your own opinions but not your own made up facts.

Being an escort actually comes with a lot more dangers than being a porn star. Meeting clients when you're an escort is a crap shoot... you never know when you're going to be hired by some maniac, most of them are very unattractive and are going to want to do some pretty fucked up things, none of them are tested for STIs and you don't have a crew there making sure everything is done safely. You also can't yell "I need to cut here" when you need a break.

No, "many porn stars" do not "die from AIDS." This is no longer 1989.

you say "SO many porn stars die..." but... tell us... how many porn stars die? I mean I guess technically, everyone dies... but tell us about these "so many porn stars" that are dying and show us that being a gay porn star means you're more likely to suffer from depression or die.


(and yes... we've all been through it that making porn isn't a way to get rich. The OP wasn't really interested in GETTING rich, though, so I'm not sure why you brought that up)

Of course you are so biased and just because you are a whore does not make you an expert. I have read many articles about the dangers of gay porn so your opinion means nothing. A lot of porn companied pressure young men into barebacking. The companies will say it is the performer choice but that is bullshit! The porn companies only care about making money. Porn stars also have to deal with body image issues. Many of these men have low self esteem they are pressured by these ruthless companies to take steroids. Some of these men do not have much self worth they believe their lives mean nothing. Some lack education and skills to get a proper job. Your attitude is disgusting you are nothing but a dirty whore glamorizing porn.

How are you in Canada? I could have sworn you were on the Mayflower.

Ok so... while my being a "whore" may or may not be true depending on your own personal definition for that.... it seems like you're just... deciding what you want to believe and then believing it. Which ... I mean... I guess that's ok but you don't have any ground to stand on talking about a lack of proper education.

If you're going to make statements like "many porn stars die from AIDS," you kinda need to back that up with something other than "articles I've read."

The studio I work at has never once made a bareback movie. Never once. I also do my best to talk men OUT of taking steroids because it makes them look like gorillas with little dicks.

Nearly ALL people have to deal with body issues. A lot of people deal with a lack of education (although at the moment most of my Titanmen exclusives have a higher degree than I do) and like I've said...all the best, happiest porn stars DO have "proper jobs."

Jesse Jackman talks about his work in IT, Eric Nero has talked about how he's an engineer diver. Another of our exclusives works for [a major social network that you almost def have] as a programmer. Those are "proper jobs."

Maybe you should rail on Starbucks and McDonald's if you want to whine about exploiting people with low wages, poor working conditions and limited access to education.

OK? ok.

Again you are using your personal experiences to generalize. Your personal experience does not speak for everyone who got into gay porn. I am talking about what I read in attitude and out magazines about the dark side of gay porn. Okay great you had a positive experience but you are sending the wrong message there is nothing glamorous about being a whore. Do you got a real job? Does your family know you are a whore? Is your job on hour resume? Maybe for you had an amazing experience being a whore but people are dying. I suggest people Google and read about the numerous porn stars dying. One guy just died recently only 36 he hanged himself. Stop glamorizing gay porn you are just a prostitute with no morals.

I don't work in anything even remotely connected with the porn industry. I'm glad that as a result of that, I am not going to die.

Yes. My personal experiences from working in the industry for the last 12 years. They don't speak for anything.

Do I "got a real job?" Yes, in fact I do. I'm a film maker. My work is a full-time job... with salary and benefits and health insurance and a 401K. And vacation time.

Does my family know what I do for a living? Yes they do. They're also listed as being my parents on my IMDB page and they aren't ashamed of what I do at all. I'm not a "whore," I'm just a guy who makes movies, many of which (but not all) are porn.

Is my job on my resume? My job IS my resume. And it gets me a lot of work. Thanks.

Tell us again... who are the "numerous porn stars who are dying' again?

You are worse than a whore you are a pimp.
Pick up a newspaper porn stars are indeed dying so you are a filmmaker your attitude is no surprise. You are like a pimp so if course youe bias is shining through. You are certainly no legit filmmaker you are just a prostitute who got behind the camera. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Oh look... yes... there have been some porn stars that have died over the years. Some of them were my friends.

But I'm asking again... which people are you talking about?

So if porn is such a blood money industry, that puts blood on your hands for patronizing porn, looking at porn, and being on a website devoted to porn.

Read go look at a gay newspaper or look for news not my job to find the info for you. I already pointed out a young man only 36 years old died recently he hanged himself. The guy appeared in gay porn films. You seem to have an attitude problem. People are dying but you act like there needs to be some huge body count. The point is every life is precious and young men get into gay porn and their lives are destroyed.

Doctors and surgeons have some of the highest rates of alcoholism, drug addiction and suicide out of any profession out there.

Are you prepared to say those are all horrible jobs taken only by people of low moral character as a result?
