How to get in porn?

i think its a case of keeping it hard for the camera & cumming on command, not about all about size for porn, it helps.
How funny! I myself am having " auditions" on my casting couch this very weekend, and I am looking for someone exactly like YOU! Kid- I can make you a STAR!
SEriously: IN America, on Craig's List, they are constantly advertising for guys to be in porn films under the " Adult gig" category-- most of the major film and online sites are always looking for guys especially to film scenes and solos, all over the States. Don't know if it is the same in Britain? As long as you are of legal age and can prove it, they will hire you for videos/filmwork.

The first thing to decide is whether there is anyone in your family or any of your friends that would cause a problem if they found out you were doing porn. Because, they WILL find out at some point. If it's a problem, don't even start, seriously.
The issue for men in porn is usually one of their expectations not meeting with reality. In straight porn, many of the guys don't even get paid, because there are so many that want to do it. And typically the women are the ones who selectively introduce the (new) men to the business. So, unless you're dating a porn actress, you're not going to break into that end of the business. That leaves gay porn. A lot of straight guys will do this, supposedly for the money, but there's not a lot of money in it. Gay guys do it too, and most of those I've met are into the fantasy aspects that it helps them realize in addition to some money.
To give you a read on the reality, male porn actors get paid 3-5 times less than female porn actresses, so on the whole, they're making between $50-150 for amateur stuff. Even professional, well-known gay porn actors are only making $100-300/day depending on their role and previous popularity.
For nude photos, you're looking at getting about $1 per photo that's actually used. An hour-long photo shoot will probably generate 300-600 photos, of which maybe 1 in 10 will be usable, so you're getting $30-60 an hour. Of course the better you are as a model, or if you satisfy some special requirement, the more likely the photo session will result in a higher usability ratio, and therefore the photographer will be willing to pay you more. Most new nude photo models (male) are offered somewhere in the neighborhood of $25-35/hour for a two hour test shoot. If you show up on time, are cooperative, have a good percentage of shots be usable, and are willing to come back consistently, you've probably got a good side job for pocket money, because most models flake out after one or two sessions, don't show up, or otherwise are a hassle for photographers.
One of the big things for you though, is to make sure you're comfortable with the photographer before you sign up for a session. Go meet them, ask the questions that are hard for you to ask, take 1 or 2 quick photos so they remember who you are (don't have to be nude, but this can also be a test to see if you can take your clothes off when it comes down to it). Schedule an appointment, and then stick to your appointment. It can be fun, but you have to do it because you enjoy it, not for the money. If you're not having a good time, the pictures will show you're not having a good time, and nobody wants (to pay you for) that.
If you've got a buddy who is handy with a camera, you can usually sell your photos to a web site that features nude male models for that $1 per photo they select that I mentioned earlier. It doesn't sound like a lot, but the economics work out that way, figuring that your work or their work, you're getting about $30-35/hour if you're shooting a lot of pictures to get the good ones from the bunch. If you're not in an urban area where the photographers are working, this may be an option for you. Video pays more, but then the quality and work demands are higher too.
I've been working with nude models for 8 years.

I dont know how to get in porn. It sure sounds like a fun job............:smile: :wink:
Fantasy is always better than reality, so think very carefully before you venture into porn even if you have the looks and penis size to be a hit as it were. As Nargauzius mentioned above, male stars even in gay porn do not earn that much at all even if they are popular, which is why you see some stars do heaps and heaps of movies and magazine and internet shows - it's not so much that they perhaps WANT to do all the work, it's just that it's the only way to make enough money to survive on and it is to do not just the dvds but EVERYTHING that is involved in porn as an industry.
Not only that, AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases are still high in the adult business even though most companies now screen their actors and insist on wearing condoms and lubricant. And since the scene is already small, if one actor has something it will inevitably spread through the group like wildfire if not detected early.

What's so dangerous about being a pornstar? I guess if you have unprotected sex, it could be, but otherwise, I don't really understand.
Some might consider potentially being ostracized by family and friends based on your new profession to be a danger. I'm not saying that it's right to be judgemental, but right or wrong it's a reality, and you risk putting your relationship with the ones you hold close in jeopardy.

Yes, there are a few dangers.
First is that the company hiring you may not be legitimate, and all the things that go along with shady business. They could also trap you into things you don't want to do. Always good to check them out prior. These "amateur" porn companies are often the worst, because many have few scruples about taking advantage of the models.
Second is what others pointed out, the risk of important relationships. If you have any concern that your friends, family, or other employer might be distressed to find out about your nude photos/videos, then don't do it. You can't unmake the photos/videos. And it's only a matter of time, they WILL find out. Depending on what country you're in, this may be more or less of a problem, based on cultural attitudes about nudity and sex.
Third is that it can simply distort your natural sexual expression and damage any "normal" sexual relationship you actually want to pursue, if you make it a regular thing.
As I mentioned to the original poster, if you're not planning on modeling as a full-time career, don't mix porn/nude photos with fashion photos. It's hard enough to get a modeling job without having a fashion company reject you because they don't want to associate with the image a model who does porn. There's currently a big stink in New York City over a physical therapist, who also is a fitness model, who even asked permission prior to modeling for Playgirl, because he works in a school with disabled children who need physical therapy. The school gave him permission, but now the parents are terrified of the influence it will have on the severely handicapped children who will never see a copy of Playgirl, which isn't even really very pornographic. And you'd think in NYC they'd seen it all...
