Sad to say that porn is not legal everywhere. It is illegal in numerous places inside and outside the jurisdiction of the United States. The U.K. has some particularly interesting laws on porn and porn actors for material produced outside their own shores. The Middle East is definitely a problem location if a job were to ask you to travel there. There are many locations with very strict guidelines if your past were to be discovered.
Age of legal majority at the time the material was produced presents another problem because when it comes to sex acts, some jurisdictions do not view sex as consentual unless both participants are over 21 years of age. It may be 18 in one place, 16 in another , but, the statute that applies is the one in which you the porn actor are arrested and charged in later life.
Employment requiring any kind of security clearance is out of the question for you if you have done porn. Some bonding companies may also refuse to bond you in some kinds of financial work if the past were to be uncovered.
People have been granted rights to do things in private, but, private corporations are not required to adhere to things in this manner and with many conservative administrations having upheld many idiotic laws regarding what people do in their private lives, this is a chance I would rather not take if I were you simply because at your age, you do not know where life will lead you.
Working in any career dealing with children such as counseling, scouting, psychiatric employment, and even some parts of medicine are areas that would possibly eliminate you at the first convenient moment if they found out.
The worst part is that you may be 10 years past your porn career and without warning you get called into an office and you never find out why.
I am 56 years old and I, because of the kind of work I did had opportunities to meet and know many who were well known as men in the adult entertainment business. One young fellow kept trying to "get out" of the porn business. He was a young blonde haired kid about the age you are right now. People kept recognizing him because he had been very prolific in the 1980's. He found true love and the love of his life worked for Jet Propulsion Laboratories in Pasadena, CA. This young guy ended up with a Florist Shop not too far from Glendale, California. He deliberately did a great deal to alter his appearance. His final effort was to literally have his Mother record a new message and have that message state that he had died of HIV complications. His life partner made good money and they very quietly did tons of publicity talking about his death to get rid of this horrible past and the problems it brought with it. I will not mention who it was because this kid literally did everything to put that life behind him. Sean IS a great person and had suffered terribly because of his association with the industry. Porn careers haved killed bodybuilding careers because these men are not usable to promote supplements related to bodybuilding. The late Rob Sager, Tom Katt and one other fellow now a PT in Florida have lost numerous contests not because they did not meet the qualifications but purely on political grounds.
Now gone are Ed Wiley, Scott Taylor, Thom Katt (not the bodybuilder turned born-again) Lance, Melchor Diaz, Rick Donovan, Lee Ryder, and one of the nicest people who was Al Parker. All of these names were the acting names and not the real names of these people. Porn careers caught up with all of them and most had very difficult times as they tried to exit the business and resume normal lives.
Getting in is very simple, have what they want, you're in. Certainly to be considered is in some ways a dubious honor. The problem with it is that something that you do for a short time can have lifetime consequences and the consequences become more and more of a problem the more popular you become in that field. If you are fantastic and the best out there with regards to plowing either a male or female and expect to be required at some point to do both, your exposure increases and your chances for recognition by some unwanted individual are increased.
Some would argue that the person doing the recognizing was watching the porn or some other line of thinking, but that does not matter. As has been stated watching porn seems to be accepted univerally, making it is not.
Make straight porn and many feminists want your butt in a sling because you have done something to in their eyes reduce the importance of women and to sexualize women period.
Make gay porn and even the bigots who watch straight porn hate you because while they were watchinig you screw some female and were masturbating, the minute you did that three way with some guy you're now a pariah.
Many great people are badly hurt by that business. As a porn actor you are about as disposable as they get.
Think long and very thoroughly in regards to this. The best answer you can give to this porn company is that you have changed your mind.
