A lot of men reach out to me saying how much they want to be a male porn star. Some will send me gratuitous pictures of their genitalia and assume that the sheer magnitude of their size is enough to pass the “male pornstar” test. After all, what an easy job it must be – getting to have sex with beautiful women every day and get paid for it!
Nowadays a giant penis isn’t a pre-requisite for working in porn, although it can help, depending on what studios you are wanting to shoot predominantly for (studios that require a lot of opening up to camera find that larger penises are oftentimes more beneficial given that it’s easier to capture penetration shots when you’ve got more going on downstairs). No, the skills required to be a successful male performer far exceed the size of their penises.
If I was running an ad looking for the next top male performer, it would look something like this:
Seeking: Talented Male Porn Star
-Can stay hard anywhere from 30 minutes to three hours
-Is able to ejaculate on cue (or with minimal wait time, after all the sun is going down and we don’t want to have to relight)
-Is comfortable having sex in front of a group of people (some who might be eating a pastrami sandwich, others who might be snickering at you, about your, or just in general)
-Can successfully have sex with someone who doesn’t find you attractive
-Can successfully have sex with someone who might prefer talking about how much they like their boyfriend
-Can successfully have sex with someone who is in a major fight with their boyfriend and is in a horrific, man-hating mood
-Can successfully have sex with someone who might have bad breath or a bad attitude
-Can successfully have sex with someone you actively dislike, used to date, or who you recently had a fight with
-Can be in enough shape to pile drive when necessary
-Can be in enough shape to fuck vigorously for several hours on everything from hardwood floors to gravel roads
-Can be on time and punctual
-Can fake a connection when there is none
-Can successfully have sex in 100+ degree weather when there is no air conditioner
-Can still have a great attitude through it all
*At one point or another these things will come into play for every male performer. Do you think YOU have what it takes?
