This seems to be the popular belief among porn fans as I read these forums and others like RAME. And I've heard same thing from people on the inside of the business. Maybe that's where alot of porn fans got this idea. I guess many men have the opinion that all women are basically prostitutes and they ALL have their price.
I don't think this is true but I'm no expert, maybe these guys are right.
Do you think that Jenna Jameson would do an extreme gangbang movie featuring anal, DP, etc if somebody met her price? How much $$$ do you think that would take? 500,000 dollars? A million?
Well now that I think about it, men are definitely bigger whores, cuz if I offered a million dollars to straight guys to star in a gay gangbang video there would be no shortage of hetero guys taking me up on the offer I guarantee.
I suppose most people, male or female, will do most things if the reward is large enough. Look at Fear Factor and some of these other gross-out shows on television. The reward doesn't necessarily have to be money, either.
In porn if you do something once, you're usually expected to do it again. Some things make you a draw, some things push you down on the list of desirable talent. If you're serious about what you want your filming career to be like, maybe you're a little more careful about what you will and won't do. A couple extra hundred today could cost you thousands tomorrow. That's all you're usually talking, too, just a couple hundred more. Why put yourself into something you don't think you want to do for that?

Do you really think that's true. I know I would have to make a lot more than 1/2 million or even 1 mill to do a gay gangbang. Maybe $10 million...
B) You're free to make proclamations about how high your price is (and how straight you are) because there are no offers forth coming.
Either way it's a pretty safe bet their are better looking men with bigger cocks (both straight and gay) who are, at this very moment entertaining ligitimate offers for much less.

Hmmm. I seem to have struck a nerve here. To clarify: the issue is not exactly having gay sex, but specifically a gay gang bang on film. If I am to do something against my nature, I must be compensated. If I am to do this thing in front of a camera where I must endure the opprobrium of society, I better damn well get paid for it. I need enough money to invest and live off for the rest of my life. I determine that figure to be $10 milllion
OTOH, if the gang bang if private, I would consider doing it for considerably less, say $1 million. If it's just a simple one-to-one sex with a guy, hell I'd do that for a couple hundred thousand.
Perhaps I'm just a jaded S.O.B., but I truly believe that greed is one of the primary (if not THE primary) motivating factors for humans as a race. So the idea that anyone can be bought, while perhaps not completely perfect, is pretty damn close!

I basically agree with this statement. Most people have a price for most things. When you extend that to porn, consider that you are already dealing with a class of females that have agreed to take money for various sexual acts which they know will be recorded on video and distributed to a mass audience. Since they're already past the hurdle of doing porn in the first place, and it's really just a question of whether they will do specific acts - anal, swallowing, etc., it seems to me that most will have a price point at which they will do most things. On the other hand, if a girl agrees too readily to be sodomized in one movie, and then again in another and another...pretty soon she's overexposed and demand for her services goes down. So, the smart porn girl will manage her career and be smart about her prices for various acts and the frequency with which she's willing to do them.
I know Steph doesn't want to hear about this but I do believe like in the case of Dion offering lots of dough & ownership for Taylor Rain doing the upcumming gangbang, every female & male performer can be persuaded into doing various sexual acts for large sums of money. It's the God's honest truth!
Well, i know what you mean but how does that comply with the let´s have her do this and that as long as she´s around attitude ? As i recall some companies like to shoot their scenes in advance.
You are obviously not sex workers. Sex workers don't command those sums of money. Is there something about your performance that does command that kind of sum?
(That's part of what I read into the posts by Kimi and Tony)

No. That's just the price I would need to pocket in order to make it worth my while. Any potential producer would be free to decline my demand. But then, of course, I'm not a sex worker.
