Are they on bromide? Or do they get the gay guys to film the straight stuff and the straight guys to film the gay stuff?

Who says they don't get boners?
Getting a boner, and doing something with it, are two different things.
Also, filming and operating a camera on a porn set is very hard work (no pun intended).
(Obviously, I'm not referring to the MTV-style visionaries running around with hand-held toys.)

Well, perhaps I should ask a secondary question:
How do they stop the camera from shaking? LOL.

Actually the first question isn't phrased very well.
I should have asked, 'how do porn cameramen stop themselves from getting boners?'

Maybe the same way I don't get a boner in a nudist camp , they know they're not involved in any sexual situation , other people are but not them

They're concentrating on getting a good shot, I don't think I'd get a boner doing that either unless the girl crawls up to me and wants my dick too. I think cameramen jerks off like crazy when edititing or etc.

I imagine they do get the occasional boner. I personally have never gotten boners without working them up. I can watch a sexual scene and generally not get an erection unless I physically whip it out and play with it.

Well, yeah, cum to think of it, I get a lot of boners during the night when I'm asleep. And I'm not even viewing any porn. It's a funny world, isn't it.

I'd be willing to bet that most of them do.
I did a bit of fashion photography and it was hard trying to avoid getting a boner, especially as my girl friend was there with me.
It got a bit embarrssing sometimes, so I would call a halt to discuss the out fits etc so as to give me time to let it go down.

From my understanding it's not as exciting and sexy on a porn shoot as some might think. In fact, I hear it's rather boring. Plus, I would imagine camera guys would get excited watching others have sex when they first start out but after awhile it's just naked body #1056 and it's no big deal at all.

Yes, when something becomes your job it ceases to be exciting and becomes a little bit more mundane.

seeing the same thing everyday, seeing all the hours of crap before hand, realizing how more often than not the woman isnt totally into the sex just going through the motions... would be just like filming anything else. i dont believe i would get boners seeing porn being made.. if it was a one off, yes, everyday for my job.. hell no

"I personally have never gotten boners without working them up."
????!!!!
Never? That makes you the baddest man on the planet. You must have gone from about age 10 to around age 30 in a flash. An instantaneous time warp. I can remember about a seven or eight year continuous period when I was never without a boner. If I was awake, I had a boner. And half the time when I wasn't awake I was sportin' blue steel. Little to no stimulus required.
You are a pretty cool customer.

Those who think its sexy probably haven't been on a set. I can find women sexy in the most unsexy situations, but still... on a set I doubt I would get a boner unless I wanted to. Just think of all the (creepy) people, the mess that's never shown on the camera, the lighting, the smell(!), the pauses, preparation, schedule issues, conflicts, drama. Its not like your freshly showered girlfriend in your own clean bed...

In my case, I'm too worried about messing up a shot. Also, as a fan... you get to see the end product, nice and polished. I get to be around the girls when they're taking dumps before an anal shoot or barfing all over the place from being face fucked. On top of that, I'm shooting 3-4 times a week and like they say, "the thrill is gone".

I don't get a boner when I draw naked women live or photograph them.
When you are using a camera your attention would be more on getting the right angle and keeping focus.
You would be detached to what you are shooting.
Not to say it would never happen but when a camera man shoots thousands of porno's it would have to be pretty damn hot to get him going.

It's the same thing for doctors... I've (almost) never got it hard while visiting a woman or a girl...mostly because:
- you dont let it happen (for evident reasons) and
- you're focusing on what you're doing....
maybe afterwards you could think about it and then it could get hard...
Everything always starts from our minds, and we can stop it from our mind....
