I just wanna know how a person gets to be involved with the porn industry by just working on the set, not actual sex part but of just being one of the helpers and just getting to be around the porn stars? Getting to be involved with the life of porn? I ask this because my life sucks and I need to be a part of something that makes me happy and want to stick around.
My experience is marginal (over a year) but as in life, it's not "what" you know but "who" you know. Get to know one of the "who you knows" and get your free ticket in but... you MUST possess some useful skill set (obviously). Also, I've noticed most "imdustry" people are hyper-aware of people who want in merely to be around the endless parade of hot chics and hedonistic lifestyles that they think we lead which is patently false. You may want to try attending the various porn parties (see "The Floating World" events) but don't try too hard as it's a bit trasparent (and a bit creepy-to the girls at least). Best of luck to you!
Whoooops, please excuse the typos, i.e. the mispellings of industry and transparent...

Yeah, but how the hell do guys like the minion get to be around and party with these girls? I have seen some fucked up looking guys in some of the behind the scenes footage of the porn sets and I keep wondering "How could I get to be there like them?".
Again it's the "who you knows"...Anybody can attend these parties. Gregarious guys like Porno Dan are on every VIP list because they're always the life of the party (much unlike lifeless choads like myself that are there to shamelessly network lol). OR Just bring a hot chic... (but careful when playing in Pandora's box, porn life probably isn't what you think it is)
Do your research and think long and hard. Getting in maybe what you want now, but once you get in and the fantasy becomes a reality you may just want out. And getting out...that's a completely different discussion.
The first thing you might want to learn is not to insult insiders. You never really know how much clout the person you're talking about has.

yeah, my bad. Yeah well i need to figure something out because my life sucks right now and I need to get into something that makes me happy and that right now is porn.
"I have seen some fucked up looking guys in some of the behind the scenes footage of the porn sets and I keep wondering "How could I get to be there like them?". Move to California and carry a scum bucket and mop around? Seriously. If pornogarphy is your threadway to happiness, you better reconsider your options.
^Well, depending on who you talk to, the mob did have a pretty big role in shaping porn's early days... [edit: I wrote "mod" instead of "mob". Fixed now. Being a mod is getting to me...] Edited by - killbillvol69 on 1/26/2009 1:04:50 PM
