The amateur route is always easy if you have enough money and are willing to spend it. Getting the content distributed is the hard part. As for the "big time" porn, it's probably still pretty hard and will always be for obvious reasons...
I can only count five male performers out there I know that don't use any pills or injections. Everybody else I know pops those pills or uses injection kits.
Just because you use Viagra or Cialis does not mean you can perform. Most of this shit is mental and having a filthy drunk like me spouting out epithets at a newbie ain't going to help his wood no matter if his bloodstream is teeming with the blue pill.
The best performers in the business, Everhard, J. Strong, S. Holmes, and Manuel, are all-natural. That should tell you something. They get off on pussy without the need for an external stimulant.
Well, I'm a male actor and I'm just started. I did about 40 scenes and I've never taken a pill. I think that if you need a pill to get him up, you're in the wrong business. You just need to be extremely horny!
There is a need for GOOD male performers in this business, many of the GOOD male performers are going contract with studios. There are still good ones as mentioned above, but we do need more. Not easy though! Amateur is a way, or hook up with a lady that we really want to shoot and have her ask for you to do her (after she has tested you out). Like anything else, time is money. Skeeter shot a 4 guy gangbang for me, and due to wood problems it took 2 hours and 45 minutes to get 30 minutes on tape. At the end of the shooting day we were over our time limit at the location and had to pay a penalty. No wood happens to everyone on occassion (except the shooters) but it is frustrating for the director and the producer.

Hi ricwilli1 from Private USA,I have a friend who wants to have his shot in the porn industrie,would it be posible for him to get an audition ? if your intrested let me know how i can get in touch with you
Most people who want to be in porn are confident with their sexuality. They have no problem with wood in their private lives. They don't need Viagra or Cialis.
This medications help people who have physical deficiencies. They help when you are horny but your body doesn't work properly.
Having sex in your private live or do it on a set, as a job, is a completely different ballpark. Most guys loose their erection because they loose their excitement. Too many people around, too much distraction or the girl is not like you hoped. But when you are not excited, Viagra will not help.
3-4 years ago I did a couple of gang-bangs for a German company. They booked me like an M.C. All the other guys, between 20 and 30, were amateurs. They all had no trouble to perform, because they had no pressure. Who was hard stepped in front. Some of them tried to do regular scenes and they all failed. They felt pressure to perform and it was over.
I believe it's all about your mentality and medications will not help. The only exception are injections. I don't know exactly what they are injecting, but with this you will be hard without any excitement. But most guys who use this have problems to cum, because they are not exited. I've been on sets where we had to wait an hour and more for a guy to cum.
So we are all looking for new guys but at the same time reluctant to try them. Porn is a low budget business. Loosing a couple of thousands on a guy, hurt the profit you can do on a movie.
I'm in a schizophrenic situation. On the one hand I'm happy that there is a lack of performers, because it gives me a lot of work. On the other hand I'm also producing movies and would be happy to have a larger group of guys to book.
I tried Viagra for the extra "kick" and hated it. It gives you a shitty headache later, and I didn't notice any real difference in staying hard. That being said, I've never had any trouble staying hard except the most extreme situations... like a room that was 40 degrees in January in Boston!!! But that's another topic.
Steve said best. It's the excitement factor that lacks in a scene. Some are so cool it's unbelievable. Others are so dead you can't believe. Being a good masturbator helps. :) FOR REAL. It's rarely romantic. The pressure can be incredible!! I laugh, but I was a golf pro, and the pressure of standing over a 4 foot putt to win the hole or a match has definitely helped me in this biz. Just relax and go woth it.
My experiences have been mostly in lower budgest internet stuff in New Engalnd, and I have spent the last several days in LA with friends at very high levels of the biz. It's different. It's work.
Did I mention I am packing it in in New York and moving to LA???
Maybe I'll keep this thread going with my move from AAA porn league to the majors.
Well, I've tried viagra also, but not on the set. It was in my private live and I wanted to try it. Didn't have a headache afterwards, but I do had trouble to cum for the second time. Normally that wouldn't be a problem. I just think that for a normal man without wood problems, its just a waist of money.
Seems things don't add-up here.Why some male performer interviewed say they all take it and if they say they don't,they are just lying?Why Dale Dabone was admitting taking it,saying that the most popular stud have to fuck twice a day and also have to satisfy their girlfriend.Why...Tom Byron did admit using it.Since he was the co-owner of the company,I guess he didn't had to fuck shank but only the cutest girls he would hired himself,so why the need???Sure seems the majority don't want to admit they do(I can remember reading right here DC blasting those new young guys/viagra users).I don't know,since the guy is over 60,I guess if there is one case where the guy should be using this stuff,that would be it,right?
Don't get me wrong. I don't want to discourage anybody to use whatever he think it takes. We are not at the Olympics and have no doping control. I just look back what happened over the last years. I started porn in Germany in 1996. 1998 VIAGRA came to the market in Germany and I was discussing with colleagues if our job has a future. If anybody is able to do our job now, why would a producer will be willing to pay a good price for us anymore. Many guys are willing to fuck hot porn chicks for little to nothing.
In General nothing changed. Since I've started, there were only Manuel Ferrara and Mick Blue who made it big here in Europe.
Many of us, including me, tried VIAGRA. I don't know about Cialis. I've never seen it.
I don't know who kept using VIAGRA and I don't care. I just see the results. VIAGRA is on the market since MANY YEARS and it didn't change the porn industry.
"VIAGRA is on the market since MANY YEARS and it didn't change the porn industry."..............................I don't know?In the past you use to read everywhere(I think it's still there at the asia carrera site,DC site,World Modeling site,Mike South site)that to be good in porn,you had to be able to get a hard on in any condition and since it's so hard(to have,no pun intended :-))that's why it's always the same guys you see in every movies...well,that was sure true in 1998 but look at it today,there's new guys everywhere every weeks so how comes these days it's so easy for all those guy to get by...you tell me.
I don't know how many different girls. I write down each and every scene for book keeping reasons, but I don't make notes about the girls. Some of this girls I worked multiple times with for different companies. On the other hand there were scenes with multiple new girls. I just guess they were something between 200 and 400 different girls.
This doesn't contain the scenes I shot for my own production. at Platinum X Pictures
