Salutations,

Some time in the 80's and 90's an issue came up in India. It was legal to sell your kidney so that someone unfortunate could live. Sounded like a neat idea until you realized that hundreds of people needed the money and began putting their kidneys on market to pay for weddings, cars, and other things.

I'm noticing something similar in the industry. Lots of my client's xpeeps and myspace friend requests are from people coast to coast "starting a production company", or "looking to get in the industry". From AVN, I was used to the number of people curious, but now, they seem more confident and are actually doing it. Many have no knowledge of the law, and many more don't realize there isn't as much money in it as there used to be.

Instead of kidneys, everyone out there seems to think that if they take their clothes off and sell their bodies for a few minutes, that will take care of everyting.

Apparently, Andy Warhol needs an upgrade, in the near future, everyone will be naked on the internet for 15 minutes. It's great for the sexual revolution and certainly a wake-up call for the prudes, but I've got a feeling this business won't be on stable ground for very much longer if this keeps up.

Or is it just me?

Sincerely,

Jay

I don't think the industry is on stable ground now.

As far as all the wanna-be's go, that's what happens when you get the media throwing around 'billion dollar industry' bullshit. At least their odds of coming out alive, if not wealthy, are better than in past 'gold rushes.'

PS - I don't want to be naked on the Internet, ever.

There will always be people that want to make a quick buck and taking off your clothes requires no talent or skill .
some think they will become a star ,some do it just for the money but I hoped they know the consequences of getting naked in front of the camera and how it can affect your life down the road.

don't get me wrong there should be no consequences for posing nude in front of the camera but there are people out there that don't like it and you may have to deal with them .

C'mon you hear about this all the time , a girl will get fired from a job because she did a slap and tickle(porno) movie or posed nude in a magazine.

I just read that there trying to fire a teacher for topless pics that they found of her on the web .

JayMoyes, are we to assume from your post that you yourself either work in or are closely associated with the porn industry? If so, it seems strange that you would look upon newcomers into the industry with such cynicism. Even so, whenever I hear people who are somehow connected to the porn industry speak so discouragingly about new prospects into the industry, I am always curious about the motives for such advice: Is it possibly to dissuade new prospects from setting their sights on the industry, thereby decreasing potential competition from any new up-and-cumming pornographers? When you talk about the business not being "on stable ground for very much longer if this keeps up," does this really mean that it is becoming harder and harder for the honchos who are already in the business to go on without sharing the fruits of the insustry instead of trying to hog them all for themselves?

On the other hand, I still have to agree that I don't know what possesses a person, especially a woman, to want to start a career fucking in front of the camera. At least for men who decide to do it, there is the hope that they will not only get the opportunity to fuck countless hot chicks, but to get paid for it at the same time. Supposedly, this is every guy's dream. For women, however, I really don't see what they get out of it except for a little bit more money and perhaps the hope of eventual fame and fortune (which never happens by mainstream standards). I know in alot of BTS footage, when women are asked why they decided to do porn, alot of them say it was for the sex. But this makes no sense considering that these same women could still get alot of sex even if they weren't in porn, if that's what they really want. Of course, having a camera right in front of your face often has an effect on whether or not a person says what he/she really means.

Also, I think it has alot to do with a culture of immediate gratification. Nowadays, people only think about the here and now, and not what's going to happen 20, 30, or 40 years down the line. People figure that they'll just do some porn, make alot of money, and they'll be happy. Keeping in mind that alot of the newcomers to the business are quite young (the industry is making quite alot of money on the teen niche), these people really aren't thinking that the decisions they make now will affect the rest of their lives. In this culture, it's just all about get what you can get now while you're still young and beautiful, and forget about how it will impact your future, or even your present.

They can just move to Utah. Even if everybody recognizes them nobody will dare to admit it.

This game of Pin the Tail on the Troll is kind of like SNL. When it first started it was amusing, entertaining, and occasionally hysterical. Now it is a mere speck of dust drifting aimlessly through my attention span.

Jay worked at AVN.
Since he's not in the 'making the movies' part of the business, I really don't think that his ideas are brought forth from not wanting more competition.
