| kbee Member 84 Posts 12/06 |  Posted - Jun 5 2007 : 5:03AMDo pornstars find it hard to find work after doing porn in a field that pays a decent salary? Do they find it hard to work in a mainstream job without someone recognizing them and spreading the word around the job that they use to do porn? Then you will always have that one employee who will try to get you to have sex with them and if you don't they will let you know you are a pornstar. I would love to hear pornstars experiences when trying to find work outside of the porn industry with a decent salary. [Link] |

| deepudicks Deactivated User If The Good Times Did Not Last Then Believe Me Me The Bad Times Shall Also Passs 100 Posts 2/07 | Posted - Jun 5 2007 : 12:10PM Indeed the smart ones start feathering their nests from day one investing little on luxuries and focus on necessities...If they strike gold there is no looking back but if the writing on the wall says Kaput the smart ones move in other directions while the foolhardy hang on the fringes expecting a miracle to make them a star. With so many avenues open nobody has the time or inclination to follow a failure it's the successful and happening stars who are kept track of....So if an aspiring star fails to make it.The chances of his being noticed as an ex-star are slim unless he has it written across himself in his attitude..Whether their past is discovered or not that is something they shud learn to live with coz if you play with fire expect to get burnt...sooner of later,,,what's the big deal? Necessity is the mother of invention so if you fail to make it as a pornstar there is no saying you'll not be able to settle in the groove elsewhere...Who knows you could prove to be a hot and much in demand escort or a toyboy to some creaky socialite or turn professional...Unlimited avenues nobody said you have to do a 9 2 5 job in an office after failing to screw ur way to the top on camera huh?

| P3-2A Member 173 Posts 5/07 | Posted - Jun 5 2007 : 1:15PM I think its the other way around. The amount of material out there and the availability of it makes it more common that people know it. Like that teacher that got fired because she did porn when young. She wasn't a star and it looked like cheap porn and yet the kids were able to catch it and know about it thru the web and off she went.

| RandomPrecision Senior Member Enjoy! 8175 Posts 3/06 | Posted - Jun 5 2007 : 3:33PM I doubt they'd have many problem if they concentrated mainly on professions where nobody gives a shit if you sucked a cock or two in the past. [Link] |

| LubeNLuv Senior Member 1854 Posts 3/06 | Posted - Jun 6 2007 : 5:23PM And lets remember that many, if not MOST, porn stars can't clear $300K a year no matter how many scenes they shoot. By contrast, there are many jobs that require zero education to achieve $300K in earnings, although most require SERIOUS committment and work, plus some luck. Sales is the most obvious example. $300K a year is a great salary, more than many people will ever see. But for a 19-22 year old, it seldom lasts long. [Link] |
| TarynThomas Senior Member Taryn It Up 1013 Posts 2/05 | Posted - Jun 7 2007 : 12:39AM But unfortunately this "normal" life is not for me. I LOVE PORN!!! And over this year it has helped me to realise where I belong... And it is here in porno land... I love being fucked in my ass so hard it hurts and swallowing lots of cum, not to mention fingering guys asses and ummm well real life doesn't provide that for me. On a daily basis.. So I am where my heart is!!! HOLLA XoXoX- Taryn [Link] |
| imak Adult Film Legend 3345 Posts 2/04 | Posted - Jun 7 2007 : 12:59AM i really really like spending 90% of my time in the house, and I hate the thought of getting out of bed and getting dressed every day it's hard in that I really like having big piles of money with minimal effort [Link] |
| Porn Scout Deactivated User 3735 Posts 10/02 | Posted - Jun 7 2007 : 2:04AM But someone who pops in to porn valley for a month at 18 years old, and does 10-12 scenes, probably won't have anywhere near as much trouble leaving it behind. Obviously, there are exceptions to that. Some girls make a huge impression with just a few scenes. But, I think you get my point. Also, looks matter. Some girls look completely different after the makeup artist is done with them, to the point where most people wouldn't recognize them beforehand. Give it a few years for the face to change, maybe add a few pounds, maybe change the hairstyle, and you just wouldn't know them. [Link] |
| HarryWild Member Make me believe 622 Posts 2/05 | Posted - Jun 7 2007 : 5:51AM It kind of difficult not disclosing your work history especially if it is over a couple of year or more. I really depends on the type of work you are look for too! A police officer position for example, would be hard to obtain after you state you were in the adult movie industry as a performer. But other position might be a smooth transition. [Link] |
| Kimi Lixx Senior Member 2012 Posts 6/01 | Posted - Jun 7 2007 : 10:08AM It does all depend on the job you're going for. Nobody really cares what you did if you want to be a secretary, a retail store worker, a maid, a nurse, or any of many dozens of blue, grey and pink collar jobs. White collar jobs are a bit fussier, but even then plenty of those are open to sketchy pasts. As long as you're not working with children, in the political eye, or holding a position of moral authority, your past is behind you. It could make things uncomfortable for you, but it doesn't have to hold you down. Personally, I have found it exceptionally difficult to want to put in a 40 hour week to earn the same dollars I make in one day (or part of a day) in the adult entertainment industry. However, especially in the last 3 years, I've found my desire to do something different increasing. I've been in adult entertainment for almost 15 years, and, quite frankly, I'm bored out of my mind and I'm frustrated with the limitations. I want to do something else. I want to do something with my mind, not my body. I just wish my mind paid as well as my body. [Link] |
