I've always been curious about some things...

I don't need actual amounts, but do porn stars who are into Gonzo porn make more money then the ones in regular (Vivid etc) stuff?

I can't figure it out since in Vivid/other titles they are usually required to act (or try) but in Gonzo stuff it seems like they would get paid for the more extreme stuff they do like double anal, anal, Creampies, Double Penetration etc.

Is it normal for a porn star to get paid a flat rate for each movie or just based on what type of sex scenes are in the movie? Like i'll assume if they swallow a glass of cum they'll get a huge pay increase for that scene.

Who do you think is the highest paid porn star now? I'm guessing probably Jenna Jameson since practically everyone knows about him.

Also, why is it that nearly everyone in the world seems to know who Ron Jeremy is but yet they don't really watch porn?

Do female porn stars really use enemas to clean out their ass before a shoot? Please, I hope so. But I heard this somewhere. I can't imagine they'd do it without it. I don't want to see shit on dicks.

EVERYONE has seen a porno at least once.. and chances are, Ron Jeremy's fat ass was in it somewhere. Plus he's done some bit parts in mainstream movies (like Orgazmo, a hilarious movie about the porn biz.)

Ron Jeremy was on the freakin' Surreal Life show on the WB for kripes sake - with Tammy Faye to boot. He's like a household name now.

He would make a great Santa Clause! TMD5, I have often wondered the same questions you have asked. It would be great if there were some answers.

tmd5 - to answer your questions in order:

1. The rate is usually based on the scene not the type of movie. So if a girl does a straight sex scene in a feature her rate is usually the same if it was a straight sex scene in a gonzo. Depending on what is involved. The reason most people say the "gonzo" girls make more money isn't necessarily that their rate is higher it is the amount of time involved. I have seen them shoot a gonzo scene beginning to end in under two hours while a feature may require the girl to be on set for 12+ hours but her rate is still the same. Unfortunately to say X girl did double anal so she must have gotten paid more than Y girl who only did an anal scene is not always true. It depends on the girl and how much she charges. Gonzo girls tend to be newer and therefore tend to have lower rates then the more established women.

2. Hard to say. If you are talking salary (i.e. contract girls only) then Jenna would be a good guess but there is really no way to know.

3. Because Ron is everywhere.

4. Yes enema's are used. Not very nice to have a nasty surprise on the pull out shot.

I was wondering when you were going to pop in (no pun intended) and give some info Lee! Thanks! I have seen quite a few porns from the 80's and early 90's that had surprises occur during the pull out hence the word "mashing potato's". Kind of sick but brings realistic touch to it..lol. I am glad though that this is much less common now-a-days.

tmd5,

Yes PornChicks can make A LOT more money in Hardcore(Gonzo) than they can under contract to a company. There are a lot of factors that go into it, but I'm going to try to lay them out. PornChicks are fooled by the seemingly large sum of money a company throws at them in a contract. I believe Jenna once talked about $100,000+ and I saw Savanna Samson(I think it was) on Howard Stern say her contract was $90,000, but those are top level PornChicks. Most I would believe are in the $30,000 to $60,000 range and usually are for 8 films or so, but the company has a lot of strings attached to these contracts. Things like anytime the PornChick does some feature dancing or personal appearances the company gets a cut, they can't get nude on TV(watch Howard Stern reruns of Vivid girls & Tera Patrick), they have to be the life of company parties which a lot of times include drugs & alcohol, & lately Tera Patrick has brought up the name ownership issue which comes from the company putting stuff in the contract that once signed the company owns the PornChicks name forever. The PornChicks are basically owned by the company. I have to say though it use to be just a PornChick problem, but now I'm finding out the major PornGuys are starting to fall into the contract traps. If Pornstars don't stop signing these contracts we are going to end up with no major Pornstar pairings. The major PornChicks will be signed to the fluffy feature companies doing unknown &/or unliked PornGuys while the major PornGuys will be signed to the up & cumming hardcore companies doing the less known &/or less attractive PornChicks.

As far as flat rates. PornChicks use to do it the way your imagining, but I think they started realizing that Porn producers/directors would hire them for basic straight vaginal sex, then once the girls got on set haggle them to do more stuff. That's why now most do the flat rate and just adjust it for how much they are willing to do.

Like I said above the highest paid PornChick is whichever 1 is churning out the most hardcore scenes, but that is hard to figure out. If we're going by upfront money it has to either be Savanna Samson, or 1 of the Digital Playground girls Jesse Jane or Devon. I know Jenna or Tera Patrick come to mind, but now they are more company owners than Pornstars.

Ron Jeremy is just everywhere. I can't speak for the world, but atleast in America he is. He's been mentioned countless times in rock music, Sublime, Kid Rock, Tommy Lee, etc. etc. He did "The Surreal Life 2" reality show. You can't watch TV late at night without him pushing some boner pill(sex talk, extenze, vig rx). Also he is always contributing to E! true hollywood stories & VH1 behind the scenes style documentary shows.

Finally about PornChicks in Anal scenes. They really keep it very hush hush(quiet), but some have said it's a major process. Using common sense I assume it's a combination of laxative, enema, prescene shower anus swabbing, & I wouldn't be shocked if there is a liquid diet 24 hours prior to the scene.

WOW! My fingers hurt!

The LA Times did an investigative piece on VIVID about two years ago and got its hands on some VIVID Girl contracts. Suprisingly low, as low as $30,000. Some get more - $90,000 i remember being mentioned.

New girls do NOT make less than established girls - the exact opposite. New girls are the most precious commodity in the business. $800 standard, some get $900 and $1000. Once the bloom is off the rose and a girl is no longer 'new', unless she's made herself very popular,things slow down and then they are on the hunt for work and will work for less than $800 a scene. Shooters get calls all the time from girls desperate for work/money - you can get them as low as $300 but i'd say $500 is average for girls of that type. You will not get a fresh new girl from an agent for less than $800 until she has shot for alot of people. We don't take advantage of girls who are desperate - I know girls who have done scenes for $300-400 for people I know and if we can use them when they call we will still pay them fairly, $600-700.

Gir;s are paid by the sex acts they are to do on a shoot.
Amount of time for the shoot counts for nothing. A girl can be on set for a feature company for 12 hours and will get paid exactly the same as she would shooting for a gonzo company or Internet shooter if it's the same sex act(s).Girls can do two, even three, gonzo shoots in a day. No girl other than Jenna has more earning power than a hot new young girl willing to do it all - she can be booked for months on end - look at Teagan's first few months in the business. $30,000 a month easy - I know of a contract girl who made $36,000 the month before she signed her contract.

Selena Silver can break down the standard rates for various gigs better than me. We rarely do anything more than straight b/g cuz friggin web companies are cheap.

i always wonder if girls who do the really hardcore throat fucking/gagging videos get more than the standard bj rate and how much more if they do. Also A2M, is that extra on top of the standard rate for anal scenes? Anal is $3-400 more than vaginal.Double anal, dp is more but not sure how much. Also not sure how much extra they get for a BBG scene if there's no dp or daps. No idea if there's extra money for creampies. Swallowing cum, cum play, cum swapping - not sure if they get more than standard bj rate which is pretty low - $250-300. I know we paid Alicia Rhodes $200 more to do a bj video with spanking.

Actually, no, it's not a major process.

Obviously, you have not had anal sex yet. The cavity that is directly behind the anal sphincter is not used for storage; it is simply a passageway and nothing is usually there. Even without the enema, it's not all that messy. Sometimes things are a bit messy than one would hope for, but that's far more the exception, rather than the rule.

There's nothing secret about process; it's just not very photogenic. The behind-the-scenes footage for several movies I've seen have mentioned that the enemas are tap water. They use dildos or butt plugs to make sure that everything comes out clean, but there's nothing more to it, just lots of lube.

OK cv,

I don't wanna be too harsh, but....WHAT THE F@#k! You basically insulted me, called me a liar, then pulled some crap out your a$$(pun intended). I can't tell you how many times I've seen PornChicks go on Howard Stern and talked about this. The question is usually "So how do you get ready for an Anal scene?" the answers always given are.... "It's a secret" "It's a long process, let's just say it takes a lot of hard work". Most odd of all is after putting down my reply to somebody else you basically backed up my point with different wording.

Needing to take a nap before I blow the roof off this motha!

AC,

cv said nothing wrong, nor anything that wasn't based on solid fact. Lastly, he did not insult you in any way.

In my estimation, it's you who needs to calm down.

OK MLyons,

I wasn't the one who started the topic, but if you read cv's reply you would think I started the topic saying "duuuuh does da poop come out da butt wen day do dat anel stuf". quote AC Cream: OBVIOUSLY you haven't had anal sex yet.(Insult) AC Cream It's no secret & It's not a major process, when I've heard it said with my own 2 ears(Calling me a liar). I may be over reacting a little, but if I just let these things go and people read this topic if later I try to help them with something in their mind their gonna think "this is probably BS cause cv blasted him in that other topic(even with cv being bogus)". Just trying to keep my Forum cred from being damaged by some inconsiderate person.

That's All, on to some better topics with other respectful people like me.

I remember reading an interview with Nikita Denise, where she said that she doesn't use enema, that she just washes it with warm soapy water, and that's it.

weve had topics on this before, every porn chick is diffrent and girls prep diffrent. no one i knows eats 12 hrs before a scene,although i have been told some girls do,i stayed with as many as 9 anal girls at a time and i am sure they will all tell you its not just a little easy process, sometimes my enema can take as long as 2 hours, and i always budget that much for it.

I'm sure you could recruit some helpers. Ever prepare with an audience?

Kami,

Thank You for replying. I hated to get so angry in the Forums, but I knew I had heard numerous girls say it was a major process and my common sense told me not eating before a scene may be involved. Having you back my reply up with some real Pornstar insight is allowing me to relax and let the issue go, so now I can move on and go back to helping and contributing to other topics.

Thanks Again Kami ,

Hey TMD,

Regarding the amount of money, it's usually based on a
"Per Scene" basis. Most Porn Actress' get paid a
flat rate per scene, only a few women get the chance
to grab a Royalty or % of the DVD Sales.

Sure, when you do Extreme type scenes, you'll get
paid a higher rate based on the "Level of Difficulty."
Of course, if an actress is marketable enough
(Tera Patrick/Jenna Jameson)then there's no need
to do extreme acts because these girls sell based
on their name alone.

Yes, enema's galore; they use them all the time.
And I do agree with you, no need to see the brown
stains.

I'm glad to read about talent being treated fairly!
What studio(s) are you shooting for?

If a girls good enough to put in front of the camera, she deserves to be paid fairly.
I detest taking advantage of people... particularly when they have problems and need the money.

BTW, if a girl is so desperate for money that she will work for what amounts to turning tricks on camera, ya think she just might have a drug problem?
The creeps that exploit these girls need to be exposed.
For one thing, a druggie is probably turning tricks outside the industry too and exposing everybody to potential risks... including STDs and HIV.

I personally prefer girls on a career path in porn.
And, for whatever it's worth, studios that treat talent well and help nurture careers are the ones I prefer to spend my money with.

Next rant: studios and producers who bounce checks.

That's crazy to think a lot of stars only make around 1k a scene. So technically I could get a digital camera, come up with 3k and shoot a 1-2 hour POV session with Teagan or Jenna Haze, or hell, Teagan & Jenna Haze!

I could call it Teagan vs. Jenna POV.


I would have tons of dirty talk, lots of clothes fetish type banging. Different locations and positions. It would be great!!! Then sell it to Evil Angel for around 5k, asking for a percentage of sales for me, Teagan and Jenna.

Thanks guys! I better get started!!!!!

Ya you could. BUT...you wouldn't be working with any reputable girls or agencies. Most of them will only let their girls work with "known" directors, producers, studios, etc.

But like I said...you could just take an add out in LA Weekly or something for a casting call but I'd be afraid of what would be showing up.

I'm not putting my shiet in that!!!
