Adult Film/Problems with doing porn?

Advertisement


Question
I'm in college and have received several offers to do porn. I have no problem doing it and could use the money, but I'm concerned about how this might affect me getting a good job after college. Is there a way this could mess up those chances, and how or how not?

Answer
Alex, I think if you're asking the question you probably already know the answer.  It really depends on the type of job you may get after college.  I can't tell from your name whether you're a male or female, but in many gonzo and amateur style videos, the identify of the male is not known.  That may be an option for you.  Remember, once the video is completed, it is out in the world forever.
