Question
Im 18 years old, i live in florida and i want to get into porn. but the problem is i dont know where to look, or who to talk to about it.. i could really use some help on this because i really would love to get into all that.

Answer
This is a common question - I've copied my previous response below:

It is very difficult as a male to get into this business, as the competition is high and it is much more difficult than you might imagine.

I recommend you check out http://www.xbiz.com/articles/96185/becoming+film+star+2008 and consider picking up the video.  It's a real eye-opener for any guy who thinks he can make it in this business.

Your better bet is to consider starting you own adult film production company to give yourself some exposure.  Check out www.theadultbusinessformula.com for some great information.
