Question
I am 22 years old and I am looking into doing some adult films.  I consider myself to be very attractive, however I am a full-figured woman.  I know that porn caters to people with all sorts of fetishes, and obviously there is a spot for fat girls.  I live close to Miami and I can't imagine there not being any connections there. My first question is, do you think there is a big enough market for full-figured women porn and is there a specific company I should be contacting in South Florida?

Answer
Hi Jamie,

There is in fact a modest market for full figured women; however, I am not aware of any companies that specifically "specialize” in making such films.

I would suggest you start by contacting a few reputable Adult Talent Agencies and speaking to them about your interest in the Adult Entertainment Industry. I recommend you start with these:

http://www.alisttalent.com
http://www.adulttalentmanagers.com
http://www.goldstarmodeling.com
http://www.lisaannstalentmanagement.com
http://www.type9models.com
http://www.worldmodeling.com

These are reputable Agencies and their websites have all the information necessary to put you in contact with a representative. These Agencies only work with equally reputable Production companies thus greatly increasing your chances of success. If this is something you are serious about, get yourself signed with an Agency and let them get you started on the right track.

For your own safety I would also STRONGLY advise you to avoid placing and/or answering ads on sites like xpeeps.com, craigslist.com and backpage.com looking for work. These, and many similar, sites are common playgrounds for all manner of predator and are honestly never used by legitimate Adult Industry Professionals to any real extent.

You should also know that while it’s true there are companies shooting porn on a daily basis in Florida, they are NOT doing so legally. The production of Adult Material is actually ILLEGAL in the stat of Florida and your participation in one of these shoots could land you in jail on charges related to prostitution. I would advise caution before agreeing to take part in a shoot anywhere in Florida.

Good Luck
