Question
Obviously there's lots of different types of porn. If I were looking to get into something basic, male on female, something along the lines of that, are there any requirements? Does height, weight, penis size or anything come into effect. I can only assume it all depends on who your working for, what they're looking for, what kind of porn, but are there any basic requirements?

Answer
Male performers must be physically attractive, so height, weight, and basic good looks are important attributes. Penis size is also important to a male performer with 8 -10 inches being a reasonable average.

However, there is much more to being a male performer than that just good looks and a nice package. Maturity, self control, and the ability to accept the fact he is little more than a "stage prop" are also  required to be a successful male performer.

Unfortunately, there is an abundance of men wanting to be male porn stars. So many in fact, that the supply is much bigger than the demand, therefore the odds of actually finding work in this industry are very slim for men. Of the thousands of men who make the attempt each year...less than a doze will actually be successful as male performers.
