Question
Hi CC. I'm interested in working on film with transexuals. I am male and hoping to get some advice on how to go about contacting the right people in an effort to doing scenes with hot transexual ladies. Any advice you can give would be great.

Answer
Hi!

What I would suggest is to start watching more tranny porn. Millions of sites (both paying and free) can provide you with pictures, movies, and so forth. Find movies that attract you the most and find out which company produced that movie. There are also alternative sites like No Fauxx, that has a diverse crowd of performers in pictures and movies. When you contact these companies, make sure to stress that you want to perform in transsexual movies and you enjoy working with trans-ladies. You can also look for transsexual performers and find out who they worked for through adult imdb. Become familiar with this niche in the industry and get familiar with names and production companies.

As a male, some of the most important things you need in order to secure a job in porn is: 1) Great physique 2) Sizable penis and 3) the ability to get an erection, maintain it, and cum on command. While each porn actress has to change her look and body to stand out, the very best porn actors possess all three qualities. And, of course, you need to be punctual and have a positive attitude - a must for any work environment.

I have many people ask me how to get into the porn industry. Here are some things to consider:

***WHATEVER CRUDE AND NUDE IMAGES YOU POST ON THE INTERNET OR IS CAPTURED THROUGH FILM WILL BE ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE FOREVER***. So far, working amongst civilians, I haven't gotten a double look or "Have I seen you before...?" just yet. But, the more films you make, the higher the probability is that someone might find you. Also, if you plan on performing in porn just to get-rich-quick, remember the amount of money you make depends on how many scenes you'll perform in. Should you decide to become a doctor, lawyer, or run for office (or have any job that has social standing) then someone could easily destroy your career and life just by googling your stage name. Remember that.

Also consider how your family and loved ones might feel. I knew one former porn actor who was in a serious relationship with his girlfriend. She didn't want her family to know what he did. But, one night, a local dive bar played one of his movies on a projector, which would have been okay if it weren't for the fact that the girlfriend's brother was buying a beer at the time. He told his parents and drama ensued. It's up to you in terms of how honest you should be with your family, but really prioritize your life and make sure porn is worth it.  

Like any other business venture, you need to set goals for yourself. Trust me, the porn industry is filled with indulgence and excess. You need to have a strong head on your shoulders in order to maintain focus on your aspirations and succeed in making them come true.

Know Your Boundaries - My rule of thumb is this: If you haven't tried it in your personal life, don't try it for the first time in front of a camera. Some porn stars perform anal or do double penetration for the first time and are instantly turned on by it! Others have had bad experiences from first-time performances. You can't control your feelings after your first scene, so why not start with what you know? If you really want to try a new sex stunt on camera, then befriend some talent beforehand and privately experiment together.

Get Tested As Much As You Can! This is the first thing you should do before performing in front of the camera. Go to a clinic or healthcare facility and get checked for HIV and STDs. If you live in Los Angeles, AIM Healthcare works for the adult industry. If you don't, then find a place that will get you a typed-up copy of the results. Bring those results with you to your first shoot. Most importantly, ask the pornographer to show you copies of everyone else's test results. If he can't produce, then leave immediately.

I know I'm like a parrot repeating this creed, but this is what you should do first and foremost before landing your first gig.

Good luck with the industry!
