About christina Cicchelli
Expertise
if you are seeking information on how to break into the adult industry, how to use pornography to enhance your sex life, how to find pornography that turns you on, and also how to make a living as an adult performer - then I'm the lady to speak to! Getting into the adult industry can be easy, but to survive in the industry and find the best direction for yourself in this field is essential. As a former porn actress, I understand the pitfalls and successes that the porn industry has to offer. Pornography is a business, one that is patronized by a majority of us - whether it's by downloading a piece of an adult movie or buying a book by Jenna Jameson. You, too, can become a part of this industry. But, avoiding the mistakes and scams will make it easier for you. Also, knowing the pay rate and how to successfully chart your career will help you stay focused while having fun on set. For those not interested in getting into porn, you might want to consider how adult films can help your sex life. Maybe you're searching for the right type of smut to satisfy you and/or your lover for a night, or maybe you want to make a private movie of your own. Contact me for help and guidance. PLEASE DON'T ASK ME ABOUT LEGALITIES, LICENSES, PERMITS, OR ABOUT WHAT YOU LEGALLY NEED TO START YOUR OWN PORN BUSINESS -- i will prove unhelpful. Sorry.

Question
Hello Christina, I am Sudarshan from India. I am 22 years old guy and currently doing engineering. Well I always wanted to get into porn industry but had no details from where do I start. Also pornography in Inida is not that much popular like other western countries. So can you please guide me in right way to get into this industry, thanks in advance.

Answer
Hello Sudarshan,

I really have no familiarity with the porn industry in India; however, I do have a friend who is currently visiting India so maybe I can ask her when she returns. Until then, what exactly are your intentions in the porn industry? How long would you like your career to be? Do you want make enough money to transition into another career? These are important questions to ask in regards to where you live. Traveling to America may work well in your favor because it may reduce the chance of you being noticed in India. This is no guarantee; it's just a reduced rate of exposure.

The process of breaking into the industry may be similar to that of people in the States. I suggest you watch lots of porn and make a list of the ones you enjoy and can see yourself in. Write down the names of the production company and the actors (preferably popular ones) and contact these sources. They may give you a clearer picture of how to start working in the porn industry in India. You can also ask them if you could sit in on a shoot to gauge your comfort level.

Hope this helps! If you want tips on how to break into the porn industry in the US, I've listed them in the same section where you would post questions.

Thanks!
