Question
Ok, I know you said you weren't able to help men get into the business but I was just wondering so bear with me. Ok one why is it the dudes I've watched on the screen all these years are always so much older? I know the limit for females is 18 but what is the limit for guys? 2. What do you think my chances of getting into the business if I not only plan to do sex scenes but I have experience in video and photography so when I'm not in front of the camera I can maybe be behind one? Just a thought, I've been trained to edit videos and photos on mac's.

Thanks, maurceese

Answer
This is a matter of a few things…….

A)   Straight and Gay Porn: In most Straight porn they are selling to a market that doesn’t care about who or what the male role is “played” by (what the guy looks like, age etc), as long is there is a hard penis in her mouth/vagina. This is because the audience that they are selling there smut to is only concerned with what the FEMALE looks like ONLY. Gay Porn however is always about the GUYS…so you can get whatever you’re looking for as far as men are concerned.
B)   Performance and Sales: Most performers who know how to operate their equipment are in most cases “older” and then you have specific niches that are related to men’s fantasies of being an older man and getting to have a younger woman. It always boils down to if a producer cant get the male talent to perform adequately he will have to replace him and the bottom line to anything related to profit is the bottom line…if it didn’t make sales and people didn’t buy it….it would not be on the shelves for long.
