Question
I'm 19 and I've always had a deep-seeded desire to be a pornstar.

I love sex, I love being enthusiastic about sex, and there's almost nothing I won't do.

I have a few questions I am sincerely hoping to get answered about this industry I've yet to find.

I'd like to know exactly how likely it is for a female adult pornstar to contract any sort of STD ranging from HPV to HIV. Obviously this would be a huge concern of mine.

My second question is about the general performance. While I can be very enthusiastic and know how to please a man or a woman I don't know if I can immediately be free around a camera and 30+ people. I'm shy so it will take time to warm me up. Is there any chance anyone would have the tolerance for me? or perhaps you have some tips to help me get a little friendlier with the camera faster?

My final and MOST important question is regarding porn and relationships. I have been dating my boyfriend for a little over 2 years. While he'd support me to an extent I don't feel I have the full go ahead. I think he'd be better with it if I started with modeling or started off doing pictures, masturbation, or something along those lines. Any help getting this figured out? Asking me not to try to get into porn is like asking him (an avid masturbater) to not masturbate! He is quite possibly one of the best men alive and I'd never risk losing him.

oh crap, one last question. any idea how the female adult film stars are treated in everyday life? I want to be a vet, would this be a problem down the road? stalkers? haters? any issues they don't tell you about?

sorry for such a long question, but I simply cannot find the answers anywhere!

thank you so much for the help.

Answer
STD questions should be referred to-

That is the "industry standard" place for questions relating to STD's in the adult biz.
Performance issues that is a double ended sword. Only because people generally get into this line of work for money……the next is their enjoyment of the actual sex act….if you don’t really like sex you time in adult will be short lived. So it then once again boils down to the money aspect end of it. If you want to make good $$$ you have to do as much as you are most comfortable with doing. So as I tell most women if you don’t like dick don’t do dick period. But if you like money you will have to eventually do dick! So as for some girls I see entering the biz they are doing this as a part time gig….then that’s fine stay doing what your into….but if it’s a matter of your rent/mortgage or car note…..the absolutely you will have to endure things that you most likely will not enjoy…that includes once again….dick. Now in any mature adult relationship you will have to make some choices and in this business one of them will be having sexual relations with either another man or a woman….but it is just sex….and not love it is only a job. If a person cannot differentiate between the two it is either they cannot simply conceive of the general idea or there is an underlying moral issue. So I myself understand the difference between the two because it is just work and while we may hang out/party or see each other casually off set we are not engaging in any other relationship outside of that what is strictly a working relationship.
Haters and Stalkers…..yeah in a weird way….its what is called being part of being a celebrity to a degree. So it will be the price you pay for your 15 minutes of fame.
