Question
What's the average wage that free lance, non contract stars make (male & female) pre scene, movie, box cover?

Answer
Wesley,

Thanks for writing. Having never worked in the adult film industry, I would not consider myself an expert in the adult film area. What I do know from what I read is that male adult film performers make a considerable amount less than female adult film performers make.

You might try surfing the internet with your question as you'll probably find the answer out there. Or consider writing to an adult film star and asking their opinion. Finally, one of the most popular talent agencies for adult film performers is called World Modeling Agency in Van Nuys, CA. You might pose your question to them.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
