Some notes for JohnnyNoName
# In bodybuilding the guys at the top do well, but the guys at the bottom often have a rough time making a living. Is it the same for male actors in heterosexual adult films?
I've been earning over 6 figures for 2 out of the 4 years I've been in the business. But I'm lucky. There are maybe 4 or 5 guys who make similar money in the business.
There are guys who make decent money because in porn you've got guys who are established. They're working 3 or 4 scenes a week at about $500 a scene. That's good money compared to the general household income in the United States. All things considered though, it's fast money. Fast money is easy-come, easy-go. So these porn stars may not be living the sustained lives with strong foundations that people earning similar money in quote-unquote "legitimate" jobs are. I'll be honest with you man: there is rampant drug use in this game!
# You mean recreational drug use?
Like you wouldn't believe. The tolerance for this is disgusting. It's despicable how you can see a girl come into this business and 3 months later she's lost weight, her tits are deflated, her ass is gone. I've seen guys in this business lose it all because of drugs. My take is this: if you know a certain drug is going to fuck up your livelihood, why do it?
# Right. Stay away from it!
Exactly. But this is a business that attracts people who are weak minded. Take weak-minded people, fast money and the opportunity to abuse recreational drugs and you've got a terrible combination. People don't remember that there is life after porno.
