Yeah, that's what sucks about the higher budget movies. It's all acted out, and everyone hams it up so much that it starts to just sound funny. Amateur video FTW.

Male pornstars generally start out in gay films.

As for enjoying it? We can all guess but that's not saying much. In the end, it's a job. It's not love, it's not romantic, and you're in a room full of people with constant breaks in the scene and between scenes. It's just a job. Ever had sober sex on a first date with someone you just met? You can probably relate to some extent then.

Is this really true? I can't imagine there would be many male porn stars if it was. Does anyone have proof of this?

I don't know about that, but there was some magazine (Time, People, I really can't remember) where they had an article on Porn movies. Apparently, you can make boo-koo money compared to normal porn because of the lack of males willing to do gay films.

I'd say 99.9% is completely fake and just a job. Then there are the real nymphos -- not the ones that act like them -- that probably actually do enjoy what they are doing. I'd also guess that the women who produce / direct some of their own films enjoy what they do. Nina Hartley for example has plenty of money and does not need to do any films. She owns the production company and still participates in some of the movies she makes, that tells me she likes it. That's why REAL amateur stuff is entertaining, the pro stuff is just a bunch of people acting badly.

And it gets worse then when they dub the stuff. That's just lame.

that is not true at all, gay male porn stars do make much more money typically then straight males ones. So, some of the straight males do gay porn to put cash in the bank.

HBO has a special on gay male porn stars, one always had his wife with him on set cheering him on. He claimed he was 100% straight, and always had to take Viagra to get it up for his gay scenes. It was weird and interesting.

To say "most" or even "a lot" of males do gay porn is absurd tho.

I imagine after awhile it becomes rather uninteresting, and possibly boring.

I've wondered if they have decent sex lives outside the studio, or if they are so tired of doing it all the time that the SO tends not to get any.

That, and they don't need to have an orgasm for me to enjoy sex.

Fixed

Both me and my roomate are both involved in different aspects of the adult entertainment industry so I can say for certain: A majority of the girls love sex that is why they are porn stars....whether or not they are really getting off as in reaching climax may not always be real but they are deffinitely enjoying it. Also not all porn stars like girls as well. In the majority of cases males in the porn industry have to pay there dues as they say. meaning they must first do gay stuff before they would be considered for straight porn. Also they get paid less for straight porn.

Also being a male porn star isn't all glamor. you have to be able to get hard on command, finish on command all the while with about half a dozen fat men with cameras and lights all around you.

How the hell would anyone on this forum know the answer to that? :confused:

I'm assuming the men do...it's pretty hard to fake a male orgasm.

don't know how common it is as I don't watch much porn really, but men do fake the O sometimes, I've seen movies where when he finished it was obviously not real. Maybe they do this in cases where the man just can't finish the job, or they need to hurry up.

Seeing as how I've only ever met one porn star, I'm going to guess that it's pretty much 50/50...

Ummm I guess you are watching some softcore porn if you aren't sure whether or not the man finishes for real or not, because in hardcore when they finish for real ... you can usually tell by the look (and "stuff) on the chicks face.
