....I heard men are paid more for gay sex and less for hetero.

Then automatically the scales get tilted as follows :

1. Men are paid less for hetero scenes.

2. Men are paid even less for scenes involving two women.

3. Women are paid more for scenes involving men.

4. Women are paid less for pure lesbian movies.

Am I correct in assuming these scenarios? So automatically the porn industry is sexist in nature.

But women are paid FAR more than men, period. Whether straight or not.

I'm assuming it has something to do with the fact that there's 8 bazillion guys that would be willing to do that job, and only so many women. Supply and demand.

How is it any different then say what sports players make?

For instance quarterbacks tend to make more then versus lets say a defender.

The more time you have the ball in your... hand the more you make. ;)

depends on the company and the actor and the market of the video i bet.
if its a very hot actress doing a big company release then i'm sure they get paid decent amount.

as for gay, i'd assume they get paid less:p unless its some hetro guy who happens to be on high gay demand somehow.

There seems to be less stigma for gay woman then gay men, so yea I think RocksteadyDotNet is on to something.

I think there are also less men willing to take it up the ass than there are women willing to eat some vag.

on a side note I hung out with a gay porn star once. I will leave him unnamed but he has a big following and a hot girlfriend, didn't know it at the time but found out later. I guess he makes a shitload of money, though.

I saw this MTV special last weekend where some straight guy went to be a gay porn actor and was coming home to tell his family for the first time.

He said he hated his life doing it.

supply of quality performers and demand by consumers probably dictates pay.

supply of quality performers willing to do girl on girl is probably not a problem, but the demand for such scenes isn't as high as full hetero intercourse, so the pay is lower because these scenes sell less.

supply of quality male performers willing to do gay scenes is probably really low and demand is probably moderate or growing, so the pay is greater.

but i've also heard that porn for female performers is starting to pay less and less because there are so many girls who want to get into porn now, unless you're one of those bombshell sex kittens. one of my friends said she wasn't interested in porn because it has gotten to the point where the pay isn't enough to outweigh the social consequences, the possible loss of future "legitamite" job prospects if you're identified as an adult performer, and the rapid decrease in one's marketability as one ages.

I would love to direct/produce/edit

I hear you make good money and it doesn't tarnish your rep/image in future careers.
