"Stamina is more important than size for sure."
There’s a point in nearly every man’s life when he thinks to himself, I wonder if I could become a porn star. Wait, how do you become a porn star?
There are many, many misconceptions that people have about the adult industry. Chief among them is that it’s an easy gig: we love the idea of a job where all you have to do is show up, take off your clothes, and have sex all day. And while that’s a large part of it, there’s a lot more to doing porn than just showing up—particularly for dudes.
Of course, you need to be well-endowed— like super well-endowed —but you also need to have the stamina to perform for hours under hot lights. That 27-minute clip you watched on Pornhub? That likely took an entire day to shoot—or at least multiple hours. You also need to be able to perform with a dozen crew members watching. As for the pay , it’s not nearly as good as you think it is unless you’re one of the top porn stars in the world. (Although with the rise of personal content subscription services like Onlyfans and JustforFans, some adult performers are starting to make five figures a month .)
So for those guys who think they’re ready to march into a porno production company in the San Fernando Valley and plop their members on the casting agent’s table, here’s what you need to know about becoming a male porn star.
A lot of guys ask male porn stars how to break into the industry, which is a fair question: after all, there’s no LinkedIn or Indeed.com for male porn stars, right? But Ryan Driller (above), who has performed in porn for nearly a decade, says that guys are at a major disadvantage when it comes to entering the industry. “It’s all dumb luck,” he told MensHealth.com. “You can’t ask another guy to get you in. You can’t ask studios to try out you. You can’t get a girl to bring you in. Most of the time.”
Not every guy has this experience . Aaron “Small Hands” Thompson , for instance, entered the industry through his wife, porn star (and MensHealth.com contributor) Joanna Angel , who tapped him to perform with her for her website Burning Angel. “Basically I became a male pornstar because it was ‘free labor’ for my wife,” he told MensHealth.com . But if you don’t have the benefit of waking up every morning next to one of the most popular female performers in the industry, you’re probably out of luck.
When it comes to straight porn, directors only want a few simple things from male performers: “They want to know that you can get hard, last the time required, give them the performance that they want, and pop when they need you to,” says Driller. “Your face, your look, etc. are all not important.”
Sounds easy, right? Well, not so much. Driller says that even though most guys think they’d be able to perform on a porn set, more often than not that’s not the case. So while you may think that you can get hard and stay hard with dozens of people watching, “you don’t actually know until you’re there. That stage fright is why new guys only get their shot on a last-minute, dire-need try out basis... no one is really willing to take a gamble on whether or not you’ll be able to perform in the setting needed.”
If you’re a porn actor, you have to, well, act. While that might not seem obvious from some of the more low-budget clips you’ve probably seen on Pornhub, at the very least, you have to be able to adapt to the demands of different kinds of scenes.
“Some scenes are more challenging than others,” says Driller. “ Virtual reality (VR) scenes are an animal all their own, given the equipment needed, and the lack of connection between you and your costar. And feature movies are a different beast depending on the script. Everything is always different, so that means you have to be on your toes.”
A major myth that Thompson always tries to dispel is that working in porn is all about having incredible sex with attractive people. But in truth, that’s only a small part of the job, particularly if you run your own production company, as he does with Angel. “The reality is you’re going to bed early, working out, eating clean, walking the dog, making dinner for your wife, doing post-production, editing, cleaning up dog poop, writing music for the movie soundtracks… it’s work, work, work,” he says.
On the other hand...you’re having incredible sex with attractive people every day. “I love it. I love sex,” Driller says. “When you break it down, or how I look at it, my day at work is a scheduled booty call.”
For many guys, this is the ultimate question: do you need to have a large penis to work in porn?
While you don’t necessarily have to look like you’re smuggling an anaconda in your shorts every time you go to the beach, it probably helps if you’re slightly larger than average. “I won't say you need a big dick,” Thompson says, “but I will say if it's small, your chances of making it are… smaller.”
Part of that has to do with the sheer mechanics of shooting sex on film. “Most of the guys in the industry are not huge,” says Driller. “They’re probably around the 7" to 8” mark, [because] sex on film is not what you do at home. Think about spoon sex. It feels great for both people, but for porn she has to be arched, and spread, and twisted, and you’re shoved behind her in the back of the couch. An average-sized penis simply would not allow for any of the sex to be visible.”
Ultimately, both performers agree that it’s way more important to have a ton of endurance than it is to be well-endowed. “Stamina is more important [than size] for sure,” Driller says. Guys have to stay hard for hours at a time, which means that even if they naturally have a lot of stamina, they often have to resort to drugs like Viagra or Cialis to keep them going. Some men even resort to getting injections in their penis .
You might think that it would be awesome to have sex with gorgeous women for a living. But the unfortunate reality is, doing sex work comes with a lot of stigma for men and women alike — and that stigma will follow you around for the rest of your life, even if you leave the industry and get another job.
“Performing in porn is a forever thing,” says Driller, “I knew that I was closing a lot of doors in pursuing the industry.” It’s not uncommon to hear about schools refusing to let former porn performers teach there , or banks denying people in the industry as clients.
Even if you don’t encounter any outright discrimination, people are likely to treat you differently. “You’ll notice that most people won’t take you as seriously in conversation after they know your profession and then they hypersexualize everything,” says Driller. “You’re really only supposed to be able to discuss sex or have sex, and you’re not expected to have any other opinions.”
Like any career, being a male porn performer comes with pluses and minuses: low pay, health risks, long hours. But in the end, both Driller and Thompson say they have no regrets, because they’re being paid to do something they love. So what if that happens to be sex?!
For those well-endowed dudes who are ready to head out to Hollywood, keep in mind that it’s not a constant party, and that the road to stardom will be arduous. Still, Thompson says that all things considered, if there are any real drawbacks, “I haven't come across them yet!”
You might not be feeling gung-ho on becoming a porn star after reading about the work (and dumb luck) it takes, but know there’s now another option: sites like Onlyfans. They’re definitely easier to break into, as anyone can make an account. You don’t need to perform in front of a whole film crew, which takes some of the pressure off—but you do, however, need to be in charge of shooting and editing your own videos.
Nick Alverez , a Just For Fans Exclusive Model, started his JFF two years ago after another sexy Instagrammer friend told him that he could be making serious money. “I was surprised how easy it was to create an account with them, and after posting a couple of videos I was already making some money,” he says.
That said, it’s still hard work to grow a following, especially with the oversaturation of models on these platforms due to COVID-19-related layoffs. You have to continuously put out content and engage with your fans.
“The key is posting good quality videos while also being real,” says Nick. “People are looking for more realistic sex scenes with OF/JFF—ones where they feel like they’re in your room and have a personal connection with you.”
Nick, who currently has 37k followers on Instagram and 23k followers on Twitter , says connecting with potential subscribers on social media is key to success on these platforms. “The number of followers you have is going to influence the number of subscribers you get, so my advice for anyone that wants to start earning money with OF/JFF is to get a bigger audience on social media.”
He's making good money these days, though he didn’t specify how much. “I can tell you I make a lot more money than I do being a graphic designer, which is my 9-5,” he says.
Nick believes that these platforms have revolutionized the porn industry. “If being a porn star was your dream, now you don't have to wait for a porn producer to call you back after a casting call, and you don't have to have a specific body type,” he says. “Anyone can do it.”

Your guide to intense sex, more orgasms & a deeply passionate relationship
This discreet newsletter will teach you how to give him freaky oral sex & make him scream your name in bed. Click here to get it .
Many people will never wonder how to become a porn a porn star. This article is not for them. But if you ever wondered if you could have sex on film for money or how, then read on. We’ve got tips to help set you on your way and some warnings you might not consider when thinking about how to become a porn star.
It’s not hard to see what the mainstream porn industry wants in a star. You probably think the typical porn actress is blonde, has a large chest and butt, yet she remains thin at the waist. There’s a reason why this is a stereotype; about 1/3 of porn’s leading women are blonde . Think Jenna Jameson, one of the best-known porn stars. However, there are actually more brunettes making adult films than blondes.
Side Note: I put together this in-depth assesment that will uncover just how good you are at giving oral sex and satisfying your man. It may uncover some uncomfortable truths, or you may discover that you are already a queen at giving blow jobs. Click here to take my quick (and shockingly accurate) “Blow Job Skills” assessment right now and find out how good your blow job skills really are...
Just because you have the right build doesn’t mean you’re going to make it in porn star land, however! This is especially true if a casting director is looking for something unique. He or she might be looking to avoid the typical busty blonde who dresses sexy for someone who looks a little more homegrown.
There are yet other considerations. Breaking into porn is especially difficult for women of color. Over 70% of female performers are white, with black women making up the next largest demographic. And despite the number of people who fetishize Asian women, it appears that they only make up approximately 5% of the lady porn star population!
All this might not matter if you don’t have the right look though. Porn stars have spent thousands, if not millions, of dollars on getting breast enhancements (and reductions), tucks and lifts of all kinds. They work out and follow advice to make breasts look awesome .
The news is even bleaker for trans women, whose role in mainstream porn is relegated to the fetishized “tranny.” Of course, many people find this tasteless, and no one would blame a trans woman who thinks the same
Although there are trends and stereotypes that you can expect from porn, especially mainstream porn, the industry is changing – albeit, slowly. Indie porn producers are looking for new and unique faces and bodies. These include trans porn stars, plus-sized actors, men and women with body modifications and other traits that set them apart. The body positive movement has lead to more varied porn, but there’s still enough competition that you might find it hard to land a big role.

Just like aspiring actors and directors flock to Hollywood, so, too, do young starlets make their trek to California (and many of them were born there to begin with) with the intent of breaking into porn. This is where most of the porn studios are, and you’re going to find it difficult to be taken seriously if you don’t move to L.A. This brings its own challenges, including the higher cost of living. If you cannot already support yourself in California with your existing career, then you’re probably going to suffer while you try to get your pornography career going.
However, stricter rules about condom usage mean that some studios are taking their business elsewhere. For example, Las Vegas has seen an increase in porn production, but it’s also an expensive place to live.
You could also consider Miami as your base. But in most cases, you’ve got to go to the action and not the other way around. That’s key when it comes to become a porn star.
The porn industry actually uses fairly typical pay scales in straight flicks. This means you can expect to make:
Thus, the more you’re willing to do on camera, the more you’ll make. However, don’t expect to make it rich. While women in porn could expect to make $100,000 annually, the number has dropped. It’s more likely that you’ll make $40,000 to $50,000 per year unless you manage to become a household name. Keep in mind that you’ll wind up paying 10% to 15% to an agent, if you have one, and there may be other hidden fees, such as paying for routine STI testing. Source .
That’s not the “easy money” that most people expect when they think of doing porn, and your current day job might already have that beat!
If you are new here, then you may want to take the quiz below to learn how good you are at giving oral sex and satisfying your man. You may discover you that you suck (pun intended) or that you are already a blow job queen.
Interestingly enough, popularly male performers tend to make more than their female contemporaries.
Our last warning is about how fleeting stardom can be for a porn star. For every Jenna Jameson, Sasha Grey or Stoya, there are thousands of porn stars who never become the leading women. They certainly don’t get to go on to do it time and again. And even for those who do gain some notoriety, a career in porn isn’t going to span decades like it can for a regular actor. Jenna Jameson, for example, was only active in the industry for about 10 years before she announced her retirement. Although the fame led to other gigs, including reality TV show hosting and acting in films, there’s only one Jenna!
In reality, most porn stars see an average career length of six to 18 months. Don’t get us wrong, however: a porn star can film a lot of scenes or films during those months!
There are a number of reasons why porn careers tend to be to shortlived:
But maybe you just want to get into porn for a brief stint. Perhaps you’ve got cash in the bank, so it doesn’t matter whether you make it or break it. Here’s what you have to do (assuming you’ve got the body, the time and you’re in the right location!).
Your photos will be one of the first things potential agents and directors know you from. Be prepared to take high-quality photos of yourself both naked and clothed. it takes more confidence to do porn than it does to ride your man . If you can’t strip in front of a single photographer, you’re not going to do so well in a brightly-lit room full of production staff. Check out the tips to take a sexy selfie because a lot of that advice can be used here.
Casting calls are going to look for actors who are willing to do certain scenes. This correlates directly to pay, as discussed above. So you’ll need to know what you’re willing to do and let your agent know, too!
Yup! Just like you would in Hollywood. It’s probably not the same agent that Jennifer Lawrence has, but that’s okay. Agents such as Mark Spiegler are higher profile, but you’ll find plenty of talent agencies dedicate to porn like Flis, OC Modeling, East Coast Talent or ATM LA.
A quick Google search reveals dozens of agencies dedicated solely to porn. An agent might seem expensive to the newbie who wants all her money to herself, but it’s a wise move, especially if you’re not familiar with the porn industry. A reputable agent can help you find gigs with better working conditions and pay while someone who is less scrupulous could lead you to low-paying jobs and even risky situations!
You can certainly keep an eye out for casting calls on your own, but beware of Craigslist and other online postings that might not be legitimate.
You and many other potential actors are going to apply for any jobs you’re interested in. Realize that you will get a lot of rejections, especially if you’re an amateur or if you don’t fit the vision for the movie.
Whether it’s you or an agent speaking on your behalf, you’ll need to let the producer know what your limits are. If you aren’t okay with girl-on-girl scenes, anal sex or anything else, then the producer needs to know right away. You might miss out on a job, or the role may be changed for your preferences, but you don’t need to do anything you’re not comfortable with.
