Dreaming of becoming a porn actor? For some, that sounds a lot more appealing than the classic dream of being a firefighter. Both jobs help people in their own way, but the requirements for becoming a male porn actor are nothing if not demanding.
The world of sex work – everything you need to know!
#1 Good equipment
If you want to work in the adult industry, you’ll need to bring the right kit. If your friend down below doesn’t hit somewhere around 20–23 cm when erect, your porn career might be over before it starts. But hey, there’s something for everyone — there’s always the “small dicks” niche. Don’t give up too soon!
#2 Always ready for action
If you want to be a porn actor, it’s crucial that you’re ready to go at any moment, and that you don’t need half an hour of warm-up before things stand to attention. You also need to be able to finish on command. When the moment comes to deliver, you should be able to wrap things up in 30 to 60 seconds!
#3 You’re open to other men
Almost everyone fantasises about a threesome at some point, so naturally there’s plenty of that on the internet too. You’re probably picturing yourself with two stunning women, but it might just as easily be with one or more men. So you can’t be put off by the idea of working with another man. Plus, gay porn typically pays a lot more than straight porn.

#4 Performing under pressure
As we mentioned in point two, you need to be ready for action and able to perform under pressure. This will also be tested during your audition. The interview isn’t really about you — it’s all about the qualities of your nether regions. The interviewer will ask you to get hard within 30 seconds. You might think that’s easy with a beautiful young woman across from you, but the interview is often with a male recruiter!
“This interview isn’t about you — it’s entirely about the qualities of your member.”
If you manage that, the next request is to masturbate for around 15 minutes without finishing. When the recruiter is satisfied, they’ll ask you to wrap things up within 60 seconds. After that, you’re still not done — you may need to repeat the whole exercise and finish within 30 seconds. So yes, it’s pretty intense!
#5 You’re not camera-shy
OK, this one is fairly obvious. Even so, it can be unsettling when a camera is suddenly pointed right at you the moment you’re about to get intimate. There’s a whole crew around you, plenty of chatter going on, and you still need to keep yourself in control. Worth keeping in mind: there are 100 others lined up behind you.
