Why do people decide to become porn stars? Although being a “porn star” may carry a certain mystique. you don’t usually make a lot of money at it. Being in entertainment generally takes a big toll on your psyche and your finances. Your really better off selling real estate if your in it for the money.
Porn stars also have to contend with the social stigma of their trade, sexually transmitted diseases and the reality that quite a few porn producers can be very shady.
Being a porn star just isn’t the same today as it was in the past. A lot of people are posting cheeky pics of themselves online and with sites like x-tube, anyone with a video camera and a virtual tip jar can become a porn star. It’s just that easy.
So why then become a “porn star” when you can just do it online anonymously? Why do it with a production company?

I’m one of those guys that wanted/wants to be a porn star. For me, it’s an exhibitionist thing… I’m very proud of my body and I really like having sex… it’s kind of a win win for me.
I haven’t listened to the show yet, but when I do I may add some more comments … I just couldn’t resist first post!
