Pay equality does works in the porn industry.


Here's how things break down. For a "traditional" sex scene between a man and a woman, the average actress' compensation is typically between $800 and $1,000, depending on the studio's budget. Top-tier performers can earn as much as $1,500, occasionally $2,000, while newcomers with bad representation might earn as little as $300.
More extreme acts, as you might expect, command higher rates. The most extreme — unsuitable for describing in polite conversation — can go for $1,800 to $2,500.

[h=4]Male performers[/h]Men might be a critical part of porn films, but this is one industry where the balance of pay certainly leans toward women.

With men, there's no pay differential depending on the sex act. Generally, male performers receive a fixed amount per scene or day, depending on how the shoot was booked.
And while there are a few top tier actors, such as Manuel Ferrara, who command top dollar, most earn considerably less.

In general, males average $500-$600 per scene or day. Better known male performers can earn $700-$900; superstars up to $1,500.

It doesn't pay to be a writer, huh :don'twantto-see:/

Then again, not much to write about but, deeper, harder, come on my face....

 

[cristycurves]

Hmm, never thought escorts would make more than porn stars....

 

[Willy]

I would make a great writer. Every plot will start with, fuck me in the ass.

 

[cristycurves]

I don't see how they're even making that much with the market so saturated. Does anyone even pay for porn any more.....just about all of it is available for free and advertising can only bring in so much.

..

I've been called a few times by porn people to do films, the latest was the first of the week, all legit american companies, so they must still need " unknown or new" talent and there must still be a demand.
