I have done 3 porn scenes in the past. I attribute my start to being a provider to the Porn industry. I have been given an extremely great offer to return in front of the camera. Should I take that step?

 

I say YES go for it. Most of us will never have the pleasure of your company yet we will be able to enjoy seeing you perform. You will affect many more people than just by escorting.

In ten years you won't be escorting. A porn career will follow you forever. It depends what you see for yourself in ten years. Seems like a dumb idea to me.

 

But in 10 years you will look different than you do now and using your real name people won't realize that you were once in porn.

For heaven’s sake Victor, why are you giving other people a vote on the direction of your life?

 

You seem like a reasonably intelligent guy. Pick a path that works for you. And call an audible if you prefer a different path later. Own it.

I'm asking for input. Isn't that why we all participate here? Maybe y'all will add more insight and other Pros/Cons I haven't considered.

I agree with Victor, often one likes to hear a variety of opinions before making one’s own mind.

 

Also some people might have facts or anecdotes that are relevant to put in the “what could go wrong” side of the balance.

Exactly, and I loved your "restrained" reply. Nothing wrong with a poll. I love a "pole".... The bigger and harder the better... :p

You have to consider all the factor s involved.

 

Privacy: As an escort you have some limited anonymity. As a porn actor, you have much less.

Career: What's you choice of career paths? Are you looking to use porn as an advertising tool to enhance your escort fees/market? Are you eventually moving away from both industries?

Money: Can you arrange residuals on the porn or only flat fee?

Buttonholing: Will the scene you do in porn force you into a niche market? If you do a fisting scene, will that be forever what you're thought of? Will clients be adverse to hiring you because they think that's only what you do?

Chemistry: If the scene you do is not good (the chemistry is off), potential clients will think that is how you are on a date. If the scene is smoking hot, the opportunities open up.

 

There can be a lot of money to be made in porn, and a lot of money to be made in escorting. The real trick is figuring out how to balance your career.

 

The most important thing to do is have a long term plan and exit strategy. You will not be able to do porn your entire working life, and you may not be able to escort for that time either.

 

From a personal perspective, I don't mind if an escort has done some porn. I do get turned off if they've done a lot of porn. At some point, I feel like they're portraying sex, instead of a personal connection. I can't tell you at what point that is, but it does exist.

Consider whether this great offer will fund your future retirement, or will it just maintain a current lifestyle. If only for today, the money will be gone, but the porn is still there.

If you're NOT maxing out annual Roth IRA contributions as an escort, then it's time to revisit your spending habits! HeHe! :D

Its probably about what you want out there 10 years from now after you are no longer escorting and are a teacher, lawyer, architect or whatever your next career goal is. When you're back to being Bernard Smithe ... or whatever nerdy name you have in real life :)

I agree completely. I had thought of this possibility before I did my initial 3 scenes. I do know my exposure increased tenfold with each video.
