So let's say your an 18 year old girl and you've just graduated from high-school in Parma Ohio. You're of average intelligence, level headed and reasonably pretty. You've had typical work experience at MacDonald's or K-Mart so you know the basics of working life. You can get to work on time, follow instructions, open a checking account, balance a checkbook, and pay your bills on time.
You come from an average, intact family, you've had a handful of sexual experiences, and you are not addicted to drugs.
You're not sure what your next move should be; you could keep working at K-Mart, or join the military. You have no idea what you want to do with your life so college doesn't really make sense to you right now.
Is porn a viable option?
Let's make a few more stipulations:
You're willing to do girl-girl, interracial, oral, anal and even the occasional dp if the price is right.
Let's say you can earn an average of 800.00 per scene. Of course, you'll get paid less for some things and more for others, 800 is an average. Further, we'll say that you can manage 2 scenes a day 3 times a week or 4800.00 per week. With 2 weeks off for vacation you will have grossed 240,000.00 after 50 weeks of steady work. If we take 50% for taxes and assume 50,000.00 in living expenses for the year, you'll have a profit of 70,000.00.
If you can manage 4 days a week, your profit goes to 110,000.00. At 5 days you're up to 150,000.00.
Of course the obvious downside is the stigma of a porn past for the rest of your life, but even so...
Now, I know all this has been gone over before in great detail, but not from the perspective of a teenage girl with few options.
You could be 19 years old, with 150,000.00 in the bank and your whole life still ahead of you.
Sure, a porn career might not be a good choice. But I'm no longer sure it's a bad choice either.

Da Burglar has already covered this. Yes, it's a Saturday night at home online. I have no life.

If you think most whores are working all but 2 week per year, you're sadly mistaken.
I think the average whore, at least one with any common sense, takes at least one week per month off in order to recouperate her orafices & mental state after being pummeled by creep dick for the past 3 weeks.

I thought I quoted in my earlier reply, but I didn't. That was aimed at your "Saturday night at home" crack, not Burg's analysis.

What about if you're an 18-year-old man from Parma? What if you're just a hot, straight, slightly dumb dude who has an insatiable appetite for sex?
Yes, I'm a woman but I'm curious as to why you write with a tinge of sadness when referring to a young girl, even though you say it may be an okay option.

That is what probably happens in the gay porn.

Not many people I know own their own homes by 22 or 23.
I owned my first home by 22. I wans tin the industry then either.Douchebag ex got it in the break up though. Since I had no credit at that time the house was in his name...even thoug I paid the bulk of the bills.
Never again...shit goes in my name and my name only unless I'm married!!!
Fucker even stole my dogs. If I ever see him again..well,lets just say I'm thankful for the stand your ground law in FL...because I know he'd do something to deserve it.
If I knew then what I know now, I'd have enlisted the help of some bruiser huge guy friends to beat the even loving piss out of him for what he did to me. Still would if I knew where he was now.Anyone up for a blanket party?LOL
Whatever though..I own a MUCH better house now so nanna nanna boo to him..hes prob living with mommy in Long Island now...big fat mammas boy!!
yeah.if she can handle the work mentally and physically I say go for it. But I dont know any chick in porn that works that much. Esp consistently. With the economy the way it is...plus she'd be shot out REAL fucking soon.
All of this sounds highly believable, especially the part of you owning your home but having it in his time.
You also seem to be mature enough to be able to attain that level success, nanna nanna

there isn't a girl in the business that does 2 scenes in a day. her agent probably wouldn't allow it and her body would break down from it. working 50 weeks a year is a bit unrealistic as well. but if this theoretical girl is doing 3 scenes a week each week, then there is a good chance she is doing privates as well for additional tax free income. So that monetary figure might be correct.
The problem in theory as opposed to reality is that paychecks for performers are not always same day pay as the scene, so you are forced to wait up to 2 weeks sometimes for a check. Its very hard for girls (and guys) to NOT spend that money while waiting for it.
