Is that too high? I think it's too low.




$800 is too HIGH now. That's the same price it was a few years ago and that doesn't take into account the porn economic meltdown (caused by the perfect storm of glut, piracy and bad economy). For the adult industry to survive, the cost of production needs to fall and/or fans need to start supporting producers again by actually buying the product.

Porn is a commercial business first and foremost and the free market will determine rates -- not agents, not producers, not the talent. It must be profitable for the producers or it will not be created, period. So long as there are girls willing to perform at lower rates so be it. Even if they earned $300, 400 or 500 a scene, it still beats working all day at Walmart as a cashier for $56. And that's the next best alternative for many starlets.
