Maybe you need a little cash, are tired of the same old job, or just want to show off what the good Lord gave ya! We've compiled a few quick tips on who to contact and what you can expect in your path to porn stardom.

1. Record Keeping. In the United States, where puritan values hold sway (but at least we don't burn witches anymore), the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations requires producers of sexually explicit material to maintain documentation of the age of their models and actors (you MUST be at least 18 years old). Essentially these 2257 laws mean that you'll be supplying valid identification to the producer, a copy of which must be kept on file. Also realize that what hits the internet never truly disappears. Your video may be accessible for years - something to think about if you care about being judged by the moral majority (why are they watching your porno anyway?).

2. Testing. The adult entertainment industry requires periodic testing for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and diseases (STDs). This is often administered via the Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation. Ensure that any company you decide to work with has a testing policy if you'll be asked to engage in sexual conduct with other persons. It's your health, make sure you're safe.

3. Control. Any contract you sign will likely involve you releasing any and all rights to the photos and videos that are produced. Ask questions if you have concerns and pony up for a little legal advice. After all this is a business contract and you need to understand your rights and obligations. If your producer is generous or new to the business (and perhaps short on cash), try to negotiate a percentage of future sales.

4. Pay. Typically male actors in gay or bi-related content make more than their counterparts in heterosexual porn (one exception being straight porn shot for gay audiences). Figures range on the order of $500 - $1000 per scene, but may be higher. Actors in demand may command several thousand dollars a scene. Contracts usually cover travel and lodging (typically to California) if you are not local.

5. The Audition. Expect that you'll be asked to show the goods and j/o while being video taped. This allows the producer to see if you can perform on demand and provides an opportunity to assess your overall look. They'll likely ask questions regarding your willingness to perform various sexual acts, top, bottom, give head, etc. Practice shakin' your bacon a few times before going to the audition. Do it in an environment with distracting sound and bright lights -- as well as in multiple positions.

6. Contacts. There are MANY producers in the world of gay porn. Some are third rate, some are on the up and up. You may want to consider the following:

Producers typically require at least 3 photos: one face shot and two body shots (one from the front, one from behind).

If you're looking to have greater control over content or bypass a studio, you may consider posting your videos online through Xtube, which will setup a revenue sharing system.
