You know what .... I know most of this is going to fall on deaf ears .... but i'm going to state a few obvious points ....
First of all .... all of you keyboard warriors with 20000 posts that sit here saying the girls don't deserve the money, the girls couldn't do anything else, who cares that they're getting paid less .... bla bla bla would probably give your left nut to have many of them as your significant other and probably jerk off to them nightly ... regardless of whether they're 18 or 35 ....
Secondly ..... for those of you that say 5 or 600 is a fair rate and a girl doesn't deserve the rate she's being paid have obviously never shot a scene or considered the risks involved with shooting. Now ... I'm not saying a girl charging 2000 or 3000 for b/g is a fair rate .... I'm talking about the avg or norm of 900 to 1000 for b/g . A girl shooting a scene doesn't just walk in the front door fuck for an hour and leave .... the positions are often very uncomfortable, you're often their all day for an LA scene, there's almost always hang ups regarding someone in the crew or talent, You're putting your face out there for all to see including friends and family, and probably most important you're putting your health at risk. Testing my ass .... everyone knows that plenty of people in the industry are simply unsafe by fucking without protection off set , the tests don't pick up herpes, HPV, or even Hep .... not to mention that someone can pick up something that is tested for by being irresponsible as mentioned earlier. Yes, we all know these risks and kowones crying about it ... however, for you to say that the rate is not deserved givin all these factors ... you're being cheap in my opinion. Everything above isn't even taking into consideration if the girl is from out of town .... such as me .... which is a whole different story. At 5 to 600 bucks a scene , shooting one scene a day for 7 days straight wouldn't hardly even make the trip worth it after airfare, testing, room, board, etc .... and that's assuming every single day was booked and you sat on your ass all week and never went out...... which is usually what i do ... lol ....
Will there always be a young , nieve 18 year old chick that you can jack for a cheap scene that doesn't know any better .... yeah ... probably .... but she'll wise up and then say you're a piece of shit for taking advantage of her before she knew any better .... if you want that kind of rep, I suppose it's an option for you.
And Thirdly, for those of you that think its as simple as dropping your rate to 5 or 600 bucks for boy girl scene in order to get work .... I'm sorry .... but it wouldn't make that much of a difference. Yes .... it would pick you up a few more scenes maybe .... but I know plenty of girls that are willing to drop their rate and it's not doing them much good either. I know brand new girls .... very pretty and sexy that go to LA for 3 weeks and shoot 3 scenes. It's not as simple as dropping your rate .... many companies aren't shooting at all .... dropping your rate isn't going to help that. Until someone gets the free porn of the net .... I don't care what you do .... always going to be issues effecting everyone. I find my content jacked all the time .... sometimes i get them to take it down ... sometimes not.
My two cents .... I'm sure many disagree .... but some of you need to keep in mind that without the girls .... you all better go find something else to do , simple as that .... and right now it's simply not worth it to be in adult for a girl. Maybe for part time extra cash .... but not as a career ...
