that guy tho, it would be like fucking in front of your mother, I couldnt work for him

I can do it semi... not sure if that's something to be proud of though lol

I give mad props to all male porn stars, especially if you did as many scenes as these guys do alot of pussy would just start to look the same, making it twice as hard to even operate.

That was awsome. Try me out next time LOL!

LoL. Hunger is a major motivation in your country.lol


I think americans are brought up with a lot of information that tells them that sex is bad, porn is bad. Or they have people around them like family who would be ashamed of them if they were to be in porn. Once again the way we are brought up and raised can fuck up a male performers head causing him to have problems on set. Constantly thinking about what people are gonna think is a serious head problem on set.


Now as for stupid people being better performers, that is way true!!! My theory is that Most of them are so stupid that they don not fathom or understand the reprocutions of what they are doing.


Then you have the very very few that are very smart and can control their mind to tune out everything around them out. Furthermore they accept what they do and do not look down upon it. In short, THEY DONT GIVE A FUCK WHAT PEOPLE THINK!!!


Me, i dont really care what people think or say, but being a new father i do fear that one day, my daughter will be judged because of what i do. Then again, i do not perform.:2 cents:

Joel Lawrence once told me the secret to being a good male performer is the ability to focus.... and Joel was/is a soldier.

My GF shot a bunch of BBW scenes and she used Scott Styles as male talent... man that guy was a soldier. He did shit on set that would turn most guys stomachs but he got the job done without failure and gave a great performance... thats a true male pornstar.

I shoot in AZ and finding great male talent is so hard man!!

Here is what happens to me, I have found three great young 19 year males with huge tools, but every damn time they run off with the female talent behind my back.
I set up shoots and they dont respond, I find out they are dating and they ignore my assignemnts!

What the fuck.

LOL awesome video. reminds me of when I shot content. Male talent is crucial.

maybe you should start a dating agency or shoot men with tiny dicks the girls wont run off anywhere

Oh believe me i went off on them Yelling : I am not a fucking dating service" !!

But it pisses me off, so now I set it up where I am shooting the girl all day and have the male come do the scene fast and leave, no exchanging numbers or info.

Great Video Dave!

Jasmine is awesome... Those guys were lame as hell.

I have fucked Jasmine and shot her for several of my sites.
She is fantastic.

lol pretty funny

good shit.

Great video man, that was funny as fuck.

???? Dude, if my guys pull any stupid love connection shit like that, that will be the last time they work for me. I dont even like kissing on my sets. Its a job!!


Two things that stops: My males trying to recruit girls for other agents (because that girls agent may never send me another girl) and the girls not getting creeped out by the male performer.(because most males are pretty creepy):2 cents:

reverse cock blocking?

whereas you tell the guy fuck all you want but no lovey dovey crap?

ha Ha and HA! They all say they can do it. YEAH RIGHT!

It takes a special mind to do that kind of work. The skill of male porn talent is underrated.

yes. the weirdest scene i ever did for a company was some GFE type shit, with simulated tongue kissing and foreplay. both me and the chick looked at the director disgusted, like are you fucking serious but we pushed through the scenes anyway. i bet it looked fake as a spanish soap opera. def. no lovey dovey brah if i can help it

i saw that on tv last year here in nz

i remember as they had Naughty America on it too

the first guy has "a beautiful cock and girls love it"! :1orglaugh
this videos rocks! :)

He was the one that cracked me up more than the others. It was all the bragging. :1orglaugh

Yup, it's a series called Sin city. Use to play right after web dreams on Showcase friday nights.

LOL i enjoyed watching that :)

Very amusing.

"The porn industry is hard"

"Not in your case"

Sad to see happen.

Nice trash

Great clip - really funny.

That`s the guy from sin cities, that guy does the weirdest things on the show, he's quite amusing!

Not as good as ASSSMOOTHIE. lol

it happens to the best of us... :):):)

That was hilarious, Dave! I love how you called out exactly what the guys would say

I have been waiting to see this FOREVER!!! After all the convo's about it, I'm watching it now! :)

That was funny.

OMG, this has lived up to it and then some!!!

"HE CAME"

"But that's not the scene!"

Bro, your arms a freaking huge!!! Were you still teaching and training at this point?

I used to ask the guy first thing....Im going to take you to the mall this afternoon and you are going to start at one end, get your dick hard take it out and hold it in your hand while you walk to the other end. if you can get it hard and keep it hard from one end to the other yer my guy

That weeds em out quickly

and the truth is...a guy who can perform could do that no sweat

That is so funny that you caught that. I have shot wannabe performer about 70 times and i here it over and over.



"this has never happen to me before"



I can just about predict everything that will be said and that will happen when it comes to amateur guys.:thumbsup

GETTING INTO THE PORN INDUSTRY
BY: Dave Cummings----Porn Star/Producer/Director


Many individuals, both female and male, fantasize about becoming a porn star, or somehow finding a way to get into the Porn Industry. Some folks want to be in front of the camera as actual porn stars, while some just want to be involved with porn productions and become an “insider”. Now that the Internet has flourished, it’s become another avenue into porn for those seeking entry. Let’s look at some of the different routes one might travel in their quest to be involved with the world of porn.

For reasonably attractive females with nice figures, it’s relatively easy. Knowing someone already in the Industry might facilitate their journey into porn, otherwise they’ll need to do some Internet research to find and contact an agent or manager, preferably a reputable one in the Los Angeles area where most porn productions take place. In the past, there has been a steady stream of new legal-age girls wanting the adventure and/or money and/or fame of becoming a starlet; but, in the last few years there’s been a significant increase, indeed almost a flood, in the numbers of women hoping to become famous and affluent porn stars and to later return to their high school class reunions and bask in the glow of stardom. The name of the game during recent years is the demand for new fresh faces; this often results in pursuits by producers and directors seeking to hire new starlets as a means of increasing sales. Thus new wannabe porn starlets are in demand. New girls can make a lot of money, especially when they first enter the Industry; but, unless they are especially good at their craft or have extraordinary professionalism and drive to make porn a career, the need for the even newer fresh faces soon becomes a challenge for their longevity as the even “newer” incoming girls seem to nudge some of the existing faces out of the limelight. The exceptional girls who end up making it a longer term career usually are well known for their dependability, punctuality, a solid enjoyment of sex which is exhibited by truly hot sex scene performances, personality, and high standards of all-around professionalism.

Let’s look now at the issue of men wanting to become porn studs. Prior to the days of prescription pills to aid and enhance one’s sexual performance abilities, the number of porn studs in the Industry was much smaller than at present, and viewers had to endure seeing the same core group of us guys over and over. The reason why we were qualified as career porn studs was our “functionality”, something that still applies today; candidly, even some new guys presently masking their use of pharmaceutical assistance still seem to sometimes get “stage fright” and some seem to have difficulty doing a timely “money shot”. I’ll discuss the functionality matter a little later.

Because I (and many other Adult Industry individuals and entities) receive hundreds and hundreds of serious inquiries every month from guys wanting to know how they can become porn stars, I’ve written up this general response. As a Producer and Director, I’d love to have a much larger pool of proven male performers so that female viewers could enjoy watching handsome studs performing with some girl while the female viewer fantasizes about herself actually being the girl in the video. I sense that the porn viewers now include more and more women and couples, unlike the past when most viewers were masturbating men.

The problem here is for me to be candid without hurting anyone’s feelings; there’s no easy way to tell guys that the chance of them getting even a “try-out” or an audition is remote (actually, there no longer is such a thing as an “audition”, let alone getting one with a new applicant’s favorite porn starlet!). The present lack of “want ads” for new studs has little to do with new aspirants, but rather results from the informal system that’s evolved over time based mostly upon past experiences of disappointed Directors who let themselves be talked into using some previous new guys who touted themselves as true studs (which they well might have been in their private life, but unfortunately were not when they got in front of cameras on a set with people watching---new guys with performance difficulties are nightmares for Directors, crews, and everyone involved with the shoot, including the starlet scheduled to have sex on film with the aspirant). Probably, the new guy who wants to get into performing undoubtedly is a true stud with the ladies or his significant other, and/or in a group situation like a swinger’s party, but merely deciding to become a porn star does not get him even considered anymore. The present lack of enthusiasm for giving new guys a shot at a career as a porn stud was informally established when similar men in the past were strongly recommended by someone (perhaps even by someone in the Industry, or by a starlet or female with first-hand knowledge), only to have “performance anxiety” and freeze up in front of the cameras, lights, and sometimes his inpatient co-star as well as the crew/director/producer, other actors and actresses, make-up persons, on-lookers, catering people, magazine photographers, location owners and their “gawking” friends/neighbors/relatives, company owners and staff, Industry media, online gossip or news columnists, etc. A new guy who loses his “functionality” causes loss of production time and filming momentum, and possibly additional expenses in overtime charges for the location, rental equipment, and crew. Resultantly, Directors and Producers usually will not accept new guys, no matter who recommends them or how impressive the new guy or his girlfriend says his penile “credentials” and sexual performance abilities are. It’s been my experience, and that of many insiders, that new guys are absolutely certain and insistent that they can adequately perform in a functionary manner, but most still fail no matter how much confidence they exhibit, sometimes in spite of the prescription pills they might have privately ingested.

If so many serious and motivated “potential porn stud applicants” contact me constantly, can you imagine how many are writing/emailing/phoning the porn girls, insiders and other porn guys like me, studios, magazines, crews, gentlemen’s clubs etc? Yet, even with new guys masking their use of pharmaceuticals and/or sometimes being part of a male-female couple, I see only 5-6 credible new guys a year making it into the business; and, even some of these get “cut from the roster” if they don’t possess adequate and consistent functionality. It doesn’t seem to matter (or be an adequate excuse to the studio owners, producers, directors, crews, starlets, or anyone else adversely affected by delays due to sub-par functionality) if the new guy just ran an exhausting marathon, was taking decongestants or antihistamines for a sinus blockage or a cold, or unavoidably got only a few hours sleep the previous night----it’s an unforgiving business decision not to take a chance using the new guy ever again. Worse, the word of a new guy’s non-functionality seems to spread like the speed of light throughout the Industry. There’s a lot of pressure on the male performer; unlike his female co-star, he can’t fake sexual excitement nor can he hide climaxing too soon before the director gives him the directive to do the “money shot”. Instead, the guy has to have a solid and almost-constant erection whenever the camera is rolling, and for the hour-plus it usually takes to film the hardcore portion of the scene, and in spite of the constant stopping and restarting for such things as changing a camera battery, relocating lighting, stopping for required photos of the action, shifting back and forth between the hardcore and the cable-television non-hardcore filming, starlet make-up touch ups, potty breaks, cigarette breaks for cast/crew, water, the sound of someone’s ringing or vibrating cell phone, or a passing airplane, or the starting-up of a lawn mower down the street, and on and on!

The key for a new guy is all centered around functionality, namely: getting an erection quickly; not climaxing too soon; and, indeed being able to do a money shot somewhat soon after the Director calls for it. Sometimes, new guys taking prescription medications intended to help them with their sexual performance have difficulty getting the money shot to happen quickly enough. Since “FUNCTIONALITY” is the name of the game for guys, let me reiterate that penis size, looks, muscles, and acting ability mean almost nothing for a guy. What DOES matter is the guy’s ability to get an almost instant erection in front of people on a set, to maintain functionality for the period of the shoot including being able to get “wood” erected quickly after the many stop-n-go interruptions during the shoot, to control the erection so as to not cum before the Director gives the OK, and, upon being directed to climax, the guy should do it relatively quickly without wasting the time of the starlet or the production folks.

Of course, guys must arrive on set on time, bring the correct wardrobe, have perfect personal hygiene in every way, bring their not-more-than 30 days old Adult Industry Medical (AIM) tests done via the state-of-the-art PCR/DNA testing regimen for chlamydia/gonorrhea/HIV, and bring their ID’s, including one government-issued ID showing the guy’s photo and date of birth on it. I always bring my State Driver’s license and my Department of Defense military ID card.

Part 2:

Like I teach in my www.howtomakeadultvideos.com classes, in The Adult Industry, there’s real time, military time, and porn time – yes, porn time is usually the latest of them, so be prepared to sit around for possibly hours waiting for your sex scene to (finally) begin!

OK, so other than being a multi-millionaire who buys a porn company, what possibilities exist for a new guy to get paid to have sex with beautiful women in the Adult Industry? Well, one direct way is for the aspiring new guy to “discover” a SUPER-beautiful new girl who will agree to enter the Industry while letting him ride her coat-tails, and demanding that he be the exclusive stud she will ever “work with” on film (“work with” is our term for having sex in porn shoots). This can sometimes work if the girl is truly sizzling hot; it’s important, though, to understand that every year there are many hundreds of new girls entering the Industry seeking a shot at becoming a famous porn star, almost all of whom will work with any of the already-proven porn guys the Producer/Director wants to hire. A new aspirant’s “coat-tail” girl must therefore be so much more attractive than the other new girls, as well as the already-established other girls, that the Director will want her in his production so much that he might agree to her demand of working only with “her” new guy. Candidly, be aware that some new coat-tail girls might sever the deal with new guys at this stage if it means that they might lose THEIR chance to get a shot if the Director balks at hiring the new guy; after all, it means the Director must take a production cost chance on the coat-tail girl and her new guy, a risk he doesn’t have to take if he instead books one of the many other girls who will work with any of the famous star studs of the Director’s choosing. It might help if a new guy has and shows the Director a couple of tapes of him performing with girls in front of 10 or 20 other people to prove that he doesn’t get stage fright in front of lots of people. If the new guy and his coat-tail girl get some initial bookings and do well with them and another 8-10 shoots, perhaps he can then let it me known that he’s available for bookings with other girls in gangbangs and other productions; if the new guy performs successfully and meets the “functionality” criteria consistently, he’ll join the ranks of the already proven porn studs. Unlike the girls who make a lot of money, we guys are merely props to the point that the pay per sex scene is considerably less than what the girls make!

Another possible way to get into porn is via porn productions. Although the bi-monthly classes I teach in adult film-making are comprehensive and include information for couples wanting to film for their own private viewing or for doing “Cam” shows on the Internet, most students want to become producers as a means of making money and/or getting laid! Once a new producer firmly establishes himself or herself as a reputable player in the adult film arena, contact can then be established with agents and managers of porn talent (“talent” is the term for the women and men who appear in front of the camera) and start arranging bookings. It’s not surprising to find that some male producers hire themselves as the male talent, and then hire female porn stars whom they are especially sexually excited about working with. And, some new female producers might inject themselves into sex scenes with either males or females. The AIM testing I mentioned above comes into play, as professional talent mandates the tests, even if a condom will be used for the filming – after all, condoms do sometimes break or malfunction! I’ll return to productions per se in a bit, but first some information about other possible ways to be involved with productions, or to somehow find oneself as an “insider”.

A crew for porn shoots can be as few as a cameraman and a still photographer (to take shots for DVD box covers, as well as for marketing materials); but, some sets have large crews, such as additional cameramen for multi-angle and/or cable version footage as well as for “behind-the-scenes” filming for inclusion into the DVD “extras”. Sets can also have a Director (sometimes in addition to the Producer), Production Assistants, lighting and audio specialists, and ancillary folks for doing make-up, catering, paperwork, etc. Disappointingly, except for the large gangbangs, very few sets have “fluffers” any more (girls who orally “prepare” porn studs to do the on-camera performing). Producers/Directors seem to prefer using the same experienced crewmembers they’ve previously hired. Additions to crews usually come from recommendations from other directors, present crews, and talent, thus providing a basis for experience and professionalism. Directors and crews sometimes hire new crew folks who they find out about from various other sources, but they prefer people who won’t make production mistakes or hit on the girls while working on the set. As an aside, there’s no such thing as “Crew Appreciation Day” where porn girls give oral pleasure to crewmembers, so don’t expect any action if you get lucky and land a job through your Uncle Louie as an Assistant Production Assistant, or whatever. If you’re wondering if crewmembers ever get a shot at performing, I understand that some have had the opportunity to occasionally do “stunt” cum shots for porn studs who were having a bad day---because of the AIM and Industry-mandated testing regimen, such money shots are never to the girl’s face or near her orifices. Yes, crewmembers sometimes get to date porn girls on a personal level.

Script writing opportunities to get on sets or become an insider might offer some possibilities; however, scripts seem to be somewhat favored from an inner circle of already established “insider” authors. I understand that scripts provided by new writers result in payment of only hundreds, not thousands, of dollars. Since porn films and their budgets aren’t usually in the same league with productions such as “Gone With The Wind”, the Directors often write their own scripts. And, since there’s so much non-feature porn presently being produced, dialogue is often determined, staged, and improvised on the spot.

Some folks contact producers/directors agents, talent, and production companies with the offers of production investor funding. Although this sometimes gets outsiders inside, I need to return now to the general matter of productions per se and opine that we presently have a glut of new producers and a lot of excess footage and films looking for Distributors; thus, like the real estate markets have peaks and valleys, this might not be a good time for investing in films. Nevertheless, being involved with productions does offer a way to enter the world of porn. My class and it’s content at my www.howtomakeadultvideos.com site goes into significant detail about things like distribution, legalities and permits, cameras, lighting, resources, budgets, locations, shooting techniques, production ins and outs, casting, agents/managers, editing, packaging, marketing, happenings and problem-solving on porn sets, revenue sources, and a host of other aspects. Bottom line, getting into some aspect of production is a way for possibly entering the world of porn.

Another possibility is the Internet. More and more, we’re seeing adult Internet companies actually shooting content (photos and video), instead of licensing it from content providers or streaming video feeds. The advantage to shooting such content is the exclusiveness of the content, instead of their sites using some of the same content that can be seen at many other sites. Additionally, their output can later be placed on DVD and/or Video-On-Demand delivery systems, thus making them quasi-porn production folks. I sense that porn companies and adult Internet organizations might someday mix and match, sort of converging into cooperative entities, maybe even consolidating. I think the present adult Internet direction provides another avenue for entry into the porn world. Aspiring porn studs who have contacts with adult Internet folks or who know “Cam” girls who sometimes put on shows with guys might want to explore entry into the adult Internet content business as either producers or talent members as a way to get into porn?

All of the above is my personal opinion, and even though it might not sound encouraging, I had to be truthful and candid. I think my comments are on target. Keep in mind that you’re not alone in wanting to be a porn stud or production guy or insider—millions of others fantasize about it too, and hope that they personally have what it takes to become the next big-name male porn star. From time to time I’ll add to these comments via my “From The Trenches” or “Getting Into The Porn Industry” links at my www.davecummings.com, so I recommend that you check them out every once in a while; in fact, some past “From The Trenches” columns already discuss the present porn production situation.

Good luck,

Porn Star/Producer/Director

Yes i was. I was running 5 days a week and crushing up coming MMA guys.


I was up at the gym at 730am then off to the Shootbox school that Rigan Machado was taking over.

The last Pro i worked with was Anthony "Rumble" Johnson. I was there when he got the call by Dana White to fight in 5 days at 170lbs when he was weighing 205lbs. I would crush him in training everyday. I knew he hit hard, but i had no idea that he could put people in the hospital with one punch.


I got knee surgery shortly after that. Spent the next 5 months on crutches. Its tough trying to get back into shape when its so hard to just walk to the bathroom. Both knees hurt everyday all day long.


The only regret i have is that i should have gotten into porn earlier and that i should have taken a lot more pictures of everything as it was happening. I had no idea, that a lot of the people i taught and trained would be MMA super stars.


When they come looking for you to train them and they look up to you, it sounds pretty gay of me to ask to take a picture with them.:2 cents:

Bro, I keep telling you, I'd kill to live your life, BJJ Blackbelt, trainer of Champions!

As for it sounding gay, I told Beecher about you, and he was like, No way, you know Dave?! I start tonight at his Gym, just Thai, no BJJ. I only had 3 or so hours of sleep from last night. Those guys would take pics with you in a heartbeat! :)

It's the "norm" comment waaaaaay too much (along with "this is the first time this has ever happened to me").

Great video, Dave.

It's the "norm" comment waaaaaay too much (along with "this is the first time this has ever happened to me").

Great video, Dave.

HAHAHAHAHA!! Its funny. Mark Beecher is the one who was asking me for pics. "Please Sir, it would be an honer for me if i could take a picture with you". LoL. Mark will have more pics of me than i would. Now he is a MMA training stud. I remember him being a white belt about to get his Blue belt. If you want to know who Mark Beecher is, Anthony will way know more about him than anybody.lol

I get girls everyday damn near, but to find good male performers is extremely hard No pun intented lol

I am the male talent as I have NO problems having wood before my zipper is opened.
No problems whatsoever...

I have been getting slandered though , as the perv guy with a camera here in AZ
I explain half of porn is called POV, so i have been on the quest for male talent talent to keep my dick in my pants to not get talked shit about.

A guy will show up to satisfy these girls and he cant get hard, so out comes my dick again to finish the set... and yup I get slander as a perv with a cam GWC or whatever
girls telling others how unprofessional i am for being the camera man and photographer. Have the bitches ever heard of POV..????

It really is hard to find male talent. When we were shooting I would say your estimations were about right... most guys were gung ho until the lights turned on and they realized they were doing it in a room full of people. Best of luck on your search!

How many of these guys got arrested? lol

the flaccid ejaculator= priceless.

I am going to make every wanna-be male talent who emails me watch this from now on! :thumbsup

I know guys who are quiet and introverted, until they gt on set. The change is surprising.

I would say that's true if you want a guy with a good figure who can last hours and then "pop" on cue. But as Robbie says it's posible to get good performances out of many amateurs.A lot has to do with the girl, the crew, the way the scene is shot and the atmosphere.

Viagra will help keep a good strong hard on, but it will not get a "scared" limp dick hard.

It's all in the head of the guy doing it, I'm bit of an extrovert and confidence is not a problem. :1orglaugh So it was always easy, until I started to get older and worked with girls who did not want to fuck me. Then my dick told me it was the wrong time. Replace her with a girl who wanted t fuck me and it would tell me the time was right. :winkwink:

Keeping going for hours is down to control and stamina.

good! good! and good!
