QueerClick Open Forum: Do You Want A Career In Gay Porn?

Would you like to be a gay porn star? It certainly sounds like it has its perks, such as being flown to exotic locations, being paid wads of cash to have sex with hotties, and enjoying the adoration of your lovestruck fans.
Perhaps more to the point is: do you have what the gay porn studios want? We did a quick comb over some of our favorite studios to see what their “Be A Model” guidelines are. Sean Cody is happy to see applications from anybody aged between 18 and 40. Your race and body type aren’t important, just so long as you are “in good shape”. You don’t even have to be gay, since Sean Cody tells applicants that while “most of our models are straight, we also love working with gay men who can show the straight boys how it’s done!” The notes on the venerable site’s “Want to Model” page exclaim:

“Ever fantasized about blowing a hot straight guy? You’ve come to the right place!”

Sounds good so far and, if they like the pictures you send (one clear face pic, please) they’ll fly you from anywhere in the US all expenses paid to sunny San Diego! Find out more.
Corbin Fisher is a little stricter, with a tight age limit of 18 to 25. We’re guessing that must be the starting age, however, since some of our favorite CF models have been with the site for going on ten years or more. The site notes that good models find ongoing, regular and high paid work at Corbin Fisher, and list perks such as:
– Fully-paid travel, meal and lodging expenses
– Fully-paid travel, meal and lodging expenses for international shoots (including, but not limited, to Europe and Latin America!)
– Frequent and regular work opportunities to fully maximize your earning potential
– A professional, friendly, pleasant, safe and respectful work environment
– Fully-paid sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing
Corbin Fisher hire girls as well as guys — maybe you could hook up with your BFF and apply together. Find out more.

Raging Stallion & Falcon are even better at narrowing down the field:

Working with Lucas Entertainment seems like an awful lot of fun. Those guys film all over the world and that’s a behind the scenes pic from Original Sinners there at the top of this post, and here’s some video from that same shoot:

To become a LucasMan, you have to be skilled in “getting fucked by a big dick for an hour”, however non-English speakers are welcome (to apply via the English only application form). Find out more.
Convinced yet? Something tells us that applications are numerous, hence the hostile culling process from the application form on. If it’s that cutthroat to simply send in your pics and deets, what happens at the next phase *bites nails*? Would you give it a go? Who would you like to work for?
