Hold on a sex...I mean sec. It's tough being a male performer though. It's harder than being a female performer. I'll give you the reasons I've noted from my extensive porn behind the scenes/documentary fascination. Many times the scene can't get going because the guy can't get wood. The guy can't fake a hard on. In some cases the guy has to fuck a chick he's not attracted to. This happens with the girls too but they can fake it. They can fake orgasms too. The guy can't. Finding a guy with the appropriate credential(s) is tough (He didn't get the job because he's got a great personality). Not only do you have to find THAT guy, but he's got to be able to have sex in a room filled with strangers.
Lighting is an issue because the directors need it to portray the scene intended. So if the guy can't keep a hard cock, it becomes a race against time. This can screw up a whole day's shoot. It can also drive up overheads because you may have only paid 1 days rent for the house you're fucking in. It just became 2!
I'm sure being a male porn star could be a difficult job but it's not really got any rock solid skill requirements.
For example a guy might love having sex in public in front of people on camera and so he signs up to be a porn star and he just does it, no tests no examinations of skill level or competence, no education for years in the theory of porn.
Some porn actors might have solid bodies at the absolute height of fitness, be able to get an erection in front of their own family members, have sex with such stamina they can last for 12 hours and be able to do it while juggling dildos. But this isn't a rock solid requirement of porn, guys can get into the business and make videos without any of these skill levels.
You can get a porn actor who's job it is to be a cuckold, all he has to do is stand there with a flaccid penis, pretend to be a white woman's husband while she gets penetrated by a black man in front of him.
You get gonzo porn where all the actress has to do is pretend to be an amateur girl with no experience, or maybe she is and all she has to do is be herself.
Porn is a broad spectrum with many unskilled jobs available within it.
On the other hand you won't see a qualified doctor who's just done it because he's naturally pretty good at biology and remembering body parts but didn't get fully educated in the topic. Or a doctor who's just there to stand around and look good and so on.
Oh but I do take back what I said about porn being the simplest of activities, I meant it can be very simple. Admittedly usually it isn't.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
