Guys get paid “peanuts” to perform (yes, the girls can make good money, but keep in mind that most viewers look at the girl and could care less about the guy. Guys in the industry of straight porn of often seen as a prop by film makers.
Producers and Directors usually will not accept new guys, no matter who recommends them or what their “credentials." If you are fortunate enough to be chosen for an audition if you desire one, you really only get one chance and your critics will be harsh.
Remember that there’s a lot of pressure on a man in this industry as he can’t fake an erection or a cum shot, nor can he hide climaxing before the Director tells him to cum; likewise, he has to have a solid erection whenever the camera is rolling, and for as long as it takes to film his portion of the scene (normally one-two hours) and despite constant starting and stopping for such things as changing camera batteries and/or film, relocating the lighting and/or camera angle, shifting back and forth to foreplay and long shots, potty, make-up, cigarette, water, etc. breaks, and on and on!
