You enjoy having sex. After blowing his load, a boyfriend or date has told you, “You’re AMAZING! You could be a pornstar!” Maybe you’ve even been told this more than once. Regardless of how it transpired, you’ve decided, “You’re damn right… I COULD become a pornstar! That’s exactly what I’m going to do!” Especially if this is the stage you’re at while reading this article, take a deep breath and give yourself a big, hearty pat on the back because you’re definitely on the right track! The decision to sign with the best personal management company or the best porn agency to manage & represent your interests in the adult film industry is a wise decision, especially at the beginning of your pornstar career. Before getting on a plane or signing any contracts, you should be confident that you’ve located suitable representation, so we will share with you the three most important things to look for when considering the best porn agency for your particular needs.
The Best Porn Agency Will Work Only in Legit & Legal Verticals
This has always been the case, but it’s more important now than ever. Most porn agents & porn talent agencies are pimps-in-agent’s-clothing. They lure young ladies to fly out to California, Nevada or Florida under the premise of becoming a legitimate on-camera adult film performer. Unbeknownst to the girls, regardless of whether or not any actual porn shoots are preceding the execution of the bait-and-switch scam, the agent’s real goal & plan was to turn her into an “escort” (off-camera prostitute) in their “escort agency” (prostitution ring), all along.
Although we’ve been publicly condemning this predatory criminal racket from the rooftops for over 17 years, the State of California has finally decided to step forward & prosecute a handful of the bad actors.
In recent years, there’s been a significant push from the establishment of the porn industry (those that have aided & abetted the pimps for decades) to lump all so-called “sex workers” into one big pile of shit. They want to blur the lines so there is no distinction between legal, tested, professional adult film performers and untested, law-breaking, disease-spreading, Motel 6 prostitutes.
In our house, we do distinguish between the two. We don’t manage “sex workers” here at our talent management Company. Instead, we’re proud to represent clean, professional, legal adult movie performers.
Although some legal changes have caused somewhat of a shift towards Las Vegas, Southern California is traditionally known as the “Capital” and headquarters of the American porn industry. California is one of only two U.S. States where the production of pornography has technically been “legalized” (the other being New Hampshire, believe it or not).
At least in California, producing professional pornography featuring consenting adults is an entirely legal business. Prostitution, on the other hand, is not legal in California (nor is it legal in Las Vegas, by the way, which many people find surprising). Porn’s legality in California is due to a legal case that went to the California Supreme Court back in 1987. Due to California v. Freeman and a simila New Hampshire – only in California & New Hampshire – a clear, legal distinction has been made between prostitution & pornography.
Prostitution and pornography are NOT the same thing, legally or otherwise.
California & New Hampshire are pornographers’ playgrounds, where one can operate openly & freely without fearing jail time for paying people to have sex with each other (on camera). Because you have decided to get into a 100% legal industry, finding the best porn agency that deals exclusively with the legal side of the adult entertainment industry (adult movies, webcam modeling & stripping) is crucial. The best porn agency for you certainly isn’t also going to be working in the illegal side (prostitution) of adult entertainment. This way, you can rest comfortably at night, knowing that you have the best porn agency working hard on your behalf, booking you only for safe, legal, actual porn work… work that you can be proud of because it’s safe & legal… and because it’s what you signed up to do in the first place.
The porn industry establishment and their two online “news” puppets/outlets AVN & XBIZ are expert propagandists. They convince their young victims that they are not victims, but actually “strong, independent, empowered women” because they “choose” to sell their bodies off-camera in Los Angeles, Las Vegas & Miami hotel rooms. Honey baby, you didn’t need a “porn agent” to help you become a whore. Old Leroy back in your home state… you know, the one with the flashy suit, the gators & the big Cadillac, he could’ve pimped you much better than your porn agent could’ve. If we’re being honest, it’s not that complicated… just throw on a sexy outfit, go stand on the corner, and do your best not to get arrested, beat up, murdered or AIDS.
If you want to start your career in the porn industry, don’t fall into this trap. Instead, sign with a talent management Company with a solid 17-year record of standing & speaking against illegal business in, or connected to, our LEGAL industry.
The Best Talent Agency Will Provide Personalized Promotion
Just as there are many different shrimp-based meals, there are also many kinds of porn. Therefore there are many different porn production companies, porn directors, porn magazines, porn websites and – of course – porn movies. Just as everyone is not into watching the same type of porn for enjoyment, the kinds of adult films a particular porn model is suited for can be equally diverse.
Some adult movies feature a male and a female… others, two males, and other films feature three or more performers of various genders. Some porn production companies shoot only particular niches or fetishes, like females with full bushes or those with lots of tattoos. Younger people… older people… blacker people… whiter people. There’s no “one size fits all” porn and no “one size fits all” promotional plan, brand-building or marketing campaign that the top companies will use, across the board, with its entire roster of models/performers.
The best porn agency will analyze each of its individual performers’ assets, attributes, limitations, etc., and then juxtapose those against each of its production clients’ needs, current projects & castings, etc. From there, a great talent company will formulate a promotional plan for which production companies should be targeted first, second, third, and so on, on each model’s behalf. The promotional plan will vary from one model/performer to the next.
The Best Porn Agency Will Have Plenty of Experience
Everybody, and every company, starts somewhere, but I’ll tell you what… I wouldn’t want to begin driving around in a car manufactured by a brand-spanking-new car company, one whose vehicles have yet to be tested for safety & durability. Although choosing a brand-new, inexperienced startup porn agency might not pose the same risk to life & limb as an untested automobile (although, in some ways, it actually could), doing so could undoubtedly place one’s chances at porn-industry success at risk.
The best porn agency for you will have a high level of experience. Experience, first & foremost, is going to mean connections… relationships with decision-makers / shot-callers in the industry. It takes time to meet people, to break down barriers, to figure out “who’s who in the zoo” (to know which producers are more or less professional than others), to build reputation & trust, and to nurture relationships with the producers and directors that matter. The ideal talent company will generally know how to negotiate more bookings, at higher rates, for its pornstars than newer, less-seasoned porn agencies.
Of the many thousands of things we’ve learned over the past 17 years in business here at our Company, one example is to keep an awareness of our performers’ menstruation… that’s right, the female monthly cycle and that goes for all our active female performers. The best porn agencies will know exactly which of their female performers receive a monthly cycle (many don’t, due to the usage of various types of contraception, etc.) and approximately when each cycle will occur. The agency will try to book its performers on days when they aren’t on their period… it just makes everything a lot easier! Speaking of contraception – that’s an entire other area of knowledge that the best porn agency should have (which method is best for work in this industry, etc.), although – of course – a talent representative’s advice should never take the place of advice from a licensed physician or qualified medical professional.
Finding the best porn agency to help you begin your career as a porn star is a fantastic idea, and heeding the three critical requirements above will help you find the ideal talent representation firm for you. Who knows? If you like the idea of working with the best, it might be us!
