Porn's dirtiest secret: What everyone gets paid
 

Would you agree that these rates are not bad for a full day's work? As long as you catch a disease.

Here's how things break down. For a "traditional" sex scene between a man and a woman, the average actress' compensation is typically between $800 and $1,000, depending on the studio's budget. Top-tier performers can earn as much as $1,500, occasionally $2,000, while newcomers with bad representation might earn as little as $300. More extreme acts, as you might expect, command higher rates. The most extreme ? unsuitable for describing in polite conversation ? can go for $1,800 to $2,500.

Talent / Salary
Female performer, man/woman scene $300-$1,500
Female performer, all-woman scene $700-$1,200
Male Performer $500-$1,500
Director $1,000-$3,000
Cameraperson $500-$700
Sound Technician $300-$400
Production Assistant $100-$250
Writers $250-$400
Still photographers $500
Makeup artists $500

Porn's dirtiest secret: What everyone gets paid

Those look like fair rates

Whohaaa - deja vú!

Welcome to last year when this article was already posted here on GFY. But thanks for recycling old content...

For a guy, you have to figure payment is getting have sex with the hot, nasty fuck dolls without the need for the whole "getting to know you" phase...basically the reason a man would want to get out of bed to go to work in the first place.

So when you're living every man's fantasy, wouldn't getting paid $500 bucks for a scene just be a cherry on top?

There's no secret as to what people are getting paid, just like movie stars, it's all relative as to experience, talent, special qualities, age, persona, etc.

No two people always have the same path, or pay, on their journey into entertainment, or modeling, of any kind, anything else you hear is a myth.

Add all that up and you can see the cost of producing a single scene. Now go ahead and monetize that scene. Now you know why people film in 3rd world countries.

from your point of view maybe, the reality is very different.

With the girls you shoot, you have to pay the guys more :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

WTF - We get paid now? - Nobody told me...

I would like to see where they got those figures from because from what I know these are the rates in L.A.

Rates for women
Girl-Girl = $400 to $700
Boy-girl= $800 to $1000
Boy-Girl Anal = $1000 to $1,200
Boy Boy Girl DP = $1,200 to $1,500

Male performer = $50 to $600

Crew= $200 to $500
Makeup artist = $100 to $300(ish)
Writers = Do people still pay for scripts??? (Ask Fozi.)

Sucker! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Notinmybackyard is correct ... ☝

The fantasy doesn't pay the rent :2 cents:

You would think but not the case. Anytime something pays the bills, eventually there will be days you don't want to work.

$300 bucks heh

One of the reasons why I've been able to stay in business for almost 5 decades is that I keep myself informed about everything and everyone within the industry. But I admit I've had problems finding out what the going rates are in Florida but I can't foresee them being too far off from what's being paid in L.A.

Now the going rates in Montreal are a lot more advantageous. However you have to deal with koolaid colored hair, tattoos, bad attitudes and really really poor male talent. Videos produced for the francophone market need to depend upon France's market and using the Quebecois automatically gets them considered "fetish" because of the language.

I see the affiliate doesn't get paid anymore, sounds about right

The monetization value of the porn content is low today.
An eastern European or a third world webcam girl can make over $40K - $60K a year in a country where the average wages are less than $15K.

:1orglaugh I also wonder...

Welcome to 2005.

I agree, fucking for fun and fucking for work is very different. I give those guys alot of credit.

are those rates for top female performers too ?

i mean Sasha Grey,Bree Olson, Lisa Ann, etc etc, i always wondered , they must be getting much more per scene.

Oh come on!!!!
 

You have to be kidding me. After doing that over and over and over again, you think the people working in that industry are still enjoying themselves? I mean yeah, sex is amazing, but if you do it for work and not for pleasure (and let's face it, most of them don't do it for pleasure anymore) it gets bad really fast.

it probably would be more productive to just bump one of the previous 10 threads about this same article... :2 cents:

Looks fair to me.

I shoot some of the most beautiful women in the world, don't shoot gay anymore, just women. and since I'm NOT a homo (or fake hetro) I do find women attractive.

best of my knowledge those models you have posted do not shoot any longer. and here's a saying you might enjoy: there are no $100 whores, only $100 johns.

here's the script:

model walks into room and sucks dick and gets fucked. I'll give a real deal on this one, $100 :thumbsup

FYI you are turning into a one dimensional carton character like bronco guy and crockett. have fun with that :2 cents:

As I recall in jolly old England you could fuck girls like Faye Rampton in the ass for about £300 to £350 and the price of a metro ticket.

I've got the moron on ignore and I hate to be blunt but the Internet works really well when you can put the assholes on block.

Ok you can't take a joke and taking personal shots :1orglaugh:thumbsup

Crockett & Bronco don't start a thread with a copy/paste of a 20 paragraph article with no summary or personal input - that is one dimentional, you.

and also why gf style content exploded.

£300 to £350 = $500+

Never shot Faye Rampton.

You can always tell you hit someone's nerve when they make an unsolicited reply back to back. That was DynaMo's trademark reaction :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

You are litterally shooting hoes to have heard that and have a hoe mentality to repeat it here :1orglaugh.

You're being suckered in man they grow on you like a fungus get out before it's too late they'll get you hooked on overpriced bad drugs & cheap/free sex to control you. I've seen too many shooter fall into the trap over the years :2 cents:

Where do people get these goofy one-size-fits-all numbers?

I suspect the Internet.

Heh. I suspect you are right,

yeah they're real troopers. Even if it can be "difficult", in the end you're busting a nut on hot chicks and getting paid for it. Sure beats shoveling shit in a ditch.

Idiots, how can this be a "dirty" secret? this is an Adult webmaster forums, for the sake of fucking Christ

Wow that was cool

Still the OP got the views and the replies ...

When you work and live in England than £350 is £350 not $500. Also Faye is really terrific girl albeit she's a bit of a flake.

On that note I only pay $300 Canadian for anal.

That's about right for an old guy like you getting anal however the going rate is $150 for the rest of the population.
