    Notable in some way. Generic dihh is easy. But if you’re especially big or small or interesting in some way it’s a better chance. Cause it’s more likely someone will have a fetish if you

    Bigger than life I guess.

    Someone simply needs to want to pay you to do it. There’s all kinds of weird kinks out there. You can look any kinda way

    realistically there’s a kink for everyone so if the “big dick” category exists I’m sure a “small dick” category exists too. “it’s not the size of the boat, it’s the motion of the ocean”

    If you have to ask… it ain’t big enough.

    The ability to perform and perform for long periods of time are probably even more important for a pro.

    As a rule porn tends to select for larger cocks as it makes getting the angles easier.

    I have seen some closer to average dicks but even those looked to be 6-7inches at minimum.

    You got a phone with a camera don’t you? Ain’t nobody care how short you are when they’re jerking it to ya

    Probably about 6’2″ would be common?

    If you want money start your own. If its for the sex you won’t have as much fun as you think.

    Bigger is better, as they say, but I’d think it’s more about your ability to perform. 

    Acting on a porn set isn’t exactly a sexy situation. You’re being imterrupted all the time, doing it in unnatural positions, having to get it back up again every time there’s a break. Most guys probably can’t keep it up for a day of film shooting.

    fat guys can be pornstars too, they just have to let the ladies ride on top

    As long as not micro (unless for those that fetishize one somehow), but the most important part is ability to not cum too fast, which is easier said than done… need to act horny but not actually getting horny when you’re doing the female pornstar on shoot

    From what I’ve heard from people in the industry, it’s as much about control/refactory time as it is about size/thickness. Sure having a big swinger is optimal for certain scenes and partners, but in a lot of cases if you’re able to control your timing, finish “on command” and potentially go again soon afterwards, that would be just as attractive to producers.

    As a female viewer i love the average content! Too big makes me feel weirded out lol

    I wonder why no one fights for realistic standards for man body in porn industry like feminists do for woman body standards

    You don’t need to be especially big, just big. What is actually more important is being able to get it up “on cue” then being able to have “sex” for prolonged periods of time whilst shifting angles (under direction) and stuff for better camera angles. Finally after all this “fun” you have to, again on cue, be able to “finish” with the self control to finish where instructed.

    Then go through all of this again and again… And you don’t get a choice in how attractive you find the other performer; you HAVE TO be aroused. Point being it isn’t the most fun job and it certainly isn’t about the performers having fun, everything is about the audience having fun.

    I watched a video a long time ago where they got a normal dude off the street to try and have sex with a porn actress.

    He was game and wanted to.

    But could not perform. Guy was riddled with performance anxiety.

    I think that would honestly be most guys.

    So although the industry loves to have a guy with big dick fucking the girls is way more important to actually be able to get and keep a hard cock.

    Which is why I think so many guys in porn aren’t good looking dudes.

    Physically attractiveness falls third to those other two.

    Take Ron Jeremy. Perfect example.

    Your cock needs to be beautiful to look at as well.

    Not weird looking.
    Not too bent.
    Not bent sideways only up or down or just straight.
    Not weird shape not too thin not too thick.
    Not too veiny not veinless not purple not black not dark.

    I mean it can be all that things but you not getting paid too much.

    The cock competition its a knife fight out there.

    Well, the average female porn star is 5’2”, so bigger than that.

  24. JustmyOpinionhomie77 Avatar

    The most important thing for you to be successful as a man in porn is being erect when you want and under whatever circumstances present. Need to be able to control your ejaculation and be able to not lose your hard on. Other then that a good network of people wouldn’t be wrong. Also got to be able to not care about anyone’s opinion too. Besides you got to make your name out there they’re not just gonna let you bang the top of the top. Even as a straight guy they’ll probably test you by sending you to the gay section or really old women.

    Depends on the country. Different countries have different porn industries and different regulations. The US porn industry likes 7+, but from what I’ve heard and read, European porn industry and Australian porn industry wants more…average sizes. I think they also have systems for body augmentations like breast implants. I know Australia is really…strict with like…regular people.

    At least 5 ft 5”. Dwarf porn exists, but it really is a tiny niche

  27. Queasy-Assist-3920 Avatar

    I’m gonna go against the grain here and say actually you don’t have to be that big at all. Most of the porn I’m watching the men are pretty normal sized tbh. Ok sure there’s the odd ridiculous cock and I barely see anything on the smaller end but most of what I see now is pretty normal.

    I also see an uptick in what I would called “professional amateur”a couple that actually like shagging each other and just put it on the internet.

  28. Junior-Plant4627 Avatar

    it’s not just about the size. You must stand up on comand, come on comand and many times if needed plus it’s not easy perform with a room full of people and cameras 😉 trust me i did my research your not the firt one to think about that career 😅✌️

  29. RealisticTax2871 Avatar

    If you’re looking to be a pornstar it’s a schlong way to the top.

    You have to ask what you are willing to do and who you are willing to do it with. As a dude, your dick doesn’t have to be big if you are a bottom doing gay scenes or deep throating other dudes with big cocks. So, if that is the type of acting scenes you’d do, then you have a way in.

    You could also get in by being the producer / talent in your own productions. This requires you to have a different skill set, which is raising funding (or paying he bill) and organizing or recruiting talent (e.g., call up agents, find independents, set a rate with them, and then get on with it). This will require you to get real good at paper work to be compliant with industry standards (tests, documentation, legal work).

    What compensates for small(er) size? Being shredded or having some distinct look. Being able to perform on demand. Being willing to participate in some niche (super fat, granny, etc). Also, if you do get in, being known as someone who is a pleasure to work with is key. You want the female talent to request you as the person they like doing scenes with.

    I’ve known 2 guys that have broken in. One of them had a huge cock, was absolutely shredded, and was very traditionally masculine-handsome type. He got in by being a gay-for-pay bottom. Eventually got a few straight scenes, but he still has to do some gay work to pay the bills. Second had a g/f, now wife that was in the industry, and she got him first doing scenes with her (cuck humiliation scenes) then as a cock-prop (e.g., it was just his cock that was shown, in a handjob or bj scene), then as talent. He was just an average mid-30’s 5-incher type of guy, but he still worked a day job as a tax accountant and just did it to support his wife’s career.

    There’s a category of corn for everything, including tiny dick porn.

  34. badassery247 Avatar

    My buddy worked for brazzers for years. He said basically this, average penis is real life 5.5” average penis in porn 6”. Big penis in real life 6.5” big penis in prob 7”. Not much difference. Most dicks in porn are between 6-7” the big ones 7”-8” the huge ones 8-9”. Said he never saw one measured bigger than 9”. It’s all camera angles and wide angle lenses. Also the women are usually 4’10”-5’3” with small hands.

  35. Altruistic-Will-1497 Avatar

    I think 5ft 10” is reasonable

  36. Ir0nhide81 Avatar

    There’s a lot of documentaries out there that talk about male pornstars and the need and use for Viagra.

    Viagra has diminishing returns so things don’t end up well for retired pornstars.

    Is OP planing to buy a bigger cock?

  38. goldent3abag Avatar

    I was working at a bar when I was 20. It’s late on a Wednesday night and there’s only one dude sitting there so we started talking. Came to find out he was a “talent scout” and producer of porn. I asked him how could I get into it. He looked me dead in the eyes and said “pull your cock out and put it on the bar.” I laughed it off thinking he was joking. He said if you can’t whip your dick out for a stranger to see you can’t be in the industry. So needless to say I missed that opportunity.

    A lot of the girls you see are closer to 5 ft, making the guy look a lot bigger by comparison. I didn’t think my much of my size until I realized how much smaller a lot of women are.

  44. Mojomajik99 Avatar

    Stunt cock!!

  45. Rlonsar Avatar

    In all seriousness r/pornstarsmeasured has some good points on this.

    Claims of 11″ and 12″ are entirely bunk. Most of the guys are around 7″ which is very large but not the huge 9″ they claim. The thing about it is camera angles and petite costars.

    If you are 6″ and up you could do it depending on your body type (6″ on a skinny guy looks huge) but it is more about your ability to achieve and maintain an erection over hours, and then to cum on command.

  46. plumdinger Avatar

    A thick 8” and preferably you should be gay and very in shape. Able to bust pretty much on command. Source: I used to produce and direct indie porn.

    Personal experience as an ex-male model. (Digital footprint be damned)

    Bigger will always be better. You’re expected to be above average at minimum (6inches plus) . Body type matters too. The restrictions for men are extremely strict. Gay porn is a bit more lenient with body types but as a general rule, if you’re not physically fit and 7+ inches and live in LA, good luck.

    As an aside, as a man, you don’t really “get into” the porn industry in the same way though.
    For example, when studios are looking for actors in LA, women can apply and get free flight and hotels and get set up with an interview. Men have to be local and do everything on their own dime.
    Think about it, we have a million common porn categories that are woman-centric, boobs, butts, bbw and so on.

    What categories are for men specifically? Big dick. Twink maybe? Gay if you want to count that as it’s own category?

    It’s like THE thing you’ll be valued for as a male actor.

    Also, porn actors are kinda just “meat”. Especially for the guys. You’re the one there to fuck the girl. Unless it’s gay porn,you have to be able to perform and I promise it’s way harder than it looks (pun intended)
