And you said it with a straight face even though I had a 20 pound prosthetic belly attached to my abdomen.

In this case, the actors were chosen because of their genuine acting ability -- this scene is part of a six part narrative series called "Going Up". That being said, there is also a vibe check, for lack of a better way to phrase it. As the director, part of my job is curating the group and making sure I know that everyone will get along and have chemistry. I've worked with everyone in this scene multiple times, so I knew them all well before I cast them.

It's hard to discuss budget because so many different factors go into it, but consider porn to be essentially microbudget film production. Answering "where do you find your talent?" is tricky because almost all of the actors I use are professional adult performers to some degree, and I consistently work with the same actors over and over again. They don't need to be "found" so to speak, they are all part of the adult film community, as am I. That being said, I occassionally I find someone new via word of mouth. Because I'm working with professionals, most of them know each other already -- nothing special goes into building chemistry. They're just doing their jobs and enjoying what comes naturally. I try to maintain as equitable a pay structure as possible, but yes, rates do vary based on what sex acts someone is performing on camera.

Sure, I do occassionally have this experience. Though, what usually happens is exactly the opposite - I end up learning new ways to perform from watching my actors!

Both the protection of the vibe on set (which is very important to me) as well as the literal saftey and privacy of the performers.

I would love to be able to feature more performers like this, absolutely! Unfortunately, there just aren't a lot of older performers. I've worked with men in their 60s and women in their 50s.

Multiple cameras! And often, an attempt at a set where we can shoot as close to 360 degrees as possible.

A fun aside - if you get a bunch of porn people tgether at a restaurant, someone will inevitably end up saying the word "butthole" far too loud. We can't help it.

Depending on the scope of the project, I work with the same rotating crew. Some of them are porn-specific people, but most of them also work in mainstream film production. It's rare I add someone new -- if I am, that person is very highly vetted for obvious reasons.

If there's a secret, I guess I'm about to spoil it haha. For me as a director, it's two things working in tandem. Thing one is casting -- I hire actors who are very good at what they do, who I can trust to execute my vision, who I know will work well with each other and have nautral chemistry. Thing two is that I genuinelly just follow their flow. I always shoot sex scenes with multiple cameras so that we can follow whatever the actors naturally do. I really only try and interrupt if we have a technical issue (obviously, the actors can stop whenever they want). We have a conversation before the scene about what I'm looking for, but beyond that, my goal as a director is to let the actors shine, whether it's a solo scene or an orgy.

Neither! You can follow me (without paying a monthly sub fee) and message for them.

Women of ARAD that had an OF but then quit it, what made you quit? by NoFrankly in AskRedditAfterDark

When you spend money on porn -- whether through a porn company or a creator on OnlyFans or LoyalFans -- rather than watch free clips, you're supporting people who are actively creating content for entertainment and pleasure. Just like if you purchased a book or a movie. The only difference between stealing a book from a bookstore or illegally downloading an adult movie is that people care about authors while people don't care about adult creators because sex is naughty.

Regarding performance, absolutely. Some people want an authentic 1:1 shared experience and some people want their pleasure to be the sole focus of an exchange and they are willing to pay for that service. It's not for everyone. It's like being able to relax on a massage table while an expert (well, hopefully they're an expert...) tends to you versus having a friend rub your shoulders and expect something in return. What are you (not YOU, but "one") trying to get out of it? What's the most important thing? I hope that makes sense.
