Funny thing is Tony I agree with you. I think the male performers should be paid more money. But on the other hand IF I did pay more money would I get a better scene? If the male performer puts in a crap performance and I've got a rubbish scene do I get a discount or should the 'highly paid' male performer pay ALL my costs for the shoot HE fucked up! I don't think so!
And before you tell me that top male performers don't fuck up scenes, just remember I've worked with them all, with the exception of you that is. And they have all had 'off' days which have cost ME money.
So in the ideal world the male performers get top money and the producers get perfect scenes everytime. Shame we don't live a perfect world isn't it?

.......how about 'performance bonuses' based on the 'angle of dangle'?
Say, 1% per degree, i.e a 90-degree stiffy would earn a bonus of 90%.....
Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time...............

Marino, I hope you don't mind but as someone who is stuck in a porno timewarp (and knows nothing about the current UK industry), could I ask what you mean by these blokes not being 'men'. Is there something we should know ?

I'm intrigued by Marino's post as well.
As for payment, I agree with John and I'm sure that nearly all others would agree that the male role is the most difficult in a physical sense and if a disaster occurs, where is the recourse?

.......errrrmmmm.....Marino is less than keen on those male performers who are a little more catholic in their choice of work than is the norm.

But a good male 'performance' is essential to the entire thing, surely?
'Limp-dick porn'- a new genre?
Oh, sorry: Ron Jeremy's already thought of it...........

I'm sorry to be so obtuse jj, but by catholic (lower case) do you mean what I usually mean by the word, i.e. liberal and broad-minded ?
And is the 'norm' heterosexual porno ?
Please forgive me in advance for any offence I may unwillingly cause but I'm afraid I know absolutely nothing about any of the people involved.

Paid, you are having a laugh, I think you should all pay us producers, if it wasn't for porn you would spend you wages in a knocking shop, like rocco used to, especially that superdick guy he is the biggest punter I know, he spend thousands on it,
