If a Scottish girl really wants to do porn - such as Amanda Rendall or Tilly Hardie (RIP) - then she will do it regardless of what anyone thinks. However, I reckon the most necessary physical attribute, above all of the others required, must be the skin of a rhinoceros. I live in Scotland and there a lot of narrow-minded, repressed people up here, meaning that any lassie who participates in porn, particularly of the hardcore variety, puts herself in danger of copping some serious flack. Look at the way Kaitlyn Andrews - one of the most promising performers we have produced in years - was scared into quick retirement after some idiot decided to play the big-shot and 'out' her.

Scotland is an appreciably smaller place than England, except with just as large a gutter press and a comparatively large number of judgemental citizens who have access to social media. We also have some of the strictest pornography laws in the UK and politicians like the soft-headed Sandra White who want to ban lap dancing and strip clubs outright.

We like to kid ourselves that we are a modern, liberal-minded, tolerant country but the spirit of John Knox still prevails.

I work with quite a few girls that have been in the industry 10 years or more, i myself have been going for 15yrs.

When i started at 38 i was told older girls only made a couple of films as it wasn't fashionable so i changed it & proved them wrong by producing films with ladies 40+, i was the first gonzo woman & the first woman producer even though lots of newbys now try & claim the title lol!

When we make a new film i always have a list of regulars waiting for the DVD & now IPOD, ANDROID, 3 GP, MKV formats for media players, the long distance girls are the ones producing their own films as companies now days are to fragile to build up a big reputation in unless you are in the right place at the right time.

When you can go out in public & get recognized here & other countries you know you have made your mark in the industry & someone somewhere is buying your stuff, there are girls who don't even get a mention on this site who are household names (adult household that is lol!) so it depends what clicks you are in.

It also depends on your lifestyle as well as your film image as we are just as infamous on the swinging scene as we are in the industry because we really live the life we film & people can relate to that, we usually get free entry into most clubs/parties in the UK + some in Holland, France & Spain as people like to know you are real & attainable.

John advises all the girls he shoots to start making there own material now because even if its not used now it can used at a later date when the modeling drys up which will happen to us all.

well said mate

so true

The problem lies with the inversion of the UK porn scene. By and large,
with the exception of a few companies and a few websites, the UK looks
inwardly. Girls on mainland Europe travel extensively for work, the agents
in Prague and Budapest particularly, are well organised and used to thinking
internationally. Dave Wells has drawn attention to the sheer size and
variation of biz in the USA. For example a girl working hardcore in L.A. who
decides to ease off and do just softcore will still work extensively, especially
if she does fetish stuff (fem dom, bondage, water sports, boxing, solo
masturbation - the list is endless).

Yep I agree. I have a mate who lives in Ardrossan and he says exactly the same !

I think in general US models are more hard nosed and career orientated - they see it as a job and career first and foremost whereas UK models get into the industry because they love the sex and exhibitionism (of course there are exceptions to this rule on both sides of the pond).

As others have mentioned there are lot more opportunities in the US but that's exactly why I always advise models to go over there once or twice a year. They appear on Brazzers, NA, Elegant Angel etc and use the companies notoriety to help build their own name.

Even in these tough times if a UK model really had the drive they could make a very healthy six figures a year using the US sites to advertise themselves while selling memberships to their own sites and webcams.

unless you're in a major city all else is pretty backwards. i believe claire kiernan was stripping in glasgow and edinburgh for a while after doing porn?
