I think being a male performer in porn is difficult - the sex may not always be fun either. Perhaps a lot of guys who watch straight porn look at the guys as window dressing or a prop or a robot ordered to do what is expected, and that's true that may be their job...but we all have difficult components to our jobs whatever they may be.
I think when a guy says, "what's hard about it? they get to have sex with pretty girls." That is pretty naive. We watch a 20-30 minute scene, but the actual work involved as some of you know, is three to four times more than that, although that depends on the company and the director and how many different positions he wants to see, or if the guys take the lead and do the changing from cowgirl, reverse cowgirl, piledriver, double doggy, double missionary...and so on...The stop and go can be distracting. A nasty director who worships the girl but treats and talks to the male talent like a swamp insect - well that can't be easy to keep wood and then cum with an ass wipe for a director (I have seen that in person - if you're that interested, send me private message)...
I think we also forget the number of people standing within like 3 to 8 feet from where you be fucking. Some production crews are small like 3-4 guys - director/cameraman/light guy-runner/assistant-2nd camera, it depends on budget. I don't know how many guys are standing there working as crew on an LP scene. But in other movies the behind the scenes allows us to get a glimpse. I recently watched an installment of Ultimate Asses, and the bts shows us additional hard footage, one of Michael Stefano fucking a sweet young thing on the couch. The bts camera (operated by Juan) is obviously right there, plus it showed main camera guy and the assistant - all about 3 feet from Michael fucking and cumming. So I counted 3. Another movie (cant remember name) in the bts - Julian is going to town on a lovely brunette. The bts action right before, during and post cumshot - showed the main cameraman standing right over Julian on the couch aiming camera over Julian's shoulder...plus there were three other guys right there - one holding a light, one holding wires, and another body..plus the 2nd camera guy (filming the bts) - so now that's 5.
Now translate that up a notch, on a Vivid movie I saw with some bts - a scene with Jerry (Kovacs) and 3 ladies. The bts cameraman scans the room while the action is taking place. Including this guy, there were 10 (count em) 10 other guys standing or sitting right there - a director, a main camera guy, assistants, sound boom, lights, etc etc. That's 11 guys (ALL GUYS), all aged I would say 35- 60. All dressed. And there are the 3 ladies in their fetish wear, And a very naked Jerry (in his mid 20s from when the movie was made). Now he's supposed to ignore 11 guys and equipment when they are all within a few feet of him. And the end of the scene he is standing there his cock getting devoured by these three ladies and he is ordered to make sure to cum on all three faces, plus post cum head from all three. And yet the scene is all about the girl(s), none of whom had to do much throughout the actual scene compared to what Jerry did.
I give many kudos to the guys...all the time.
