Seymore Butts has had in his own Showtime reality series, "Family Business," and he's directed and starred in adult movies for years.Īccording to Butts, it's not the porn starlet, the director, the producer, the cameraman, or the production assistant who has the toughest job in porn. It's the guy who has to get wood - or else. The most difficult part about being a male porn star is the hard-on. They have to get it up and off on cue essentially and all the while in between maintain for two to three hours. This must be done under the most difficult of circumstances, including not being attracted to their female co-star, having sex in the most uncomfortable settings, i.e. on hard surfaces, cold/hot weather, etc., and/or having to stop frequently for direction or shot setups. They have to be in great shape in order to perform. It all adds up to being the most difficult job in porn, in my opinion. You may have seen Richard Mann in "Freaknic 2" and "Big Mann on Campus," but Mann says he and his brethren are getting stiffed when it comes to getting paid what they should. "When you shoot, they pay you once, and that's it." "I'd say dealing with the fact that you don't get any royalties" is the hardest thing about his job, Mann says. Zak Smith is an artist, author, and male porn star. With his unique resume, he's found porn is a tricky industry because it breeds insecurity. "Everything that happens affects whether people will want to sleep with you," Smith says.
