It’s come to this?

So I’m looking for gigs today to try and bring a little money in and I spot one for being an extra…in a porno. …and I’m considering it.
First off, it’s not like I’d be in there humping or even naked. I’d just be a dude in the background. And how many people can honestly say, “Yeah, I was in a porn once.” That’s kind of a cool story, right? Well…I guess it’s s cool story title, once you found out I was just standing in the background it’d be way less cool. But think of the story to be told on TANcast after THAT! I’m sure something funny would have to happen on the set, don’t you think?
The downside would be that I’m pretty sure my wife would not approve of me watching other people having sex live. In fairness, I haven’t asked her yet, but I can’t see that reaction being positive. “Oh yeah, honey, please go hang out with a bunch of sweaty naked people. But first, hold still while I stab you in the neck” Plus this would kill any chance of a future career in politics (as if TANcast hasn’t done that already).
The biggest thing is that’s what you always hear about actor-types who have lost hope…they had to turn to porn.

I don’t really see a downside here. 😛
Also, is this for one of those ‘fuck my girlfriend’ websites, where they have a dude watching his so-called girlfriend have sex with another man? Because that’s the only kind of porn I can think of that would hire a clothed extra.

Uh, not that I’ve ever watched porn like that. Or any porn. Yeah.

Why is it sooo bad to turn to porn? Maybe for a woman who may have to sleep with someone like Ron Jeremy (who I am sure is a great guy just not the best looking guy). If your a guy and you turn to STRAIGHT porn, you have a pretty good chance of getting to have sex with extremely hot women who are tested regularly for STDs so you know they are probably cleaner than 90% of the women you meet at bars.
Also you get paid for it! I mean come on, that sounds like a few steps up from my current job. Hell I would even work for minimum wage. 🙂

My neighbor was an extra in a porn. Just a guy standing around a pool having a beer, if memory serves. I don’t remember if he was married at the time, but based on the webTV series he’s doing now, I think she would have been down with it, if it was after they were married. May have even been recently.

I would love to hear stories from that set. As long as you are not in the Splash Zone.

1. When has porn affected the ability to run for political office? Wasn’t there a porn star who ran for governer of California, as well as a member of Italian government who was in porn?
2. I’d say go for it. It’s so mainstream nowadays that it is probably on most people’s resume in and around Hollywood… 🙂
