While it may or may not seem like it, becoming a porn star is actually extremely hard. (Pun not intended, but if it fits, it fits, again pun not intended)

Everyone watches porn but not a lot of people would actually want to become a pornstar, so they won't really bother to research about how to get in the business. It may seem like 'oh, it's just about having ***', but it's way more than that. Settle down, because -

It's quite difficult to make it as male porn star, and a Redditor called 'carnageeleven' decided to list out all the requirements – and there are a lot – and it's surprising that there are people who actually clear the initial stage.

So, carnageeleven's friend was offered a job as a male porn star with BangBros in Miami for $35,000 a year, and they explained all the key requirements for the job on Reddit.

First things first, size matters. Mostly, they look for guys with above average dicks, we're talking 8-9 inches at least. Then comes the hard part, literally. You should have the ability to get hard quickly, with little or no stimulation, and should also be able to cum on command. And, now comes the part that would probably just scare away all the guys – “You shouldn't have a problem with doing some things that might seem gay to most men.”

Okay, the next one is pretty standard – you need to have a professional portfolio. Now comes the real bit – “If you get as far as an interview, you will walk into a room with an older dude. He will tell you to pull out your dick. You have 30 seconds to get hard. There may or may not be an actress there. She may or may not help you. As in, she'll allow you to look at her boobs (if you're a good-looking dude she might even let you touch her. Nothing below the waist). You will be asked to masturbate for around 10-15 min, again... With no visual stimulation or anything.”

Then, the director will tell you to cum, and you would only have a minute to 'blow your load'. After 15 minutes, you'll have to get hard again, which will probably be really hard as it is, but then you have to maintain that erection for at least 10 minutes, and then you'll be asked to cum again. If you can survive through all of that, and perform well, then you'll be offered a job.

Obviously, when you're actually filming you need to know how to maintain your erection, between shots and all. But, it doesn't end there – “You've got you be able to **** in very odd positions. For example, leg up doggy style, sideways shot from behind. Keep in mind they're looking for good shots of the woman and you're just a dick. Move your leg this way, it'll seem very awkward and uncomfortable. But it's about what the camera sees and how it feels to you.”

With so many people behind the camera, just watching you do your thing, there's no room for modesty. Also, there's enjoying *** as well. Even though you have to pretend on camera that you're so turned on by the girl, in your mind you'll probably just be thinking about whatever stops you from cumming. If you've come this far, c'mon man, you can't blow it now, you'll just be wasting everyone's money and time.

The most important skills – “Get hard on demand, cum on demand, learn to aim your nut with a snipers precision. And be quick about being able to nut again.” That's a lot to take in.

Along with being fit and being able to do all the scenes, one more thing helps a lot – “It helps to be bi, or even gay, since you're going to be fucking a girl for upwards of an hour and you can't be fighting your nut the entire time.”

Well, that was a lot of information to take in at once. I actually have a lot of respect for all the pornstars, they work so hard. But obviously, the Reddit user also highlighted that there's still some discrimination – “It's easy to get into as a girl, it's extremely difficult to get into as a guy.”

Well, if you're aspiring to get into porn, I'm genuinely saying this, Good luck, because you really really need it.
