I've ''heard'' for straight adult entertainment, most men get $200-$500 a scene. That's average. If you're somebody special who's selling box tops, you made a name for yourself and you may make your own demands. Of course, you also have to factor in the FACT that you may only work once a week if you're lucky, and it's usually less than that if you're just a Joe Six-pack sticking his toe in the water. $2,000+ a video for a big name (Shane, Mandingo for example) is not unusual. Then, there's royalties (similar to other acting or the music business). For women in straight adult entertainment its usually $600-$2,000 per scene depending on what they are doing. Straight vanilla sex with a little oral, anal, dp, double anal, group sex, girl on girl, etc. They there's the whole ''fetish'' scene which can pay even more....we're talking about for women though. Straight men in straight adult entertainment are a dime a dozen as the saying goes. These days, you really have to bring something unique to the industry or literally be LUCKY to make a name for yourself as a straight man. ''Gay for pay'' or gay adult entertainment on the other hand is literally the opposite side of the coin for men. MEN in this side of the business literally can make just as much as women in straight adult entertainment. If you were to do a ''behind the scenes'' investigation into gay adult entertainment, you'd actually find many of the men are ''straight'' or in relationships which would be considered ''straight''.
Once upon a time I actually got offered to work with Bang Bros. It was very tempting I might add, but I turned it down due to meeting a wonderful woman who is now my wife.
