Porn and the people who star in it.

---

My penis is 6.5", give or take. But when I watch porn, they look HUMONGOUS compared to mine. I was wondering if everyone in the porn industry has to have a requisite of a certain size of their penis?

I'm sure there's no "set size" for penis length, but tons of guys try to get into the porn industry. Something has got to set them apart from the other guys. Why you think the girls get paid more than the guys? Becuase there's a much higher supply of willing guys than there are willing girls. I'm sure it would help to get noticed having a 12" penis as compared to a 3" one...

The most important requirement for a male porn actor is the ability to be hard in the presence of lots of technicians who keep stopping the action to move a light or a camera.But a large penis is also helpful technically, because it makes it easier to film the action, and it is a drawcard in itself. The sizes are always exaggerated, though.

In reply to: The most important requirement for a male porn actor is the ability to be hard in the presence of lots of technicians who keep stopping the action to move a light or a camera. They've got buffers for the long in between takes.

yeah special camera angles help out porn so much. to enchance the size of the penis through the lens.

whoops, I hope you didn't take my post the wrong way. Now that I reread it I can see how you could have. lol. Buffers are women that give BJs in between takes to keep the guys hard.

Isn't that "fluffers"?

And lets not forget that there is also digital enhancement available....things are much different there than in real life. Ever notice how much a guy ejaculates in them? No one has them like they do. Don't give it another thought and certainly don't judge your experiences based on what you see in porn!

you say they alter the cumshot endings? I think you're mistakin their bro. Some of the virtual sex tapes have fake cumshots, but you can normally tell if they're real or not. Peter North is one that's not enhanced.

In reply to: And lets not forget that there is also digital enhancement available I'm not even sure what you mean by that, but if you're saying that porn star's dicks are digitally enlarged then you're wrong (unless you're talking about pictures, but you'd still be wrong for the most part)

Digitally enhanced?? Fake?? I'll never look at another porn the same.

Porn star penises look larger because:1 - They often ARE larger. Most porn stars are at least 7" long and 5.5" to 6" in girth. As someone mentioned already, there are plenty of porn stars to choose from, so producers usually only pick the largest penis size from the applicants. But these are no where near the average penis size. Most are within the top 2% largest penis sizes among all men, which is to say relatively rare. You can't look at a porn star and say that's what a normal size penis is, because most are substantially larger than average. 2 - The camera angles are often choosen to enhance the size appearance of the penis. There are optical illusions in certain viewing angles of a penis that makes it look larger than it really is. Porn directors take advantage of this. Some are also enhanced with special lenses or effects to make it look bigger as well. 3 - You can't judge penis size very well on a TV set or on a computer screen. Penises often look smaller or larger on a screen than they really are in real life. Lighting, skin color, body fat, even penis head shape all play a role in how big or small a penis looks on camera. I often use something as a reference point to judge how big a penis is in a porno. For example, I know my cock is 7" long erect, and I can put both of my hands around it, one on top of another, and most of the head still peaks through the end of the 2nd hand. So if a porn star is covering half or less of his penis with one hand, then he has at least a 7 incher. If two hands would cover his entire cock, then he has less than a 6 incher. Same with girth - I know I have a 5" girth when erect, and when I wrap my hand around it, the tip of my index finger meets in between my thumbnail and the first joint on my thumb. If a porn star's index fingergoes closer to the tip of his thumb, then he's closer to 5.5 or 6" girth. I know there's variability such as hand size (I have large hands), but still, it gives you at least a rough approximation. 4 - Even if another guy has the same size penis as you, it will often look bigger to you than your own penis does. A lot of this has to do with different viewing angles. Like you can't really view your penis directly from the side, or from the bottom, etc. unless you film yourself or view yourself with a mirror. If you do film yourself or look at your penis in a mirror, chances are it will look substantially larger than it does from looking at it from above. Anyway, I would estimate most of the porn stars I've seen are 7 to 8 inches long, and 5.5 to 6" girth. So yeah, definitely bigger than I am, and I'm not small. I think the biggest one I've seen on a porno was John Holmes, who I think was around 10" erect and 6" girth (maybe more). If you can call it erect - it was so big it never seemed to get fully hard, and it was so heavy it could never stand upwards - it always kind of hung down and stayed somewhat flexible, like a giant semi hardon.

A related question for anyone to answer: Do most males prefer seeing larger penises in porn? My intuition would be that people do not want to feel inadequate or small--and therefore wouldn't want to be inundated with photos and videos of large penises. However, males are the targeted market of most porns, and most male porn-stars are considerably above average. From a marketing standpoint, why would this be? Are males attracted to large penises? Do they find sex between a women and a well-endowed man more stimulating than sex between that same woman and an average man? It’s very odd…

It is odd, isn't it?

Males want male porn actors to be well endowed because when a man is watching porn, he is taking on the role of the man in the porn movie. If I'm going to "become" the guy in the movie, I obviously want him to be well endowed. If I see a porn chick holding a giant schlong, I imagine it's my giant schlong.

Yes, that makes some sense. It also fuels my suspicion that men are vastly more obsessed about huge penises than women. Then again, you needn't look any further than the posts in this forum to discover that fact. There are probably thousands or posts about penis size, and 95% of those posts are authored by males.

But on the other hand, wouldn't it be easier for a man to imagine himself as the male in a porn if the male had a penis that looked like his own (and was roughly the same size)?

In reply to: Isn't that "fluffers"? Actually, yes I think that's the correct porn term. lol. another whoops on my part.

Yeah, I really doubt penises are digitally enhanced. You have to remember, most of these films are pretty low budget. Can you imagine how much it would cost to "enhance" the size of a penis? If someone did have a smaller penis, why would they even bother "enhancing" it when there are plenty of guys with huge schlongs to fill the position.

OK folks I stand corrected. Lets just say that they use the best technology, camera angle and such to get the most effect and make the most out of what guys have. My point was to encourage guys not to believe everything they see there or to compare themselves to that small portion of the world that are endowed. I stand by my comment about the ejaculations though...too much shooting, too much ejaculate for me to believe it is real.

Correct - ejaculations are very easy to fake in a porn flick. Hair conditioner, flour mixed with water, etc. - there are tons of solutions that can be made to look exactly like real cum. Its easy for the porn directors to set up an ejaculation device on the porn star and have it squirt on demand with the fake cum. Its also easy for a porn director to take a different real cum scene that happened to have a large load, and splice it in to a different sex scene. Finallly, I've seen another trick in amateur videos of these huge cum loads, where the guy makes a fake cum mixture (usually flour, water, and a bit of corn syrup), and injects it into their bladder with a catheter before the filming. Then the guy just 'pisses' out the fake cum when he wants to, and does it in spurts so it looks somewhat real. But if you look closely you can see him trying to force it out of his bladder each time. Looks cool though, but its 100% fake.
