Gay for Pay?

Interestingly enough, I'm not sure if it's true anymore but I remember watching something about porn once and it said that a lot of straight guys do gay porns initially to get their foot (or you can figure what other word I was going to say) in the door.

Last I heard of, it was still true. And some straight guys stay in the field for the money. A few years ago, I was at a friend's place, and we watched this on-demand show that went into the details of starring in porn. There are a lot of guys who want to get into straight porn. (From this point, any dollar figures I mention are about 5 years old.) It was that being a male in straight porn would pay about $200-300 per scene. If that's not enough for you, then begone, we'll take the next person in the queue. But, since fewer males were willing to do this, they would start at $1000/scene, though it would typically be between $1500-2000/scene. Someone who makes their living in porn knows this difference, and they have to decide if it's worth it.

And yes, the shortage of guys does mean getting your "head" in the door in gay porn is easier. As an inexperienced person, you'll be closer to the $1000 end, but all it takes is a good couple of scenes that might get the director's attention for a straight porn. Of course, I would pass up said straight porn, but the best pay for straight porn is when you're contacted by the director. (Even then, it's rarely over $500/scene...)
