How much control do pornstars hold while filming?

Like for example when they do a scene, does the director let them do as they please, or do they straight to the full detail tell them what to do, when and how etc. What clothes to wear?


Does the director say cut start over again, didn't like the cum shot?

The director knows what we do or do not do when they book us, if they try to get us to do something we don't do that's when you speak up and don't do it. Also, you only have one chance to get the cum shot right

Considering that the guy has his dick out and the woman has teeth, yeah, I'd say they have as much control as they want.

or as Katie Morgan (in her little girl voice) said on her HBO series "I have my rules, and if the guy doesn't follow them, I squeeze their balls!" ;)

The girls are told what the scene will involve, the girls bring their own clothes, the scene starts and then the
cameraman fucks up the scene.

Ah ok, cause i thought if they had to many objections to what they won't do it won't make them very hireable would it? So i kinda assumed alot of the stars are willing to try something new
 
It would be nice if more of the women knew whom they are going to work with. I've read a lot of things that suggest they often don't until they arrive on scene. I don't think I could do that even if I was willing to perform in porn.

I'm guessing that it depends on the girl's status in the industry. A new "no name" girl probably has to put up with more crap than a "big name" girl who is well established. Leya, or one of the girls who actually goes on calls and shoots, can elaborate further. But I'd say it also depends on the type of porn company or director involved. I've seen some of the scenes that Cassandra Cruz did for Midnight Prowl and Latina Abuse. And while she probably had some idea of the nature of the scenes coming her way, I doubt she fully realized the level of abuse that was going to be heaped on her. The directors' goal was to break her. And once the scenes were released and she left the industry, they even bragged that they had. So while Cassandra let herself be put through that on several occasions, I doubt someone like Nina Mercedez would have.

didn't know a directors aim would be to do that, why would they do that? Din't really like her?

Some people are sadistic and/or hateful. Plus, people (mistakenly) assume that all the directors who do Latina, Asian or Black/interracial focused porn like Latinas, Asians or Blacks. Sometimes the goal is just to degrade and humiliate them. They may not like members of those groups at all... they just see them as animals meant for amusement. And if they can get the girls to cry or break down after the scene, I guess that makes these guys feel good. :dunno:

Those scenes did have some affect on Cassandra. I used to post on her board and converse with her. And there are scenes that she did (I know, because I saw them) that she'll now claim that she never did. I don't post on her board or converse with her any longer, because she seems to have some pretty deep issues that she needs to work out. But according to her, she did these scenes when she and her husband were in a hard spot and that was the quickest way to get the cash they needed. That's why I said that a bigger name star, with no money issues, probably couldn't have been roped into doing that stuff.

Ah ok i get you.

You know if the girls bought the clothes in, do they have to bring in something sexual, cause otherwise you could argue and say they would bring their typical everyday clothes, ie t shirt and track suit, if they wanted?

Also if somebody new wanted to enter the business with no background etc how do they go about it? Im aware the industry is based on looks and even though looks can be subjective there must be standards that they must tick, what are they? How do they get in? Something like let me see a lil clip of you and your bf doing it? Does the panel get an errection majority. Just dunno how it works.

All a girl has to do is be interested in participating in adult work, tell someone, get her name out there, contact someone that works in the industry, let them take a look at her, and if they like her, ta-da!

As for clothes, it depends on who you're working with. Some directors will have some clothes and props already, and some girls will have their own. But it never plays out in a way where the girl can bring whatever the hell she wants, like you mentioned a track suit and t-shirt, stick it on, and start shooting. It doesn't work like that. The scenes are discussed beforehand, both parties must agree to what is being done, and wardrobe is decided beforehand. In some cases, I'm sure that sometimes there will be last minute changes or last minute outfits pulled together, but typically it's all thought out before they start shooting. And of course in some cases, yes, the girls do make a lot of those decisions themselves, but for the most part, no, it's all pre-planned.

As for your original question... it all depends on who you're working with, and perhaps, to some extent, how close of a relationship you have with the person you're working with.
Basically, no one really has control. Like I said, everything is discussed and agreed upon before shooting. Nearly every girl has limits. Some won't do anal, some won't do boy/girl, some won't do threesomes, some won't do bondage, some won't do any sort of BDSM, some won't do girl/girl, some won't do gangbangs, some won't do interracial, and the list goes on. These are all discussed prior to working together. If the director and other participating parties can not respect the girl's limitations and comforts, then it's not happening. Ultimately, the girls decide what is and isn't ok. But the director (typically) decides how each scene will play out.

There are exceptions to this, like for me, in my videos, I lay out what's happening in shoots. I will not do a video unless I do it my way. I'm ok with minor tweaks and directions, but for the most part, it's all about me. But that's because I shoot differently than most people in this business. I only shoot real orgasms, real content, I refuse to do dirty talk, I will not go over the top and exaggerate my pleasure. That's what most people want girls to do, as simple as those small things may sound to do, but I won't do it. I refuse. So, in my case, I have the control during shoots. In most other cases, the director has the control over how the scenes play out, but the terms and conditions and guidelines are determined and agreed upon prior to shooting.

-- For those of you that don't know me or don't know about me, when I was 18 I did porn. I quit within a few months. Since then, I've only done photo shoots. As of this past April, I started shooting solo videos again, I just haven't released them yet (well, except one that was only a minute long), as I'm still waiting on my web guys to create that section on my site.
 
As long as what is being asked is not on a performers "will not do list", do the directors actually give direction as to position changes? (girl on top/doggy..etc) Or is it more of a "feel" thing, more of a natural sexual encounter?

Depends on the director I suppose. The one that I worked with when i did porn with other people (right now I just do solo), he told me the things he wanted me to do, like which positions he'd like to see, before we started shooting. It was just a general outline. For example:

"So for this video, I want you to start with some kissing and touching for maybe 5-10 minutes, then go on to giving him a blowjob, then he's going to eat you out. Then maybe you can do some more kissing and touching, but just for a minute or 2, and start with some missionary. We'll switch it up with some doggy, you on top, and side by side every 10-15 minutes or so."

Then during the video, if we were taking too long on one particular position or action, he'd stop filming and say, "Guys, come on, let's move along." In other words, if we got too carried away with each other, he'd get us back on track.

Then there are other films where there is more of a very general outline. Usually the beginning is pretty specific, but as it gets further into the video, it's more... lenient. Like the Hand Job Fairy video I did. I was told that the guy would be sleeping on the couch, and I had to wake him up, use my imagination, improvise a little if I need to, but wake him up by touching him, rubbing his package, and he'd stir and say, "Who are you?" And I had to respond with, "I'm the Hand Job Fairy." And he told me that after that, to carry on some light conversation, and then just go into giving him a hand job with different speeds, angles, positions, maybe sit on top of him reverse cowgirl style and jerk him off, lick his dick if I wanted but not too much because it was about hand jobs, not blow jobs.

As for my solo videos now, it's all about me. I control what I do. I'm sure that as I get more into shooting with the guy that works with me on my site's content, as I get more comfortable with shooting videos and doing different things, he'll stop every now and then and suggest that I turn around and show off my ass, little things like that. But for the most part, it's going to be natural, it's going to be whatever it takes for me to reach orgasm, because that's what my videos are about: Real orgasms.

Im aware that the common won't do's is anal and interacial and even though i understand the reasons of interacial, what is the reasons why some girls won't do anal?
