Surprsingly Honest and Insightful Expose' of Adult Films.
30. März 2002
Format:Taschenbuch
I'll begin by saying I'm not in any way involved in the adult film industry, except for being a semi-regular consumer. Many reviewers poorly rate this book, arguing it isn't an accurate or effective guide. I suspect some negative reviewers have ideological problems with porn. I checked some of their other reviews and either they had written about very view sex-related books, or usually wrote about them negatively. To be fair, this wasn't the case for everyone, and some do seem genuinely well informed. That said, I bought this book primarily out or curiousity; I wanted a general understanding of what it's like to work in the porn industry.
On that level, the book seems to work for me. Loria provides fairly detailed steps for breaking into the world of adult films. She describes different types of adult films (gonzo, pro-am, etc.), legal aspects, and provides a fairly comprehensive list of contacts. She also provides detailed instructions/suggestions for making your own adult video (including legal safeguards and equipment suggestions). I didn't attempt to use any of the contacts, but as a consumer I did recognize several film company names.
What's most interesting are Loria's interviews with several porn actors. Through these interviews and personal anecdotes she's able to give the reader insight into the fiercely proctective social enclave that is the porn community. She provides a seemingly balanced perspective of what it's like to be in the porn industry, as her interviewees describe the good and bad aspects of being a porn actor. A surprising revelation is how difficult in can be for male porn actors. A common criticisism of pornography is that it exploits women, but interviews with male porn actors reveal that in some ways they are under greater pressure than their female counterparts.
Though the book is fairly balanced in dipicting both good and bad aspects of the industry, at times it does seem to gloss over the more seamy aspects of the industry. I've read in other sources that many porn filmmakers are duplicitous, untrustworthy, and selfishly manipulative (though of course it's unfair to characterize all pornographic filmmakers this way). Loria touches on this aspect of the industry somewhat, but only in a cursory manner.
1-2-3 Be a Porn Star is a great read for those thinking of entering, or anyone curious about the porn industry. Like so many other males, I casually maintained the notion of working in adult films. After reading this book and getting a more detailed understanding of the industry, I can say that it's definetly not for me. As an ocassional viewer of pornography, I found this to be an interesting and revealing look behind the scenes of adult films.

I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS BOOK FOR YEARS
3. Februar 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
And no, it's not because I myself want to be a porn star (in case Mom is reading this!), but I've always been really curious about how the adult industry works. Everyone talks about the seedy sets and sleazy producers, but I was totally amazed at how professional this book is. I expected a lot of poor writing and unorganized details, so I was really happy to discover exactly the opposite. I now feel very confident that I know how this business works and what I would need to do in case I decided to pursue this line of work (which I haven't yet, okay!) But if I did, I would thank Ana Loria because she's taken out a lot of the difficulty and sleazy aspects, and made it a totally professional and legitimate endeavor, as it should be. FIVE STARS AND MORE.

Loaded With Helpful Tips!
6. Oktober 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
As a writer for adult zines, I'm pretty sure I don't want to be a porn star myself... at least not full-time. But I have tons of friends and neighbors who always pester me with questions about the best way to break into the business. Well, I used to feel my answers were lame because it's kind of tricky to explain all the hoops you have to jump through to get a chance on the set. But Ana Loria's book breaks it down into three easy steps, and her advice is superb. The interviews are also fascinating and they portray life as a porn star quite realistically. Now I just need to make sure I keep enough copies on hand to give out to all the porn wannabes.
