[Guest]

How can you find work in BB porn for behind the scenes (not acting) jobs?  Anyone know?

I can't answer definitively, but I'd guess it's like most jobs: by word of mouth and making a connection.

What cinematographic experience do you have, or make-up experience, or set arranging? You still probably need to get in by word of mouth, but you've got to have a sellable skill.

I'm sorry, but that really gave me a big chuckle. "Do we put the couch against this wall, or that wall? Do we need a fake plant beside it?"

I don't blame you for chuckling, but that really is how theaters work according to a workmate who did theater work in the evenings. His entire job was scene-shifter - where someone painted a backdrop and his job was to position is between scenes. 10 minutes work for $140 ain't bad.

I can understand the chuckle. But good porn often is good in part because of attention to details, and sets can be part of that (and conversely, bad porn can be worse because of the sets). I'd imagine that the proliferation of amateur porn, there are fewer "behind the scenes" jobs like this available, though.

To expound on this a bit: I remember a scene in a Jeff Stryker compilation that was so incredibly silly and poorly made I don't know how anyone ever even got hard watching it. Stryker was portraying an "Indian" (their term) who rescued a white man who'd been staked down spread-eagled in the hot sun by someone (presumably, some "savage" natives), and took the man back to his cave encampment.

Ostensibly this cave (which was pristine - no dirt, no loose rocks, almost perfectly smooth floor) was where he lived; there was a "campfire" but no signs of any means of cooking or food; and despite being a cave with no visible entrance for daylight was nonetheless as bright as a modern office building thanks to the lighting used. (The part that made it really laughable was the execrable dialogue - "Suck this red man's cock white boy" and the like - but it MIGHT have been almost passable if they'd managed the cave idea a little better.

The closest I got to getting involved with porn was pure chance. I was drunk as fuck one night while serving in Germany and accepted a ride back to barracks from a total stranger in a shiny black Mercedes, who proceeded to give me a ride back to barracks while explaining that he made pornos and gave me his business card before inviting me to call if I was still interested once I sobered up. Sadly I was due to be moved to a different country a week later, so the only fun I had was the actual auditioning. 

Just for the hell of it I've attached an ID photo of myself taken - mainly because it's the oldest photo I still have of myself (ex-wife took everything, including carpets and curtains, when she walked out on me). I would be interested to know how old you think I was when the picture was taken.

Ah yes, the good ole days of porn when they actually would attempt something of a story beyond dad walking into the living room and fucking his son or a gangbang in a cheap motel room. (At least Fraternity X ATTEMPTS to make it resemble a frat house. But then how hard is it to drag in a ratty couch from the curb and throw a few beer cans around with the obligatory girl in bikini posters on the wall.) I remember what I  think was Joey Stephano's last porn called Prince Charming. The sets were so beyond cheesy they looked like a broke high school production of Romeo and Juliet. Of course, Joey was so high he could barely slur out his minimal lines. Not that speaking was what he was know for. (rest his perfect insatiable ass) But he was swaying so badly I thought he was going to crash through the cardboard "stone" walls. Lol. 

And that picture is probably from 83 so I'm guessing you were about 19.

Though I will say I wasn't in a fraternity myself, I was friendly with a number of frat boys in college, and while the ratty couch part may be realistic, the boys (in my experience) are not. At least here in the south, fraternities are much more about money and status, even when it's "rich good old boy", than about pure debauchery. Even back when I was in college, shortly after the dinosaurs were wiped out, the vast majority of frat boys didn't smoke, and with the declines in smoking in general, I suspect the percentage today is markedly lower; but it seems to be a huge fetish for the Fraternity X creators.

I also realize that today tattoos are more accepted at various levels of society but the kind of "graffiti art" tats that are so common on tweaking porn boys today would still never be found in any fraternity I know. And speaking of, while most frat boys were no stranger to drink, and many were known to use some of the party substances of the day (mostly coke and the occasional pill), the meth-head aesthetic prevent in FratX videos is so far removed from the fraternities I saw (and still see)

My posts have been half hearted attempts at levity to try and raise my own spirits. (after a craptastic Christmas followed by major ghosting and ending with a Perkins lunch yesterday that has resulted in the day long shits today) And since we've veered far from the original question, which has basically been answered by, "you gotta know people", I'll continue for my own amusement. If you don't like the discourse, just give me a down vote now and move on. That would hardly be the lowest point of this week.

I absolutely agree that fraternities vary wildly depending on the part of the country and the school itself. Here's a quick breakdown of the ones at my school. Keep in mind that alcohol was verboten in sororities, so the real partying fell to the boys.

Sigma Phi Epsilon was the rich boy/top jocks frat. Very nice house, large white colonial, lots of coke. (Meth wasn't a thing yet)

Sigma Nu was the nerds who really wanted to go to places like Dartmouth or Penn State, but didn't get in. They also wanted to be in other frats, but didn't get in. Again, nice house, mid-century modern. The other frats had a song for them sung to the tune of 'Oh My Darlin Clementine". Ahem....

"I'm an asshole, I'm an asshole, I'm an asshole through and through.

But I'd rather be an asshole, than a fucking Sigma Nu!"

Now Theta Chi was the straight up jock frat. They would most resemble Fraternity X. They were also known for date rape. A brick colonial house that was a shit hole inside. I actually believe they got shut down in the 90's. Again, date rape.

Alpha Tau Omega was the one I was affiliated with. The true party frat. Very ecclectic mix of guys, lots of what we called "Granola's." East coast kids that came West and pretended they didn't have money. Think L.L.Bean and Birkenstocks. We had THE premier party of the year, the annual Toga Party. Nice large Victorian house, but I wouldn't recommend walking on the carpets in bare feet. Weed, shrooms and acid were plentiful. (Fun fact. Carrol O'Connor, who played Archie Bunker, this was his frat when he went here.)

I know there's another house I'm forgetting, so they couldn't have mattered much. Plus I've fried a lot of brain cells.

I graduated from a 2 year AudioVisual production program at a local community college way back in '89.  I've lost all those skills since.  I do however have many years in marketing, so I could promote porn I guess?

You never know until you meet porn-makers. I was shit-faced drunk when I was offered a change to appear in German porn. Even porn needs advertising and marketing, and there's probably contact information on any porno DVD or magazine.

I'd love to find a job in bb porn. But I don't think Australia has much in that area lol
