at least make
someone’s sex life a little less interesting and a little
less frequent. Less sex is evil, don’t be evil.
Reason Number Eight:
Forget about ever running for public office.
Not that that is such a horrible punishment, but you
have limited your career options. If you were ever to
run for city council, mayor or dogcatcher, you can
bet the political opposition will find every movie
with your name on it (or alias) and make sure the
mud slinging sticks to you.
A candidate for the U.S. Congress was found
to have advertised in a swinger’s magazine for him
and his wife. The opposition made lunch meat out of
his political career. He’s probably a used car sales
manager now. Bastards.
Anything written and/or verbally or visually
recorded seems to last a long time these days. If it’s

17 out there you can bet someone will find it at the least
opportune time. It could affect future generations of
your offspring. Great grandpa was a smut dealer,
great; there goes junior’s chance of being president.
Reason Number Nine:
Who do you go to when you have questions?
It’s not like you can go to the local library and look
it up. Cannibalizing from other legit sources maybe
somewhat helpful. The big studios and distributors
aren’t going to give you free advice. You are pretty
much on your own.
When one of the stars show up on set without
their “aids free” documentation what do you do? Is it
considered prostitution if you pay someone to
perform sex in front of a camera? The woodsman
has lost his wood and his confidence how can you
help?
The starlet forgot to do an enema and the next
scene calls for anal penetration, do you risk it? These
are some of the more benign questions you may face
and have to decide on without any help.
If you have a weak personality, are wishy
washy and have a hard time making snap decisions,

18 hang it up now. Directing is about improvising and
you either have it or will learn it or will fail. No one
likes a failure.
Reason Number 10:
Reread reasons number 1 through nine.
Really read them carefully. Ask yourself do I really
want to do this? Is this my calling in life? Am I
confident that what I am doing is worth the time and
effort? Will anyone care about the work that I
produce?
Self-confidence is a requirement for this line
of business. You will go through countless
frustrations, legal hassles, money woes and dealing
with personalities that may or may not be of any
worth to you. Basically you are going to wade
through a lot of bullshit with little to show for it.
Why put yourself in such a thankless position?
The potential legal hassles themselves are
enough to stop right now. If you don’t end up in the
county jail, will the legal fees throw you into
bankruptcy? How strong are your convictions that
this is truly worth it?
If you have made it this far without
shutting this book, please read on. There is one

one. If you haven’t been discouraged with what you
have read so far, are willing to take some risks and
some setbacks, than you will realize why the one
reason to become a porn director is the only one you
need to continue.

The One Reason to Become
a Porn Director:
Sex. Plain and simple. Porn directing is about
sex. It’s about the sounds of sex the smell of sex the
animalistic ritual that we humans participate in with
vigor and enthusiasm. Sex is intertwined into the
fabric of our society. It is in every magazine we
read, every commercial we see, in every endeavor
that we start. Sex is everywhere.
There are doers and there are watchers. Then
there are those who like to do, watch and record for
posterity sex in every form that we know of it. Sex is
good, screw greed. Sex on tape is the director’s art
board, the athlete’s field, and the astronaut’s moon.
It’s the goal of doing something you really like and
want to continue for a long time.
Porn directors fuel the fire of human lust,
stoking the blaze as far as it will go. Sex is our past,
our future and our destiny. It is what makes us
different from the cosmic dust that surrounds the
universe that we know. If forced to live on an island
with one other person whom would you choose, a
lawyer/politician/english lit professor or a porn
director/actor. You decide.
