The hourly rate for porn work is no higher than our job and there is also mostly no condom use.

I think porn stars are regularly tested though.

I've always wondered about how much money you can make (average) with porn. If I could only disguise my face, I would love  to do that, which seems strange as I was once very shy.  But I'm still always afraid that I'll never be able to separate myself from videos showing me forever....

Probably not. But the question is whether you need to or want to. Personally I don't care. All my future plans see me self-employed so I shouldn't be subject to the whims of touchy prudish employers, and my social environment is sex-positive enough that it won't cause any issues should they find out. At most my uncle may be concerned or shocked because he's a religious Muslim. I don't keep friends who would think lower of me for being more sexual than them.

But I think people in the UK worry WAY more than they need to. At the surface the UK is awfully prudish, but if you take a closer look, it's really just repressed. I.e. horny people pretending they're not horny because they think the other people actually aren't horny and might judge them. Perhaps some may truly judge them. But in the end most people don't give a crap - not enough to create trouble at any rate. And if you do end up in a judgemental environment, just move.

There is no hourly rate for porn you are paid per shoot. Girls coming into the industry are on shockingly low rates such as £400 to shoot all day. If by some miracle you are one of the very few who take off you may make it to £800 a day. A day runs from 8am - 7pm. They start early to make sure you aren’t under the influence of anything. You will need to have a catalogue of clean tests and one within a week  before your shoot. you  will be photographed with your passport and your current test so that of you have faked a test you can be prosecuted. Condoms are not used in U.K. porn at the moment so it will be bareback.

It’s worth noting, the major porn companies you will of all heard of only shoot girls maybe twice per year so porn is not a career. Only fans yes. Porn in the mainstream U.K. is dead. Corona and the rise of only fans has literally finished it off.

The only advantage to shooting porn in the past was to generate higher escorting rates and a fan base who treat you from wish lists etc. But you can gain the same fame from Instagram now if you market yourself well.
