20.4 How long do actors stay in the business of making videos?

It varies wildly. Directors stay a long time, because it tends to
be a profitable sideline. Some of the photographers have been
doing the work for decades. As for actors and actresses, it
depends on the person. But, by and large, hetero males stay far
longer than females. Male actors stay in porn, on average,
approximately ten to fifteen years. Ron Jeremy and Joey Silvera,
for instance, have been in porn movies for almost two decades.
Eric Edwards has made videos since the 1960's. And Randy West has
been in adult videos for almost ten years.

Females, on the other hand, switch very often. The average time
spent in the business is a year, and it is a rare actress who stays
in the business more than three or four years without some sort of
hiatus.

Tim Evanson passes along that Jerry Douglas, editor of MANSHOTS,
recently noted that most gay porn stars make about 3 movies and
then leave--which means, usually, that they last less than 6
months. Some gay actors have lasted as long as 7 years. "Stars"
like Joey Stefano or Matt Gunther often stay about 3-4 years.
