Hello. I am a nineteen year old female. I want to do adult videos but I don’t know where to start. Where do I go and who do I talk to? Can you help me? I want to do videos for Vivid, Wicked or Ed Powers. Thank you.

OK, first things first, AIM Healthcare Foundation is a non-profit organization set up to maintain the physical and emotional health of the Adult Entertainment Industry. We are not a casting facility or an Agent. My first suggestion is to register with a LICENSED AGENT. There are only two in the adult biz, one being World Talent Modeling in Van Nuys, the other being Pretty Girl Modeling agency in Hollywood.

AIM can tell you how to keep healthy, and set your goals high have good boundaries about what you are willing and not willing to do. For example, if you need extra money and are planning to be a school teacher or are not expecting your family to see the movies you make, think again. Once you make a movie you will be seen anywhere from cable TV to the local video store, so if that bothers you, don't do this job, do something else. What I would suggest first is to look at the type of porn you would like to be in. It sounds like you already have. Start out SLOW- do a girl/ girl scene, or maybe a single pretty girl magazine shoot or a single girl masturbation scene first to see if you are comfortable with the camera. (I am, of course, assuming you have danced naked in the mirror until you liked what you see)

Second see if you can go on the set of a porn film so you can really get a clear idea on how it is shot. Porn is not shot like it looks. The hours can be long and hard on the pussy, so get plenty of lube if you decide to have a go at it. Get and ask for a current HIV test from AIM Healthcare Foundation. The test must be less than 30 days old. We also have STD testing, treatment and GYN services that you will need to avail yourself of to keep that beautiful body working healthy. Remember, there are no laws or unions in porn, work for those you choose to and yes, of course, Ed Powers and Vivid are great choices for a new girl. You have the right to ask for condoms, health certificates, someone to accompany you to the set if you wish. Oh, and one more VERY IMPORTANT THING YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FUCK FOR THE JOB, THAT IS THE JOB.

For more information on Sexual Health contact, AIM Healthcare Foundation (818) 981-5681 and we will send you a Porn 101 video which has more information for the new person. Please refer to our web site for more information on policy, procedure, and prevention education. Stay happy and healthy and thanks for asking important questions.
