QUEBEC CITY — Wannabe male adult stars can get a crash course on breaking into the business thanks to a new course being offered by a Canadian porn production company.
For $149, would-be studs can enroll in Pegas Productions’ intensive one-day training course that’s being billed as the first of its kind in the industry.
The fee covers the basics like how much the work pays, how often work can be expected, and how health can be affected.
“We have to dispel all the myths,” producer Nicola Lafleur told the Tornoto Sun.
Applicants had to submit a photo showing an erection. Of the 50 men who applied, only nine made the cut.
After a morning session focusing on the nuts and bolts of porn, male and female talent answer questions and share their stories from the business — along with demos of sexual positions. Students also get to see film equipment and what it’s like to be on-set.
"Students are allowed to try different sexual positions as well," Lafleur said. “But only simulations. We make them wear their underwear."
The idea reportedly sprang from a rookie performer who got nervous on one of the studio’s live sets.
"He was nervous, and under a lot of pressure," Lafleur said. "Perhaps if our course had been around he would have felt more comfortable."
