Yeah somewhat that but also just supply and demand. For obvious reasons, the list of men who want to have sex with a porn star is much longer than the actual list of available female porn stars.I've heard that straight male pornstars get paid fuck all because everyone is watching for the girl not the guy. And they don't care because they're being paid something to fuck hot chick's.whereas gay porn pays better because people are paying for you so to speak.
People need to understand that porn is literally just acting lol. People are hired to play a role, sometimes the role is actually in line with them, but usually it's just another character.
