Out here in Los Angeles, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a starving actor. It is no mystery, then, that some of these actors will turn to a career in porn to make a quick buck. It is very difficult for men to break into straight porn movies, and once they do, the pay really sucks, compared to what a porn actress makes.

Gay porn is a lot easier to get into, and it pays better. When a straight guy makes a gay porn movie for the money, it is called being "gay for pay".

Porn star Peter North has done this, which is why some straight guys don't like to watch him in action.
